The Cloudflare's writeup on our php2shell response is up. Rules went live at 03:02 UTC, about 9 hours before disclosure. Unfortunately the vulnerability leaked early, so we were already watching attackers mutate payloads against the rules and updating as variants appeared. New rules keep landing in the WAF changelog. Expect updates through out the day. We will have a more thorough post of what we had to build to better protect people coming shortly. PHP runs almost 70% of websites. The flaw is in the runtime, so updating plugins won't fix it. Patch PHP. blog.cloudflare.com/php-vuln…

One-click mitigation for php2shell vulnerability: If you have Cloudflare in front of your PHP website, please login to the dashboard and click this button to make sure you are protected. dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:ac… This reduces your risk but doesn't fix the vulnerabilities in PHP. We recommend updating PHP to a patched version.

I'm really wondering why I see so many people complain about the Gemini 4 Argon quota. Testing it, obviously, it seems that, in a Pro account, the discrepancy in quota between Pro and the two Ultra account subscriptions seems to be huge. I'm a long-lasting Gemini user. I was, until a few months ago, on the $200 plan because I was using Opus 4.6 back then until the quota was extremely limited, and Gemini 2.5 was not a very good model for coding. That's why I reduced my plan, but I'm using many other Google applications that are in the Gemini bundle, so I stayed with them on the Ultra subscription for $99. The Ultra plan is a pretty nice package, specifically if you like to have a bit more cloud storage, but also YouTube Pro and things like that. Now, after testing Argon for3 days, I worked intensively with it. It's the third day in full, with several sessions, and my weekly quota was down to 16%. Now, a few hours ago, I upgraded to the $200 subscription, and looking at how slowly the weekly quota and the 5-hour quota are draining, I would say this is definitely more quota on the $200 plan than you would get for an Anthropic Max plan. I'm absolutely positive that this is a much better deal because it's also a much more reliable model, specifically when you have projects where you don't want to break something while you implement something new (like it will happen with the other so-called frontier models). I didn't have time until now to go into creative discussions with it to see how strong it is as a thinking partner, but as a coding agent and senior software engineer, it's really stunning.

Google AI Ultra is such a good deal because how good Argon is! Will give out Ultra to folks who build the craziest things with Argon.

My honest take on Gemini 4 Argon as someone who has never used a Gemini model for coding before: I reran a tough coding task that I previously gave to Claude Opus 5.5. Expecting it to fail, I gave the exact same task to Argon. Argon handled the whole thing better than Opus 5.5 and it currently costs half the price per token ($2/$10 vs $4/$20). The gap isn't there anymore.

I used Gemini 4 Argon to make Subway Surfers for the new flying Tesla Roadster 🚀 Fly over moving traffic, hit the thrusters to barrel roll in the sky, and collect air power-ups to set a high score. Play + code below!

Lots of excitement for Argon and Gemini this week on Antigravity. Resetting Argon and Gemini model quotas for everyone. Keep building through the weekend!

Gemini 4 Argon - Recreating the interactive lens lab demo by @RyanSael ! I gave it the post video and asked it to make me something similar and i think it nailed it... Made fully in three.js and it's live at thtbee.github.io/waggles/pla… It took 45 minutes for the whole thing..!

Four Gemini 4 Argon agents beat Minecraft from scratch in 27 hours. Operating in a sandbox using only code and text, they wrote 2,783 programs, divided up jobs over chat, shared notes, and debugged errors together - all with no human help ↓ xitter.cf/maxencefaldor/status/2…

We’re rolling out Gemini 4 Argon in Antigravity to paid Google AI Pro subscribers today. Demand has been incredible and we've scaled capacity deliberately to get here. We’ve rolled out a separate weekly-only Argon quota for Pro on top of the existing Gemini bucket for 3.8 Flash so you have the best of Gemini for all your tasks.

Gemini 4 Argon is live in Antigravity for paid Pro subscribers. As part of Pro, you get a separate weekly quota so it doesn’t eat up your Flash quota. Excited to see Antigravity push the limits of our best model yet. Love to see what you build!

Gemini 4 Argon can turn messy data into clean, visual narratives in just minutes 🪐 Here’s how it processed 80,000 files from @NASA's open archives (CSVs, images, PDFs, web articles, XML logs, and raw videos) to build a Google Slides deck based on strict design guidelines.

A few workflow tips if you're using Gemini 4 Argon in Antigravity CLI: 1. Right-size reasoning effort (/effort) Argon thinks deeply—which is great for architecture & gnarly bugs, but overkill for mechanical edits. Keep it on medium by default, bump to high when planning/debugging, and drop to low for quick refactors. 2. One-shot model consults (/model ) You don't need to stay on your heaviest model all session. Run a single prompt on Argon to diagnose a tricky bug or review a design, then automatically drop back to your faster default model. 3. Delegate to subagents & follow up with @ Offload repo exploration or test writing to subagents (coder / tester / reviewer) so your main Argon thread stays focused—type @ to message a subagent directly, or press Ctrl+K when a subagent surfaces a question (new in v1.3.6). 4. Side questions without polluting context (/btw) Need a quick syntax check mid-task? /btw answers in a side overlay without adding a single token to your main trajectory. 5. Inspect changes in-terminal (/diff) v1.3.5–1.3.6 adds a file tree, change stats, commit-message copy, and a highlighted commit tree view right in /diff.
