Alphabet’s Google on Wednesday released its flagship AI model Gemini 4 Argon to developers and businesses worldwide, seeking to regain ground against rivals OpenAI and Anthropic after months of delays and a leadership shakeup at its DeepMind lab.
\n\nThe model excels at ”deep work” on complex, multi-step tasks in coding, finance, law, cybersecurity and science, Google said. API pricing at launch starts at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, with rates set to double after November 30.
\n\nThe release follows a rocky stretch in Google’s AI efforts. The company announced in September that it no longer planned to release Gemini 3.5 Pro, which CEO Sundar Pichai had originally said would be released in June.
\n\nIt also overhauled DeepMind after the AI lab’s co-founder and CEO Demis Hassabis stepped aside and several leaders of its Gemini model left the company.
\n\nArgon is available to paying customers through the company’s AI application building tools. Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers can access it through the Gemini app and AI Mode in Search, while the Antigravity coding tool is limited to Ultra subscribers.
