Google Launches Gemini 4 Argon for Global Developers and Enterprises

It provides a single shared 1,048,576‑token context window that lets the model generate very long outputs.

Overview

  • Gemini 4 Argon is available worldwide through AI Studio, the Gemini API and eligible Google AI subscriptions for developers and companies.
  • Google is offering limited introductory per‑million‑token pricing for inputs, outputs and cached inputs that will rise after the promotional period ends.
  • The model uses one shared 1,048,576‑token context window for input, internal reasoning and decoded output to support extended multi‑step tasks.
  • Early adopters include Google’s Chrome engineering team, which used Argon for large codebase refactors and open‑source performance gains, and expanded security partners using it to find and fix vulnerabilities.
  • Google says Argon tops the Vals Index in key economic domains and that layered safety measures cut harmful‑request violations by about half compared with the prior Gemini generation.
