Google rolls out Gemini 4 Argon broadly after a limited-access window for cyber defenders

Google is rolling out Gemini 4 Argon broadly and says it solved all 12 simulated end-to-end cyberattack scenarios, up from five. Every figure comes from Google's own post, and the foundational vulnerabilities it cites are still in responsible disclosure.

Share of cloud findings left open rose from 41% to 53% in a year, Tamnoon's data shows

Tamnoon's Cloud Remediation Index counts 53% of 14.86 million cloud detections as still open, against 41% a year earlier. Tamnoon sells remediation and is the only source for the figures, so the trend is a vendor's finding.

Gemini 4 Argon's API price doubles when Google's introductory window ends

Google announced Gemini 4 Argon, its first Gemini 4 model, with early access limited to internal teams and vetted cyber defenders in its Fairwind program. The published API price doubles once an introductory window closes. Teams cannot yet test the coding and long-output claims they would budget around, because there is no public access.

Gemini 4 Argon's per-task bill doubles when Google's launch discount ends

Google is charging $2 and $10 per million input and output tokens for Gemini 4 Argon at launch, half the $4 and $20 it will charge later. For a model that writes long answers and is open only to vetted cyber defenders, cost per task is the figure to check before switching.

Google gives vetted defenders a Gemini 4 Argon build without cyber guardrails

Google will give vetted defenders and its own teams a Gemini 4 Argon build with no cyber guardrails, saying the model finds and patches critical flaws unaided. Wiz is the first named outside user, and the bug-finding evidence published so far comes from Google's own internal tests.

Google limits Gemini 4 Argon to select partners in its Fairwind security program

Google is releasing Gemini 4 Argon, which it says can autonomously find and patch software flaws, only to select partners in its Fairwind program. Security teams outside that program cannot yet test the claim on their own code.

Google publishes Gemini 4 Argon's token prices before most teams can call the model

Google priced Gemini 4 Argon at $2 and $10 per million input and output tokens, then released it first to trusted cyber defenders in its Fairwind Program. Teams can budget against those rates now but cannot yet measure the token counts they multiply.

Attackers chained two already-patched Artifactory flaws to take admin and plant backdoor plugins

Attackers chained two self-hosted JFrog Artifactory flaws, both patched more than a month before exploitation, to take admin and install backdoor plugins. Either fix breaks the chain, yet on the published tables only release 7.133.28 closes both.
