Google's flagship reasoning model for complex software engineering, deep math and science, and long-horizon autonomous agents
Gemini 4 Argon by google is offered by 19 providers on this page. Its official list price is $2.00 per 1M input tokens and $10.00 per 1M output tokens. The lowest paid channel is NanoGPT at $2.00 / $10.00 per 1M, about 2.0× below the list price. That channel is a third-party gateway, so confirm its availability and rate limits before depending on it.
Artificial Analysis rates it 52.6 on the Intelligence Index. Against its lowest blended price of $4.00 per 1M, that is roughly 13 index points per dollar, which is the value ratio the leaderboards rank on. Running one task of the Artificial Analysis suite costs about $1.9903, which reflects how many tokens its reasoning consumes rather than the unit price alone.
The context window is 1,048,576 tokens at the reference host, but hosts report different limits, from 1,000,000 to 1,048,576, so the usable window depends on the provider you pick. It supports reasoning, tool use, and structured output. Accepted input modalities are Text, Image, Video, Audio, and PDF. Its training knowledge cuts off at 2026-03.
Quality is independently evaluated by Artificial Analysis. Speed/latency are model-level medians.

Audio tokens are priced on a separate scale from text tokens, so these are not comparable with the text prices above. The multiplier compares each price with the same provider's text price for the same direction.
Price history accumulates from each data sync; currently only 1 sample(s) (2026-10-14). Each future sync adds a point, and once accumulated a line is drawn here.
