Google has shown Gemini 4 Argon, a new AI model that is claimed to compete with Astra, Fable and the new opus. The model is currently available in closed preview, with a full release promised «soon». Initial access is limited to Ultra subscribers and API users.
- Pro subscribers can use the model only in chat.
- Access in Antigravity and AI Studio is available only to Ultra subscribers ($100/$200) and customers paying for API access.
- API pricing is $2/$10 per million tokens until the end of November, after which it doubles to $4/$20.
Because this is a closed early-access release, the full picture of performance, limits and API stability will become clearer after the official launch.
Why it matters
AnalysisThe release signals intensified competition among frontier AI models and shows how early-access tiers and token pricing shape developer adoption.
