Google releases Gemini 4 Argon: output up to a million tokens and first places in coding and enterprise benchmarks

Models are taking on ever longer professional tasks, while the price stays moderate.

The output limit grew from 64 thousand to 1 million tokens; 77.9% on DeepSWE v1.1, 51.3% (first place) on AutomationBench, 91.7% on LVBench. Launch pricing is $2 and $10 per million input and output tokens. For now the model is being rolled out to vetted cyber defenders under the Fairwind program, without cyber safeguards; for developers, companies and users, in stages.
