Google Launches Gemini 4 Argon Globally Across All Platforms

On October 14, Google DeepMind officially launched the frontier model Gemini 4 Argon worldwide — the first model in the Gemini 4 series, succeeding Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview. CEO Sundar Pichai and official accounts announced it simultaneously, positioning it as "solving the hardest problems end to end" with a focus on coding, enterprise workflows, and cyber defense, covering complex real-world tasks across coding, finance, legal, cybersecurity, and science.

Confirmed

• Availability: Developers and enterprises can access it via the Gemini API and paid tiers of the Gemini platform; Ultra subscribers can try it in Google Antigravity, AI Studio, and Android Studio; enterprises can use the Gemini lineup (see the official blog for enterprise product details); general users get it through the Gemini app and Search.
• Pricing: According to a report relayed from VentureBeat, a limited-time low API price is being offered at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens; it is a vision-language model accepting text/image/video input, with context and output both up to 1 million tokens (per DeepLearningAI's recap).
• Safety policy: Per DeepLearningAI, it targets knowledge work with low hallucination (15% hallucination rate), and in safety evaluations it is currently open only to cybersecurity defenders.
• Internal use: According to a repost, over 100,000 Google employees have used the model daily in Antigravity for work and long-horizon tasks over the past month.
• Official demos: In the Gemini app, it can turn a messy unstructured folder (recipes, seating charts) into a polished client pitch deck, combining custom skills and scheduled tasks; in Antigravity, it can design custom hardware from scratch based on a rough 2D sketch, generating assemblable CAD within minutes while automatically computing mechanical parameters.
• Benchmarks: The official evaluation table shows Vals Index 68.9%, AutomationBench 51.3%, Harvey legal Agent 19.6%, and DeepSWE 77.9%, leading GPT-6 and Claude on multiple benchmarks (per official data attached to a repost).
• Limited-time offers: Scientists get free access for 6 months, and security researchers can apply to have guardrails lifted.

Why it matters

Argon is seen as a marker of Google's return to the model frontier, with users like markk posting to celebrate its release; its low limited-time API pricing and targeted optimization for professional scenarios like coding, legal, and security will directly challenge GPT-6 and Claude's enterprise market; the scale validation from 100,000 Google employees using it daily also provides internal endorsement of its capabilities.
