Google is rolling out Gemini 4 Argon to AI Pro subscribers in the Gemini app, where it was Ultra-only. Antigravity's own desktop app and CLI still require Ultra, 9to5Google reported.

buildConfirmed2 publishers Google is rolling out Gemini 4 Argon broadly and says it solved all 12 simulated end-to-end cyberattack scenarios, up from five. Every figure comes from Google's own post, and the foundational vulnerabilities it cites are still in responsible disclosure.

buildOne report1 publisher Google gives Gemini 4 Argon to vetted cyber defenders before paid API customers
Google DeepMind's Gemini 4 Argon, priced at half of Claude Opus 5.5, goes first to vetted cyber defenders, and paid API customers have no date. Until Google sets one, teams can only check its benchmark claims on paper.

buildConfirmed2 publishers Google announced Gemini 4 Argon, its first Gemini 4 model, with early access limited to internal teams and vetted cyber defenders in its Fairwind program. The published API price doubles once an introductory window closes. Teams cannot yet test the coding and long-output claims they would budget around, because there is no public access.

Google priced Gemini 4 Argon at half Claude Opus 5.5's per-token rate for a model one composite index ranks third, behind two Anthropic models. On price alone it only matches OpenAI's newly discounted GPT-6.1 Sol, so the price edge Google is selling is against Anthropic.

buildOne report1 publisher Gemini 4 Argon's per-task bill doubles when Google's launch discount ends
Google is charging $2 and $10 per million input and output tokens for Gemini 4 Argon at launch, half the $4 and $20 it will charge later. For a model that writes long answers and is open only to vetted cyber defenders, cost per task is the figure to check before switching.

Google will give vetted defenders and its own teams a Gemini 4 Argon build with no cyber guardrails, saying the model finds and patches critical flaws unaided. Wiz is the first named outside user, and the bug-finding evidence published so far comes from Google's own internal tests.

Google is releasing Gemini 4 Argon, which it says can autonomously find and patch software flaws, only to select partners in its Fairwind program. Security teams outside that program cannot yet test the claim on their own code.

Google's Gemini 4 Argon tied GPT-6 Astra and Claude Fable 5.1 at 53 on the Artificial Analysis index, though some Google staff say its coding lags. Google disputes them, and until paid API access has a date, buyers cannot check the score on their own code.

Google's Gemini 4 Argon matches GPT-6.1 Sol's $2/$10 token price but costs 2.7 times as much per task, according to Artificial Analysis. Argon uses more tokens per job, so buyers still have to compare frontier models by cost per completed task.

buildOne report1 publisher Gemini 3.8 Flash beats partner-only Argon for anything shipping this quarter
Google prices Gemini 3.8 Flash at $0.75/$3.75 per million input/output tokens through 2026, three-eighths of what partner-only Gemini 4 Argon costs. Building on Flash now works if the later Argon swap moves the thinking settings along with the model name.
