Google announces Gemini 4 Argon, starting with vetted cyber defenders before a wider release

Google announced Gemini 4 Argon, its new frontier model, rolling out first to "trusted cyber defenders" through its Fairwind Program while it takes part in the U.S. government’s voluntary pre-release access process. Google says wider availability will follow; introductory pricing is $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output.
