Gemini 4 Argon: restricted preview, broader API access pending
Google initially restricts Argon to trusted cyber defenders in Fairwind while preparing broader safeguards and access.
What changed
- Google announces up to 1M output tokens; this is not a verified input-context limit.
- Arena's September 30 Text board lists Argon high at 1525. Google reports 77.9% on DeepSWE 1.1 using its own evaluation setup.
Best fit
- Evaluating preview results
- Research planning where access is already granted
What to be careful about
- No general API endpoint or current purchasable list price is confirmed. Announced introductory $2/$10 rates, then $4/$20, are future rates.
- Do not rank the vendor DeepSWE figure against Datacurve's independent September 22 board.
