How we price

Order

Providers are listed cheapest input rate first, then by output rate, a tie going to the creator's own listing. A provider that lists the model without a published rate sits at the end.

Prices

Base-tier, on-demand rates in USD per 1M tokens, converted at ECB reference rates where a provider publishes in another currency. Cached-input and batch rates show only where a provider publishes them. "Cheapest" marks the one provider with the lowest input and output pair; a tie wears no badge.

Cost

Input rate times the input tokens plus output rate times the output tokens, at the monthly volume set above the table. Cached-input, batch, long-context and reasoning-token billing are not modelled.

Transparency and funding

Heads up: Base-tier, on-demand rates per 1M tokens; cached, batch and long-context tiers excluded. A provider may serve a shorter context or a quantized build than the creator's release. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.

Common questions

What is Gemini 4 Argon good for?

Software engineering, long multi-step tasks and enterprise knowledge work such as legal and finance. Google also built it for cybersecurity defense, including vulnerability patching.

When is Gemini 4 Argon not a good fit?

General use for now: Google is rolling it out first to cyber defenders in its Fairwind Program, with paid API access to follow. Closed weights, so no self-hosting.

What is the cheapest way to run Gemini 4 Argon?

The cheapest hosted rate is $2.00 / $10.00 per 1M tokens via Google Cloud.

Can I self-host Gemini 4 Argon?

No. Google Cloud does not publish the weights; Gemini 4 Argon is available only through hosted APIs.
