Google has released Gemini 4 Argon, a new AI model available globally via AI Studio and the Gemini Platform API, featuring a maximum output length of 1,048,576 tokens.

According to IT Home, the model supports Google Antigravity users and those with Google AI Ultra or Pro subscriptions. Introductory pricing is set at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, with cached input at $0.10.

These rates will double to $4 and $20 respectively after the promotion ends on November 30, 2026.

The report states the model ranks first on the Vals Index for financial, coding, legal, and tax tasks. Google claims it assisted the Chrome team in refactoring tens of millions of lines of code, reducing months of work to weeks, and improved memory session preparation time by 40% in open-source projects.

How it got here

  1. 2026-09-30谷歌官方博客宣布推出Gemini 4 Argon,设定入门价为每百万输入token $2,输出token $10,并启动Fairwind计划向部分可信网络防御者提供访问。
  2. 2026-10-01The Decoder报道指出,Argon在Artificial Analysis智能指数上与GPT-6 Astra持平(53分),但低于Claude Opus 5.5(58分);其低单价优势被高Token消耗抵消,单任务成本约为GPT-6 Astra的60%。
  3. 2026-10-04谷歌调整Gemini个人订阅层级:免费用户仅限Flash-Lite,AI Plus ($4.99) 移除Pro访问权,Pro ($19.99) 及以上方可使用完整模型组合。

What is still unsettled

  • Gemini 4 Argon何时全面向普通消费者开放?目前仅知处于“尽快”阶段,无具体日期。
  • 随着限时优惠结束,Argon的标准定价($4/$20)是否会导致其在企业级市场的竞争力下降?
  • 内部测试中的Carbon版本是否会取代Argon成为下一个公开发布的旗舰模型?
