MOUNTAIN VIEW - The National Bureau of Cleared Fairwinds will not seat Gemini 4 Argon for defender filing until a laminated FAIRWIND badge hangs overnight on the duty window and a manila packet stamped WITHOUT GUARDRAILS sits in the DEFENDERS ONLY tray. Packets that ask for an open public seat return as notes. "The badge is on the window when the night log closes, and the packet is in the tray when the morning count starts," a duty clerk said. Google announced Argon on 1 October 2026 as a frontier model for deep reasoning in coding and cyber defense. Rollout starts through the Fairwind Program for governments and trusted cyber-defense partners. Google plans a version without cyber guardrails for trusted defenders and internal teams. Broader access for paid API customers and Google AI Ultra comes later. Introductory API pricing was cited at $2 and $10 per million tokens. Artificial Analysis said Argon matched GPT-6 Astra on its Intelligence Index at about 60 percent of Astra's cost per task at discounted prices. The firm reported a 15 percent hallucination rate for Argon and higher rates for some other models. The bureau said clerks hang the badge at the close of the 1 October shift.
