Google DeepMind Launches Gemini 4 Argon with 1M Output
Google DeepMind introduced Gemini 4 Argon, a new frontier model aimed at coding, enterprise knowledge work, and cyber defense. It is currently rolling out to a limited set of trusted testers through the Fairwind Program, including government users and cyber defenders. Argon demonstrates SOTA results in 13 of 19 credible benchmarks, and offers an industry-first 1M-token output via Long Decode Continuation. Pricing is set at $4/$20 per million input/output tokens, with a 50% introductory discount and 95% discount for cached input. Google also claims internal agentic deployments have freed over 300 TiB of memory and are migrating 800K lines of C/C++ code to Rust. Early evaluations show Argon matching GPT-6 Astra on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index (53), but also show higher token usage per task and trade-offs in accuracy vs. hallucination rates.
OpenAI's Measurement Gaps Keep ChatGPT Ads Budgets at Test Level
Seven months after OpenAI began selling ads in ChatGPT, marketers still struggle with measurement, hindering budget scaling. Agencies report discrepancies in conversions and clicks, with Accuracast seeing zero conversions in OpenAI's reporting despite actual form fills, and 100 reported clicks versus its own 20. Reporting latency of 24-36 hours and lack of demographic or prompt data add to frustrations. Many advertisers avoid enabling conversion tracking due to legal concerns about OpenAI's terms and data use, slowing custom audience adoption. OpenAI's conversions API could help but is underutilized. Advertisers like Accuracast and Jellyfish are cautious, with test budgets ranging from £10,000 to £20,000, while independent agencies note some clients spending under $100,000 monthly on ChatGPT compared to $10 million on Google. Third-party measurement via partners like AppsFlyer and Adjust is seen as crucial. OpenAI declined to comment.
Publishers Turn GEO from Experiment into Business
Publishers are increasingly monetizing Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) as a branded content offering, with companies like Future, Ziff Davis, Time, and several European publishers securing clients and revenue. Future's GEO product has over 30 clients and renewals, while Ziff Davis reports multiple clients. Time's offering involves placing brand messages in markdown files read by AI agents, despite Perplexity's initial pushback. Publishers see GEO as a premium opportunity to capitalize on AI-driven discovery, though measurement and longevity remain concerns. The IAB is developing a framework to standardize AI advertising measurement. Publishers are guarded about revenue figures due to competition, but the overall sentiment is optimistic, with GEO perceived as a real commercial opportunity rather than a defensive play.
