Argon will launch at an introductory price of $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, with cached input tokens priced at 95% off input token price. Wow
5x cheaper than Astra for input and output, 10x cheaper for cached input.
That's before they integrate a Jev solution, which should lower agentic workflow costs by ~40% and increase speeds by ~40%, while also increasing quality.
Everyone will be adding this soon, though I won't be surprised if Google is one of the first - and I'll be shocked if we have to wait more than a month and a half.
> After the introductory period expires, the price of $4 per 1M input tokens and $20 per 1M output tokens will apply.
