Google 向付费用户开放 Gemini 4 Argon，Vals AI 专业任务指数登顶
Google opened Gemini 4 Argon to paying customers, and it already leads Vals AI’s index of professional work.
Google 将 Gemini 4 Argon 开放给付费客户，此前自 9 月 30 日亮相以来仅限 Google 内部团队、美国政府、经审核的网络安全方和早期访问伙伴使用。其输出上下文窗口达 100 万 token，API 入门价每 100 万输入/输出 token 为 2 美元和 10 美元，11 月 30 日后翻倍至 4 美元和 20 美元。在 Vals AI 按美国各行业 GDP 占比加权的专业工作指数上，Argon 得分 68.90%，高于 Claude Sonnet 5.5 的 67.04% 和 Claude Opus 5.5 的 66.97%，平均每次测试耗时不到 47 分钟、成本 15.68 美元，而 Sonnet 5.5 为 1 小时 18 分钟和 21.34 美元。

Google opened Gemini 4 Argon to paying customers, and it already leads Vals AI’s index of professional work.
Since its September 30 unveiling, Argon had been limited to Google teams, the US government, vetted cyber defenders and early-access partners.
One of its big deal is the 1 mn token output context window.
Its introductory API price of $2/$10 per 1M input/output tokens doubles to $4 and $20 after November 30.
Google ties Argon’s longer runs to a 1M-token budget shared by input and output, while Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview capped output at 64K tokens.
Vals AI’s index weights agentic finance, coding, legal and tax tasks by each sector’s share of US GDP, using 6 private benchmarks and 2 public ones.
Argon scored 68.90% there, ahead of Claude Sonnet 5.5 at 67.04% and Claude Opus 5.5 at 66.97%.
It also ran faster and cheaper, averaging under 47 minutes and $15.68 per test against 1 hour 18 minutes and $21.34 for Sonnet 5.5.
Vals priced Argon at the $4 and $20 standard rate Opus 5.5 also charges, yet Opus cost $32.14 per test.
Argon’s cost edge therefore comes from using fewer than half Opus’s input tokens, so it should survive the end of the discount.
