Google announced Gemini 4 Argon on September 30, starting its rollout with trusted cyber defenders through the Fairwind Program. General availability for consumers and developers has not yet been announced.
Longer outputs and introductory pricing
Google says the model supports up to one million output tokens, compared with 64,000 for earlier models. It describes uses in software engineering, enterprise work and defensive cybersecurity.
Announced introductory API rates are US$2 per million input tokens and US$10 per million output tokens. Google says these will rise to US$4 and US$20 after the introductory period.
Testing before wider release
Google is gathering feedback and strengthening safeguards before broader access, planned to begin with paid API customers and Google AI Ultra subscribers.
The company reports gains on coding and cybersecurity evaluations. Those benchmark claims describe particular test settings and should not be treated as guarantees of reliability across every business workflow.
