Figma Make: Gemini 4 Argon Model Now Rolling Out
FigmaFigma began rolling out Gemini 4 Argon as a selectable AI model in Figma Make on October 13, 2026. Users can pick it from the model menu in the Make chat box on a per-prompt basis, alongside the default model and other supported options from OpenAI and Anthropic. Figma notes that non-default models can behave differently and may consume credits at varying rates.
Key Takeaways
- Gemini 4 Argon joined Figma Make as a selectable model on October 13, 2026, adding a Google frontier model to the picker.
- Users choose the model per prompt from the model name in the Make chat box, and can switch at any time.
- New files start on the default model, while existing files reopen with the model last used.
- Figma Make is available on all plans, provided the team or organization's AI toggle is enabled.
- Figma warns that non-default models may cause unexpected errors, extra self-healing, or longer generation times.
- Credit usage for non-default models is still in development and may vary significantly, with some models costing substantially more per task.
Gemini 4 Argon Arrives in Figma Make
Figma announced on October 13, 2026 that Gemini 4 Argon is rolling out in Figma Make, its AI-powered tool for turning prompts into working prototypes and apps. The addition expands the set of models that designers and developers can choose from when building in Make, and brings a Google frontier model into a lineup that already includes models from OpenAI and Anthropic.
How to Use the New Model
Selecting the model takes a few clicks. In any Figma Make file, users click the model name in the chat box and choose Gemini 4 Argon for the prompt they are about to send. The choice can be changed at any time, so it is easy to try the same request against several models and compare results. New Make files start with the default model, while existing files reopen with whichever model the user last used.
Availability and Requirements
Figma Make is available on all plans, and the model picker follows the same rules as other models in the tool. The team or organization's AI toggle must be enabled for Make to work. Figma's documentation does not give a model-specific rollout schedule or plan restriction, and the release note describes the change as a rollout, so the model may appear for some accounts before others.
Things to Keep in Mind
Figma's help documentation cautions that models other than the default can behave differently. Users may see unexpected errors, additional self-healing passes, or longer reasoning and generation times. Credit consumption for non-default models is still being worked out and may vary significantly, with some models using substantially more credits per task than others. Teams watching their credit budgets should test the model on small tasks first.
Why It Matters
Model choice has become a practical lever in AI prototyping tools, since different models trade off speed, cost, and output quality. By adding Gemini 4 Argon, Figma gives Make users another option for complex prompts without leaving the tool or changing their workflow.
