Google Launches Gemini 4 Argon at $2/M Input Tokens, Targeting Coding and Cybersecurity
heiga_zen · x · 2026-10-01
Google DeepMind announced Gemini 4 Argon, a frontier model built to sustain deep reasoning across long, complex workflows in real-world software engineering, enterprise knowledge work (legal/finance), and cybersecurity.
- Staged rollout: initially via the Fairwind Program for trusted cybersecurity practitioners, with participation in the US government's voluntary pre-access process before wider developer and consumer availability.
- Pricing: $2 per million input tokens, $10 per million output tokens, cached inputs 95% off.
- Internal use: thousands of Googlers use it for coding, research, and writing; one case involved optimizing spacetime resources (qubits × gates) for quantum algorithm subroutines.
