Gemini 4 Pro / Flash: benchmarks, hands-on tests and leaks

A user shows Gemini 4 Argon running a 3D task through Blender MCP inside the Antigravity app, noting the run was still going.

Post claims Gemini 4 Argon burned nearly 25 trillion tokens in its first 72 hours, 3x the prior generation, pushing Google compute to rate limits, and beat Minecraft on under $2,000 of compute.

A user says Gemini 4 Argon (high setting) simulated that AI progress pulls the Kardashev Type I milestone 140 years earlier, with yearly civilization-level forecasts through 2100.

A user praises Gemini 4 Carbon in Arena, wants it in Antigravity, and says Arena's weak harness makes Opus 5.5 comparisons unfair.

A user reports testing Gemini 4 Argon to build a 3D Gothic cathedral from a single image, using the post to seek mutual follows.

A user shares a new AI stack—Meta AI for chatting, Muse AI for agentic work, and Gemini 4 Argon for coding—after cancelling ChatGPT and Claude subscriptions.

A Japanese humor post personifies Gemini 4 Argon and jokes that it needs rescuing when it gets weak.

LuminaBench's 3D helicopter test: Carbon finished in Arena in just over 30 minutes, Opus 5.5 took 55 minutes in Claude Code.

A Japanese VoiSona creator says Gemini 4 Argon's vocal blend for the Amagai voice still falls slightly short, so manual tuning is needed before going fully Amagai.

LuminaBench generated a 3D helicopter with Gemini 4 Carbon in Arena in about 30 minutes, calling its 3D and engineering understanding clearly ahead of Kimi K3.1 Pro and Qwen 4, with an Opus 5.5 comparison coming.

The post says building on Gemini 4 Argon gets twice as expensive on Dec 1 at $4/$20 per million tokens, while Kimi K3.1 Pro goes open weights Nov 4.

A video compares Kimi K3.1, Opus 5.5, Gemini 4 Argon and GPT-6 Astra to see which performs better.
