Coming next
The radar, done honestly. Three statuses only: Confirmed date, Waitlist / Preview, and Due-next (pattern, no date). If we do not know a date, we do not invent one — that is the NextAIModel lesson.
How “Due” is judged (method, adapted from NextAIModel’s published method, not copied as our own claim): a model line is one line, never mixed with its Flash/Lite variant; the usual gap is the median of the last five gaps, with releases under 7 days apart merged; “Just released” is the first third of the usual gap, “Mid-cycle” is in between, “Due” is 85–100% of the gap, “Longer than usual” is past 100%; fewer than two gaps is “Too early to call”. Our own hit rate is not yet measured — it will be logged here honestly, starting empty, once enough cycles have passed.
Checked for new releases: 25 October 2026. This stamp is only updated after a real check, never auto-freshened.

Next flagship from any major lab
All labs. No lab has published a confirmed date for its next flagship as of 25 Oct 2026. Like NextAIModel, we track rhythm (how long since the last release in each line) and label it Due-next / Mid-cycle / Just released — never a fake exact date.

Gemini 4 Argon price step
Google. Intro $2/$10 per 1M tokens ends 30 Nov 2026. Standard price $4/$20 starts 1 Dec. This is a confirmed price change, not a new model — but it changes every budget built on Argon.
