Gemini 4 Argon

Google model generally available since October 13, 2026. It accepts text, images, audio and video and generates text, including code; it does not generate images, audio or video. It uses a MoE architecture and a shared 1,048,576-token window. Robotics applications use this same model, not a separate endpoint.

BEST SUITED FOR

Software engineering, scientific and mathematical analysis, multimodal documents and multi-step agents. It offers three reasoning levels: low, medium and high, with medium as the default. Google publishes examples of spatial reasoning and robot control using tools and simulation. These are not safety guarantees or an autonomous controller ready to deploy without validation.

WORTH MONITORING

Input, thinking and response share one budget: a million tokens does not mean a million additional output tokens. Default output is 65,536 tokens; exceeding it with Interactions requires background execution and an explicit limit. Explicit caching is not supported, and temperature, top_p and top_k are ignored. The model can make mistakes and take several minutes. Its knowledge cutoff is March 2026.

Introductory USD prices per million tokens through November 30, 2026: input 2, output 10 including thinking, and implicit caching 0.10. From December 1 they become 4, 20 and 0.20. Batch and Flex cost half the standard rates; Priority has different prices. Searches incur separate charges after the shared allowance. There is no free tier or access through Google AI Pro. Numeric fields reflect standard and Batch rates in effect when verified.

i Prices change and may depend on level, region or context length. Check the source before making a decision.

05 / EVALUATIONS

How to read the results

“

Results published by Google, not reproduced by Inferama. We retain versions, subsets and conditions: GraphWalks uses F1 and two context ranges; OSWorld 2.0 is a partial score on the offline subset, taking the best of three runs; Chartography and LVBench are evaluated without tools. The methodology uses pass@1 and maximum reasoning unless otherwise stated. ERQA measures physical reasoning, not real-robot reliability. Compare costs, tools and budgets, not just percentages.

Inferama only highlights a “best result” when the metric, test set, configuration, and date allow for an equivalent comparison. The supplier's figures are presented as claims from its own source.
