Google released Gemini 4 Argon, a frontier model built to solve hard problems, making it available to developers, enterprises, scientists, and consumers through the Gemini API, the Gemini app, AI Mode in Search, Google Cloud and Antigravity. The model trails Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 and Meta's Muse Wonder Full in independent benchmarks.
Gemini 4 Argon is rolling out in the Gemini app and Antigravity for paying users. Developers get 50 percent discounted API rates through November.
Why it matters: The discounted API rates give developers a temporary cost reduction for using the new model.
