Gemini 4 Argon matches GPT-6 Astra on intelligence index at lower cost
Original titleGemini 4 Argon: Google is back as one of the top three labs in intelligence achieved
Artificial Analysis reports that Google's Gemini 4 Argon scores 53 on its Intelligence Index with high reasoning, matching GPT-6 Astra (max) and one point ahead of GPT-6.1 Sol (max).
At the current 50% launch discount, its cost per task is $1.99, about 60% of GPT-6 Astra's $3.26, but the discount's end date is unconfirmed and standard pricing would raise it to $3.98.
The model is being rolled out to selected users and is not publicly available.
The benchmark compares Gemini 4 Argon's cost per task and hallucination rate with GPT-6 Astra, showing where its value depends on a temporary 50% discount.
