Third-party benchmark from Artificial Analysis: Gemini 4 Argon · high. Source checked 2026-10-14.

Artificial Analysis · Gemini 4 Argon · high ↗ Artificial Analysis · Intelligence Index methodology v4.3.2 ↗

Supports low, medium, and high thinking; medium is the API default. The Intelligence Index result shown here is for high thinking.

The 1,048,576-token context is shared by input and output. Default synchronous output is limited to 65,536 tokens; longer output requires long decode.

Accepts text, images, video, audio, and PDF input; generates text. No reviewed output-speed measurement is available for this entry.

Suggested starting role: complex planning. Google positions Argon for complex software engineering, scientific reasoning, and multi-step agents. Evaluate it on your own demanding tasks; the recorded index score uses high thinking rather than the API default. This is editorial guidance, not a benchmark score.
