Google makes Gemini 4 AI model available to a trusted few

Summary

Google has released Gemini 4 Argon to a limited set of trusted cyber defenders through its Fairwind Program, citing the US government's voluntary process for early model access. Argon raises the output limit from 64,000 to 1 million tokens and is introductorily priced at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens. Benchmark results are mixed, and analyst Pareekh Jain cautions the scores are hints rather than proof.
