Elliot 艾略特(@ElliotChen):Honestly, I can't wait for Google to be back in the frontier race for real. Gemini 4 Argon is the first real shot in a while that isn't another Flash update. The spec I care about most: output limit went from 64K to 1M tokens. That's not a chat feature. That's for agents that run long jobs and need to write a whole codebase or a full report in one go without stitching. It's also launching to cyber defenders first, with the cyber guardrails off for them, before developers get it. Pricing is aggressive too, $2 in and $10 out per million tokens for now. But Argon? Every time I read it I see Drogon from Game of Thrones. Close enough to sound like a dragon, and it turns out to be a noble gas. Google, you had one job. Give us the dragon.

Lots of discussion out there about our next model(!), so I wanted to give an early look as soon as possible. Introducing Gemini 4 Argon! It shows frontier performance in complex workflows, cyber defense and software engineering. Teams are using it extensively at Google, from coding to quantum computing, great feedback. Here’s a look at the benchmarks:
