It's ambiguous.

Mass-wise, it's a more or less smooth transition from the jovian planets to low-mass brown dwarfs.

Radius tends to get influenced in a somewhat complicated way by mass, and as far as the gas giants go, hotter planets tend to be larger than cooler ones. Measurement errors make this subject to change, but a hand-wavey figure would be ~2x Jupiter at the upper limit.

An honorable mention goes to mamajek's object due to its giant ring system.

Not only what the other guy said, but with over 2 billion objects in the GDR3 database and more coming in from Hubble and JWST everyday, it can be hard to keep up with extremes. I mean, it can literally change on a daily basis, so...there's that...

Oh! Never thought that being progressive leads to this big of confusion :)

Google is a search engine. It's not answering your question, it's finding results from different sources and dates. Are you actually that ignorant of what the return results actually are?

I am just a 16 y/o interested in Astronomy and stuff. Wanted answers and got them too and probably an unwanted critic too :)
