Gemini 4 Argon
It is live in the API and Gemini app, but the advertised 95% cache discount gave users zero cache hits, and many Pro and Business subscribers still can't use it in Antigravity.

“Today, we’re rolling out Gemini 4 Argon directly inside Google Antigravity for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers — available in the Antigravity desktop app and the Antigravity CLI.”~ Mixed
“The model launches today at an introductory price of $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens (with cached input tokens at 95% off).”✗ Fails
“Its depth and precision across multi-step tasks leads Argon to outperform other frontier models on benchmarks across domains, ranking #1 on the Vals Index”? Unclear
Both stamps come from the public user reports linked on each receipt, under the same method. Verdicts are opinion and are never paid for.
