   Google releases Gemini 4 Argon for complex professional work

   Google released Gemini 4 Argon on October 19, saying it is available through the Gemini API to global developers and enterprises and to Google AI subscribers in Google Antigravity, the Gemini App and AI Mode in Search. Launch pricing is $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, with a 95% discount on cached input tokens. Google says Argon leads other frontier models on benchmarks for coding, finance, legal, cybersecurity and science, including first place on the Vals index and 87% on the ERQA embodied-reasoning benchmark; those benchmark and productivity figures are vendor-reported.

   Google limits Gemini model choice, gates Argon to Fairwind

   Google is tightening control over which Gemini models users can pick. Its flagship Gemini 4 Argon, which replaces the cancelled Gemini 3.5 Pro, is limited to the 650-plus members of the Fairwind program; it has no public API, raises output to 1 million tokens from 64,000, and is priced at an introductory $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens before returning to $4 and $20. Google-reported scores include 77.9% on DeepSWE v1.1, 91.7% on LVBench, 51.3% on Zapier's AutomationBench and 68% on CWE-bench v1, tied with GPT-6 Astra; all figures come from Google's own testing and cannot be independently reproduced. From October 9, non-subscribing personal accounts see only an Auto option in the Gemini app, defaulting to Flash-Lite, while on October 8 Google Cloud launched the enterprise-focused Gemini agent, which gets its own Workspace account and email. In contrast, Google loosened several low-compute features, including Skills, Guided Vision and the open EmbeddingGemma 2 embedding model.
