Artificial Analysis scores Gemini 4 Argon at 53, level with GPT-6 Astra, at about 60% of the cost per task

The independent evaluator Artificial Analysis gave Argon an Intelligence Index score of 53. That matches GPT-6 Astra, and it costs $1.99 per task to run the index, about 60% of Astra's cost. That figure uses the 50%-off launch price, so at standard pricing it rises to $3.98 per task. Argon produced 110 million output tokens while running the index, against a median of 82 million, so it is on the wordy side.

Its hallucination rate is 15%, reportedly the lowest among models scoring 45 or higher on the index. Vals AI said Argon took first place on the Vals Index at 68.9%, the first time a Gemini model has topped it, and Argon is now available on Design Arena.
