Google announced Gemini 4 Argon on Sep 30, 2026 for a set of trusted cyber defenders, saying consumer access would start with paid API customers and Google AI Ultra subscribers. On Oct 13 it opened Argon to Google AI Pro and Ultra in the Gemini app and in Google Antigravity.
Google publishes no separate limit for Argon. Gemini app limits are compute-based: they refresh every 5 hours up to a weekly limit, and you can extend them by buying AI credits.
Businesses get Argon through the API in the Gemini platform and in Antigravity on eligible Gemini Enterprise subscriptions; this page covers personal plans.
