Gemini 4 Argon: Google's New Flagship Model, Price and Access

What this means for you

If you pay for Google AI Pro or Ultra, Argon is already in the Gemini app and AI Mode in Search, with more direct answers. Free and AI Plus users stay on the Flash models.

What Gemini 4 Argon is

Google pitches Argon at hard, long jobs: finance, software engineering, coding, creative writing and cybersecurity defense.

Who gets it, and what it costs

Consumer access is limited for now. Free and AI Plus users only get the lighter Flash models under Google's new tier structure, as The Decoder puts it.

How it compares

Google says Argon ranks first on the Vals Index, which covers finance, coding, legal and tax work, and scored 87% on ERQA, a test of reasoning about the physical world.

Should you switch?

If you already pay for Pro or Ultra, try Argon on the jobs where the old model let you down: long documents, spreadsheets and code.
