Gemini 4 Argon's introductory price is $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens through November 30, below the $4/$20 rate the article says Anthropic and Meta set, with standard pricing of $4/$20 starting December 1. Argon launched September 30 for over 650 vetted cyber defenders under the Fairwind Program, then opened on October 13 to developers, businesses and consumers via the Gemini API, Google AI Studio and the Gemini app, with cached input tokens about $0.10 per million during the promotion. On the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.3.2, Argon scores 56, tied with Claude Sonnet 5.5 Max and Claude Opus 5.5 Xhigh, while Claude Opus 5.5 Max leads at 58. The article notes Google published no accompanying research blog post and argues that as benchmark scores converge, price and ecosystem lock-in will decide the competition.
