Google Unveils Gemini 4 Argon AI Model

Google unveiled Gemini 4 Argon, its latest flagship AI model, for complex software engineering, enterprise knowledge work and cybersecurity. It is being tested by Google and trusted cyber defenders, with broader access planned after further safety testing and work on safeguards against misuse and unintended behavior. Google announced introductory API prices of $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens. The company says Argon leads or ties rivals on several benchmarks, though competitors remain ahead in some areas; Alphabet shares rose about 1.7% in after-hours trading after the announcement.
