- ◆Gemini 4 Argon model brings advanced reasoning to complex, long-horizon professional tasks.
- ◆The model features an industry-leading 1 million token limit for deep, multi-step problem solving.
- ◆It excels at coding, financial research, legal drafting, and autonomous cybersecurity vulnerability patching.
- ◆Argon is currently rolling out to trusted cyber defenders through the Fairwind Program.
- ◆Google is prioritising safety and rigorous testing before a wider release to the public.
Google has launched its new flagship frontier AI model Gemini 4 Argon but only a set of trusted cyber defenders through will get access to it through the Fairwind program. Google says it is actively engaged in the U.S. government’s voluntary process for pre-release model access before wider release as soon as possible.
Gemini 4 Argon comes at an important time for Google as the company battles strong competition from Anthropic and OpenAI. Argon will launch at an introductory price of US$2 per million input tokens and US$10 per million output tokens, with cached input tokens priced at 95% off input token price.
This model is heavily geared towards cyber defence but its all around capabilities are vast as you can see below.
- Coding. Sets a new SOTA score on DeepSWE v1.1 (77.9%), which measures a model’s performance in real-world long-horizon software engineering tasks.
- Knowledge work. Argon is the leading model on the Vals Index, which measures economic impact across finance, coding, legal, and tax work, with every sector weighted by its contribution to U.S. GDP.
- Cyber defence. On the CWE-bench v1, which evaluates the model’s ability to remediate security vulnerabilities, it ties for first place with a top score of 68%.
- Inside Google. Thousands of Googlers are already using Argon across specialised coding and research workflows – from migrating C/C++ codebases to Rust across libraries, to identifying and applying data center memory optimizations estimated to free up over 300 TiB of memory, and more.
Gemini 4 Argo isn’t available to the general public due to a phased roll out by Google.
