GitHub made Google’s Gemini 4 Argon generally available, on gradual rollout, in Copilot Pro+, Max, Business, and Enterprise across VS Code, Visual Studio, CLI, coding agent, Copilot app, JetBrains, Xcode, and Eclipse. GitHub positions it for complex coding, agentic, and reasoning tasks and says early tests improved over previous Gemini models on its coding benchmarks (largest gains in Copilot CLI); those comparative results are vendor-reported, and usage-based billing applies. The cross-harness availability is a substantial new route to the model after its recent Google launch.

Aligned launched Seller Agent, embedding an action-taking agent in its sales deal workspace rather than a separate chat surface. Its always-on deal context can update mutual action plans/content with approval, generate deal assets, and run standing post-call instructions; the beta is available across Aligned plans, with pricing later. This is a newly surfaced vertical-agent pattern that binds execution to shared deal state and change approval; adoption/performance claims (including its reported “58 seconds” task completion) are company-provided, with no independent validation found.
