Google DeepMind has unveiled Gemini 4 Argon, describing it as its latest frontier model and making it available globally starting today. The company said the model is aimed at developers, enterprises, scientists, and consumers, and is positioned for "deep work" on complex, real-world tasks across coding, finance, legal, cybersecurity, and science.
According to Google, Argon's depth and precision on multi-step tasks allow it to outperform other frontier models on benchmarks across domains, ranking first on the Vals Index, which measures model performance across critical economic sectors such as finance, coding, legal, and tax work. The model launches at an introductory price of $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, with cached input tokens discounted by 95%.
Access is being rolled out through several channels: the API in AI Studio and the Gemini platform for developers and enterprises, Google Antigravity for Google AI Ultra subscribers, and the Gemini app and AI Mode in Search for Google AI Ultra and Pro subscribers.
Google cited internal and early-access results across engineering and science. It said Argon in Antigravity helped teams increase agentic code submissions by more than 35% while reducing code rollbacks by nearly a third, and that the Chrome team used it to separate core webpage handling from a roughly 6 million-line legacy folder inside Chromium's 40 million-line codebase, completing months of work in weeks. Other examples include a 40% cut in in-memory session prep time and a 21% speedup in cold imports for Google's open-source Agent Development Kit, a 2.3x speedup for the xTB quantum chemistry package, and a 2.85x end-to-end inference speedup on Gemma 4 E2B via vLLM.
The company also highlighted Argon's visual and multimodal capabilities, including 3D visualizations, game prototyping, and document comprehension. It said enterprise and startup early-access customers are seeing strong results, and that Isomorphic Labs is using the model to synthesize complex PDFs and patents, reducing a process that typically takes weeks into hours.
On security, Google said it is beginning expansion to hundreds of additional Fairwind Program partners, and that Wiz is already using Argon for its "Scan for Good" initiative, which protects critical infrastructure for the public good and for free.
