  "body": "# BankrBot launches Google Gemini 4 Argon on its LLM gateway\n\n*BankrBot added Google’s Gemini 4 Argon model to its LLM gateway, offering single-key access and cryptocurrency payment.*\n\n**October 13, 2026.** BankrBot announced that Google’s Gemini 4 Argon model is now live on the Bankr LLM gateway. The model supports 1 million tokens of context and can be accessed with a single API key, according to a post on X at 18:38 UTC.\n\nThe gateway allows payment in any cryptocurrency stored in a user’s wallet, per the announcement. BankrBot provided links to its [chat interface](https://bankr.bot/terminal/chat) and [LLM gateway page](https://bankr.bot/llm) in the post.\n\nAccording to the company’s documentation, the Bankr LLM gateway routes requests through multiple providers per model and implements automatic failover if a provider returns an error or hits capacity limits. The gateway supports models from Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, xAI, Z.ai, DeepSeek, MiniMax, Moonshot AI, and Alibaba. It also offers a private mode, which appends \":private\" to a model ID and routes requests through a hardware-secured enclave verified on each call.\n\nAccording to the documentation, the gateway works with OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs without code changes and integrates with tools including Claude Code and Cursor. New accounts start with $0 in credits, and requests are rejected until credits are added.\n\nBankr added Claude Opus 5.5 to the gateway on September 22, 2026. On October 1, 2026, the company said a token’s launch fees could fund the AI model calls its agents make, describing the mechanism as \"your coin pays for your agent's brain.\"\n\nThe gateway also accepts USDC, USDT, ETH, and other ERC-20 tokens, and usage can be funded from a Bankr wallet balance. For data handling, the documentation says requests routed through OpenRouter include a setting instructing it not to route to hosts that store or train on prompts, though this applies only to that hop; upstream providers’ policies still govern the request.\n\nBankrBot is an AI agent framework built on Bankr, a platform that distributes 95% of a 0.7% pool swap fee, or 0.665% of trading volume, to token creators. Creators can claim fees at any time, and the platform vests 15% of token supply to creators over one year with a 30-day cliff. Bankr enforces a 2% wallet cap for the first five minutes after launch.\n\nThe Bankr LLM gateway is accessible through the [Bankr terminal](https://bankr.bot/terminal/chat) and the [LLM gateway page](https://bankr.bot/llm).",
