Gemini 4 Argon is claimed to be 2–3 times cheaper than other frontier models for almost the same ML engineering performance

The author of the AutoResearchExam comparison says Gemini 4 Argon is 2–3 times cheaper than other frontier models for almost the same ML engineering performance. They say they added it to their Pareto curve; another poster describes the comparison as frontier ML engineering at one-third the cost and praises the Google DeepMind team.
