Gemini 4 Argon API Pricing
Compare prices from 11 providers, including 1 official. 10 price sources are collected automatically.
Google Standard introductory rates through 2026-11-30: USD 2 input, USD 10 output and USD 0.10 implicit cache reads per million tokens. Announced rates from 2026-12-01 are USD 4/20/0.20. Batch, Flex and Priority are separate; tools cost extra. Check quote timestamps and each provider’s terms.
The 1,048,576-token window is shared by input, thinking and output. Ordinary synchronous output is capped at 65,536 tokens; longer decode needs background execution or continuation. Text, image, audio, video and PDF inputs produce text, not images or video. Live API and explicit caching are unsupported; implicit caching is supported.
Google supports Interactions and GenerateContent. Verify each channel’s OpenAI compatibility, tool support and context limits separately. A collected quote is not a successful inference test.
