Google's Gemini Agent runs Claude Opus 5.5 alongside Gemini 4 Argon

Gemini Agent is a cloud-based multi-agent tool, which means it coordinates several AI models to carry out a task. Its stated selling point is that it does not lock users into a single model: each task is routed to whichever model fits, according to Google's Shubham Saboo. At launch that list already spans two rival vendors — Google's own Gemini 4 Argon and Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 and Claude Sonnet 5.5 — and Saboo said other closed and open models are due to be added.

What Google Cloud has not addressed is positioning. The announcement does not say how Gemini Agent relates to the existing Gemini app or Gemini Enterprise, nor which consumer or business plans will actually offer it. Pricing, too, is still open. ITmedia AI+ has asked Google Cloud Japan about both the links to existing services and any plan to offer Gemini Agent in Japan, and said it will report once it receives an answer.
