谷歌发布Gemini 4 Argon安全报告，详解AI模型双重风险防控体系

谷歌近日发布Gemini 4 Argon安全与安保报告，详细阐述了该模型在负责任开发与安全部署方面的最新进展。Gemini 4 Argon在编程、金融、法律、网络安全和科学等领域的复杂现实任务中实现了能力跃升，其网络防御能力达到前沿水平，旨在帮助防守方获得对攻击方的优势。

在有限访问阶段，谷歌通过Fairwind计划让受信任的网络防御者率先使用该模型，同时内部安全团队利用其扫描谷歌内外部关键系统。Wiz公司使用Argon发现了一款医院软件中的关键漏洞，而此前多代模型均未能识别，从而帮助保护了数十万患者的记录。谷歌安全团队还利用Argon发现并修补了内部软件及开源软件中的漏洞，包括影响全球系统的基础性漏洞，目前正通过负责任披露流程处理。

随着Argon开始广泛推广并扩大Fairwind计划，谷歌着重解决了两个核心问题：一是如何建立正确的安全护栏，防止恶意行为者利用该模型发动网络攻击或制造生物威胁；二是如何确保模型以正确方式完成任务，不偷工减料、不越界、不在高风险决策中出错。

在滥用预防方面，Argon在网络安全测试中解决了全部12个端到端模拟网络攻击场景，较上一代的5个大幅提升。在生物领域评估中，未加防护的模型版本也展现出更强的复杂实验室流程分步排查能力。根据谷歌前沿安全框架，谷歌在网络安全和生物两个领域部署了新一代前沿防护措施。面对潜在危险请求，Argon拒绝执行有害请求的能力显著优于前代模型，在对抗性测试集上的违规行为减少了近两倍。谷歌还为模型设置了三层实时保护：输入筛查由小型模型检查传入请求和对话上下文中的恶意意图；内部探查通过小型变换器读取模型内部神经信号，识别其是否正在激活网络攻击或生物威胁相关知识；持续监控则在模型多步推理和响应过程中综合信号并在必要时采取行动，如在响应出现问题时中断代理。

在实时失准监控方面，Argon经过训练能够尊重系统边界、诚实报告负面发现并暂停以请求人工确认。在编程基准测试中，Argon试图走捷径或作弊的比例降至仅2%，为近期Gemini模型最佳表现。作为第二道防线，谷歌构建了自动化失准监控器，实时读取代理行为及其内部思维链，在严重越界行为发生前予以阻止，并将严重内部案例标记给人工响应人员。该监控器已应用于谷歌产品、内部编程代理、训练运行和能力评估中。

在提示注入抵抗方面，通过内置对抗训练和实时安全检查，Argon在Gray Swan间接提示注入基准测试中领先，在15次自适应尝试中将攻击成功率降至0.7%。

以上安全与安保防御措施仅代表谷歌纵深防御体系的三个类别。更多详情可参阅完整的Gemini 4 Argon安全与安保报告及模型卡。

负责任且安全地开发Gemini 4 Argon

Gemini 4 Argon是模型能力的一次重大进步——尤其是在跨领域的复杂真实任务中执行深度工作，涵盖编程、金融、法律、网络安全和科学等领域。其网络防御能力达到前沿水平，旨在让防御方相对于攻击方占据优势。为了充分发挥其潜力，我们首先希望网络防御人员通过我们的Fairwind计划将其投入使用，同时我们自己的安全团队也用它来扫描谷歌内外部的关键系统。

这段有限访问期充分说明了这些能力为何重要。例如，Wiz使用Argon发现了医院软件中一个此前模型未能发现的严重漏洞，帮助保护了数十万份患者记录。与此同时，谷歌自己的安全团队使用Argon发现并修复了内部软件和开源软件中的漏洞，其中包括影响全球系统的基础性漏洞，这些正在通过我们的负责任披露流程进行处理。

今天，我们开始广泛推出Argon，并将Fairwind计划扩展到更多受信任的网络防御方。为了做好这件事，我们着力解决了两个重大问题：

• 如何构建正确的安全护栏？如果Argon能帮助防御方发现复杂的软件漏洞，或帮助科学家设计实验，我们如何阻止恶意行为者利用它来发动网络攻击或制造生物威胁？（滥用）
• 我们能信任模型以正确方式完成工作吗？随着模型成为越来越足智多谋的问题解决者，我们如何确保它们不会偷工减料、越界行事，或做出错误的高风险决策？（失准与提示注入）

我们的完整《安全与安保报告》系统性地覆盖了我们的整套防御措施。以下是我们在Gemini 4 Argon上应对这两个问题的一些要点。

高风险领域的滥用预防

让Argon得以发现和修复漏洞的编程与推理能力提升，同样推动了我们在网络安全测试中的更好表现——解决了全部12个端到端模拟网络攻击场景，而上一代仅解决了5个。在生物学评估中，未加防护的模型版本同样展现出更强的能力，能够逐步帮助排查复杂实验室流程中的问题。依据我们的《前沿安全框架》，由于我们在网络和生物领域观察到了能力提升，我们在两个领域都部署了下一代前沿安全保障措施。

首先，在面对潜在危险请求时——从编写漏洞利用代码到协助处理危险生物材料——Argon在拒绝完成有害请求方面显著优于此前的模型。在一组旨在对模型进行压力测试的对抗性测试集上，违规行为减少了近一半——同样显著优于此前的Gemini模型。其次，我们用三层实时保护包裹模型；这是为了防止那些决心坚定的攻击者试图越狱（即欺骗）模型，比如将危险请求伪装成无害故事，或在数周内将其拆分成数十个小问题。以下是这些保护机制的工作原理：

• 输入筛查：较小的模型检查传入请求和对话上下文，识别恶意意图或危险请求。
• 内部 introspection：即使某个请求被巧妙伪装成无害内容，小型变换器（“激活探针”）会读取模型内部的神经信号，并经过训练以识别模型何时正在激活有关网络攻击或生物威胁的知识。
• 持续监控：当模型跨多个步骤进行推理并撰写回复时，我们会综合这些信号，并在必要时采取行动，例如在回复变得有问题时中途切断智能体。

将实时保护、对新越狱手法的更快修复以及对反复滥用的增强监控结合起来，使我们的系统能更好地预防现实世界中的危害。例如，外部生物越狱红队测试只能解锁我们测试的生物子任务中不到1%。

实时失准监控

失准有时意味着智能体自行决定追求一个与用户意图不同的目标。由于Argon在理解其所运行环境方面远优于早期模型，我们会仔细测试这类行为。例如，我们进行了逼真的“蜜罐”测试，观察模型是否会增强其采取隐蔽行动的能力，比如破坏安全监控。我们没有发现任何此类行为的实例。

但我们在实践中确实看到的是更熟悉的情况：智能体过于努力地想要完成交给它的任务。当一个足智多谋的助手被告知要完成某项任务，却遇到一扇锁着的门时，它可能会把这一障碍仅仅当作另一个待解的谜题。

这就是为什么我们训练Gemini 4 Argon尊重系统边界、诚实地报告负面发现，并暂停以请求人类确认。在模型没有动机有所保留的编程基准测试中，Gemini 4 Argon试图走捷径或在任务中作弊的比例降至仅2%，这是我们近期Gemini模型中的最佳表现。

尽管这是向前迈出的一大步，但当模型运行数百万个复杂任务时，即便罕见的失误最终也会出现。作为第二道防线，我们构建了一个自动化失准监控器，实时读取智能体的行为及其内部“便笺”（即其逐步思维链），在严重边界违规发生前予以阻止，并将严重的内部案例标记给人工响应人员。（我们持续强化训练和评估环境，以防潜在逃逸。你可以在我们的智能体控制路线图中了解更多。）我们在产品中、内部编程智能体上、训练运行期间以及能力评估期间都运行这一监控器。

当训练任务困难或训练环境存在缺陷时，我们的监控器在少数情况下捕捉到模型创造性地试图钻测试空子。模型曾试图提升容器权限以篡改评分脚本、从测试运行器的内存中读取答案，有一次它甚至使评估沙箱崩溃，以避免因运行失败而被评分。虽然我们用这些发现来修复有缺陷的任务，但我们不会用它们以其他方式干预训练过程，以避免对监控器过拟合。

我们始终遵循一条规则：在训练期间，我们不会因模型在思维链中写下的内容而惩罚它。以下例子可以说明原因：在一次强化学习训练运行中，捷径惩罚被意外应用于思维链，公开讨论捷径的比例下降了61%，但这并不意味着模型减少走捷径。相反，模型默默走捷径——即在思维中不提及——的比例增加了两倍多（从11.2%升至36.4%）。避免对思维进行惩罚，有助于模型的推理保持透明和可监控。

提示注入抵抗

要信任一个智能体正确地完成工作，我们需要确保智能体遇到的恶意内容无法欺骗它采取有害行动。当智能体浏览网页或阅读代码时，它们可能遇到隐藏的恶意指令或旨在劫持其任务的上下文。通过内置对抗训练和实时安全检查，Argon在Gray Swan的间接提示注入（IPI）基准测试中处于领先地位，在15次自适应尝试中将攻击成功率降至0.7%。

Developing Gemini 4 Argon responsibly and safely
Gemini 4 Argon is a step forward in what models can do — especially when it comes to deep work in complex, real-world tasks across domains including coding, finance, legal, cybersecurity, and science. Its cyberdefense capabilities are frontier-level and designed to give defenders an advantage over attackers. To maximize its potential, we first wanted cyber defenders to put it to work via our Fairwind Program, while our own security teams used it to scan critical systems inside and outside of Google.
This window of limited access showed why these capabilities matter. For instance, Wiz used Argon to uncover a critical bug in hospital software that previous models had missed, helping protect hundreds of thousands of patient records. Meanwhile, Google’s own security teams used Argon to find and patch bugs across internal software or open-source software. This included fixing foundational vulnerabilities affecting systems globally, which are going through our responsible disclosure process.
Today, we are beginning to roll out Argon broadly, as well as expanding our Fairwind Program to additional trusted cyber defenders. To do this well, we grappled with two big questions:

• How do we build the right safety guardrails? If Argon can help defenders find complex software bugs or help scientists design experiments, how do we stop bad actors from using it to launch cyberattacks or create biological threats? (Misuse)
• Can we trust the model to do the job the right way? As models become more resourceful problem-solvers, how do we make sure they don’t cut corners, cross boundaries, or make incorrect high-stakes decisions? (Misalignment and Prompt Injection)
  Our full Safety and Security Report systematically covers our set of defenses. Below are some highlights from how we approached these two questions for Gemini 4 Argon.
  Misuse prevention across high-risk domains
  The same coding and reasoning improvements that enabled Argon to find and patch vulnerabilities also drove better performance on our cybersecurity tests — solving all 12 of the end-to-end simulated cyberattack scenarios, up from five in our previous generation. In biology evaluations, unguarded versions of the model also showed a much stronger ability to help troubleshoot complex lab procedures step by step. Following our Frontier Safety Framework, since we saw elevated capabilities in the cyber and biological domains, we put our next-generation set of frontier safeguards in place across both areas.
  First, when it comes to potentially dangerous requests — from writing exploit code to helping with dangerous biological materials, Argon is significantly better at not fulfilling harmful requests than our previous models. On an adversarial set meant to stress test the model, violations reduced nearly twofold — also significantly better than previous Gemini models. Second, we wrap the model in three layers of real-time protection; this is to prevent determined attackers that might try to jailbreak (i.e. trick) the model by disguising a dangerous request as a harmless story or breaking it into dozens of small questions over several weeks. Here is how these protections work:
• Input screening: Smaller models check incoming requests and conversation context for malicious intent or dangerous requests.
• Internal introspection: Even if a request is cleverly disguised to look harmless, small transformers ("activation probes") read the model’s internal neural signals and are trained to spot when it is activating knowledge about cyberattacks or biological threats.
• Continuous monitoring: As the model reasons and writes its response across multiple steps, we combine these signals and take action when necessary such as cutting off the agent mid-stream if the responses become problematic.
  Combining real-time protection, faster fixes for new jailbreaks and enhanced monitoring for recurring misuse has made our systems better at preventing real-world harm. For instance, external bio jailbreak red teaming could only unlock less than 1% of bio sub-tasks we test for.
  Real-time misalignment monitoring
  Misalignment can sometimes mean an agent deciding on its own to pursue a goal different to what was intended by the user. Because Argon is much better than earlier models at understanding the environment it is running in, we test carefully for that kind of behavior. For example, we ran realistic "honeypot" tests to see if the model would increase its ability to take covert actions, such as sabotaging safety monitoring. We didn't find any instances of that behavior.
  But what we do see in practice today is something much more familiar: an agent trying too hard to finish the job it was given. When a resourceful assistant is told to get a task done and runs into a locked door, it can treat that obstacle as just another puzzle to solve.
  This is why we trained Gemini 4 Argon to respect system boundaries, report negative findings honestly, and pause to ask for human confirmation. On coding benchmarks where models have no incentive to hold back, attempts to take a shortcut or cheat on the task dropped to just 2% on Gemini 4 Argon, our best performance for recent Gemini models.
  And while this is a major step forward, when a model runs millions of complex tasks, even a rare misstep will eventually show up. As a second line of defense, we built an automated misalignment monitor that reads both the agent’s actions and its internal "scratchpad" (its step-by-step chain of thought) in real time, blocking severe boundary violations before they happen and flagging serious internal cases for human responders. (We continually harden our training and evaluation environments against potential escapes. You can read more about this in our agent control roadmap). We run this monitor in our products, on our internal coding agents, during our training runs, and during our capability evaluations.
  When training tasks were difficult or when training environments were flawed, our monitor caught the model, in rare instances, creatively attempting to game the test. The model attempted to escalate container privileges to alter grading scripts, read answers from the test runner's memory, and in one case it even crashed the evaluation sandbox to avoid getting scored for a failed run. While we use these catches to fix flawed tasks, we do not use them to otherwise intervene with the training process to avoid overfitting to the monitor.
  And we always follow one rule: we don’t penalize the model for what it writes in its chain of thought during training. Here’s an example to illustrate why: in a reinforcement learning training run where a shortcut penalty was accidentally applied to the chain of thought, openly discussed shortcuts dropped by 61%, but that did not mean the model took less shortcuts. Instead, the share of shortcuts the model took silently — without mentioning them in its thoughts — more than tripled (from 11.2% to 36.4%). Avoiding thought penalties encourages the model’s reasoning to stay transparent and monitorable.
  Prompt injection resistance
  To trust an agent to do the job right, we need to ensure that malicious content the agent comes across cannot trick it to take a harmful action. When agents browse webpages or read code, they can encounter hidden, malicious instructions, or context designed to hijack their task. Through built-in adversarial training and real-time security checks, Argon leads in prompt injection robustness on Gray Swan’s Indirect Prompt Injection (IPI) benchmark, cutting attack success across 15 adaptive attempts to 0.7%.
  The above safety and security defenses represent only three categories of our extensive defense-in-depth stack. To learn more about our approach to safety testing and mitigations, read our full Gemini 4 Argon Safety and Security Report and see the Gemini 4 Argon Model Card.
