Google DeepMind releases Gemini 4 Argon model
What happened
2026年10月1日，Google DeepMind发布前沿模型Gemini 4 Argon。官方发布称，该模型先向Fairwind Program的可信网络防御方开放，后续面向开发者、企业和消费者推出，起步价为每百万输入token 2美元、每百万输出token 10美元。同日The Decoder报道称，该模型在部分基准上超过OpenAI和Anthropic竞品但未取得明显领先，先面向Fairwind计划的“可信网络防御者”和Google内部团队开放，之后才向开发者、企业和消费者推出，尚未公布日期，并提到缓存输入便宜95%。Latent Space报道称，该模型面向编码、企业知识工作与网络防御，支持100万输出token，先在Fairwind Program的政府用户和可信网络防御者中开放。开放对象表述存在差异：官方称先向可信网络防御方开放，Latent Space称先向政府用户和可信网络防御者开放。TechCrunch报道称，Alphabet称其为迄今最强模型，可处理编码、研究和写作等任务，并专门针对防御性网络安全训练，能自主发现、验证和修补关键软件漏洞。
