Google Cloud billing shows a Gemini 4 Argon Contributor tier
A billing listing shows a Contributor tier priced at $2 per million input tokens, $0.10 cached and $10 output, the same as regular Argon, prompting the poster to ask why contributing data isn't cheaper.

WAIT WHAT 💀 we now have a Gemini 4 Argon Contributor listing in Google Cloud billing too? > $2/M input > $0.10/M cached > $10/M output these are the same prices as regular Argon but what the hell is this "Contributor" tier supposed to be? and if we're actually contributing data to improve Argon, shouldn't it be cheaper?
