[AINews] Gemini 4 Argon: GDM’s answer to Astra/Fable, with 1M output latent.space

Google DeepMind introduced Gemini 4 Argon, a frontier AI model for coding, enterprise work, and cybersecurity with state-of-the-art performance on 13 of 19 benchmarks and an industry-leading 1M-token output limit, though it is currently available only to government users and trusted cyber defenders in the Fairwind Program. The model is priced at $4/$20 per million input/output tokens with a 50% introductory discount, and internal tests show it outperforms competitors like GPT-6 Astra and Claude Opus 5.5 on tasks like code migration and software engineering challenges.
