Google lists gemini-4-argon on the contributor tier at $1.00 input / $5.00 output through November 30, 2026, stepping to $2.00 / $10.00 starting December 1, 2026
Two new contributor-tier price rows for gemini-4-argon: an introductory window (input $1.00, cached_input $0.05, output $5.00 through November 30, 2026) and the scheduled price from December 1, 2026 (input $2.00, cached_input $0.10, output $10.00). The price is set to step up on input, cached input and output once the window closes, so anyone sizing Google API revenue per token should treat the current rate as a promotion, not the list price. Implicit caching only (explicit caching is not supported).
