Google launches Gemini 4 Argon model, matching OpenAI on price and benchmarks
Google released Gemini 4 Argon, which the company says improves coding, cybersecurity and complex-task performance, matching OpenAI's cybersecurity benchmark scores and leading on software engineering tests. Its launch pricing of $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens mirrors OpenAI's discounted GPT-6.1 Sol model. The release comes as Meta's Muse app and OpenAI's new Dots personal agent draw heavy consumer attention, while Anthropic's CEO has called for slower AI development pace.
