[DEVELOPING] Google announces Gemini 4 Argon, limited to Fairwind cyber-defenders first; Citi lifts GOOGL target to $447
Google announced Gemini 4 Argon on Sep 30, its first flagship since Gemini 3.1 Pro in February, with a 1M-token output limit and introductory pricing of $2/$10 per million tokens (rising to $4/$20 later), available initially only to Fairwind cyber-defenders with no general-availability date; VentureBeat reports it retakes the benchmark lead over OpenAI and Anthropic. Citi (Josey) said the launch removes a key overhang and set a $447 target on 10-01; GOOGL closed $343.50 (+1.56%) Friday after a -1.70% session on 10-01 tied to the SDNY ad-tech ruling. Watch the GA date and whether Bloomberg's reported internal skepticism shows up in the Oct 28 print.
