Google announces Gemini 4 Argon
Google’s new frontier model, Gemini 4 Argon, is built for long, multi-step work: real-world software engineering, enterprise knowledge work such as legal and finance, and cybersecurity defense. It is rolling out first to trusted cyber defenders through Google’s Fairwind Program, with broader access planned for paid API customers and Google AI Ultra subscribers. Introductory API pricing is $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, with cached input at 95% off.
What it means for manufacturers and fabricators
Frontier launches push the ceiling up—and within months the cheaper mid-tier models shops actually leave running for quoting, research and document work usually get better and less expensive too.
