Google DeepMind Unveils Gemini 4 Argon with 1M Output Tokens for Coding, Knowledge Work and Cyber Defense
Google DeepMind has just announced Gemini 4 Argon, its new frontier model and the first model of the Gemini 4 generation. It targets long-horizon software engineering, enterprise knowledge work in legal and finance, and cybersecurity defense. The biggest technical change is output length. Argon can generate up to 1M tokens in a single response, up from 64K on earlier Gemini models.

Google DeepMind announced a new AI model called Gemini 4 Argon designed for software engineering, enterprise knowledge work, and cybersecurity defense. The model's defining feature is its ability to generate up to 1 million output tokens in a single response, compared to 128 thousand tokens from competing models. This larger output capacity allows developers to complete large code refactors or generate lengthy reports without breaking work across multiple requests. The model is currently available only through a limited program with cyber defenders and the U.S. government, with introductory pricing at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens.

OpenAI Releases GPT-6.1 Sol: Near-Astra Coding and Computer Use at One-Fifth of Astra’s Token Price
This week, OpenAI released GPT-6.1 Sol. It upgrades GPT-6 Sol, the mid-tier model in the GPT-6 family. OpenAI’s claim is specific: near-Astra results on agentic coding, computer use, and professional work. The price is one-fifth of GPT-6 Astra’s standard input and output rates. Cached input drops to $0.10 per million tokens, 50% below GPT-6 Sol. Is it deployable? Yes, as a hosted model. It is live today in the OpenAI API as gpt-6.1-sol, and in ChatGPT Work and Codex.
