Google launches flagship AI model Gemini 4 Argon for developers, businesses

The model is available to Pro and Ultra subscribers and developers, with introductory pricing set at $2 per million input tokens, Google said.

  • On Tuesday, Google released Gemini 4 Argon, its new flagship AI model, to Pro and Ultra subscribers in the Gemini app and through the Gemini API.
  • Seeking to reassert itself in the frontier AI race after skipping Gemini 3.5 Pro, Google developed Argon through internal testing with more than 100,000 employees using Antigravity.
  • Artificial Analysis data shows Argon matches OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra on the Intelligence Index at 60 percent of the cost, while internal tests showed 35 percent higher AI-generated code production.
  • Developers can access Argon via the Gemini API at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens through November 30, 2026.
  • After November 30, rates rise to $4 and $20 per million tokens, while Google deploys safety monitors tracking reasoning to block unintended model workarounds.
