Google unveils latest AI model, but Wall Street wants a breakout personal agent

Summary

Google unveiled Gemini 4 Argon, which it says advances coding, cybersecurity and complex tasks, and which ties OpenAI on a key cybersecurity benchmark according to industry tests. Argon's introductory pricing is $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, matching OpenAI's discounted GPT-6.1 Sol. Investors are focusing on personal agents, where Google's Spark remains limited to paying subscribers while Meta's free Muse app has reached more than 5 million downloads.
