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

An Arena comparison video claims Gemini 4 Carbon already outperforms Gemini 4 Argon and makes GPT-6 Astra look outdated.

disclosetv reports Google saying its Gemini 4 Argon model helped discover and mitigate critical security flaws in PHP.

A Russian post says decade-old PHP core vulnerabilities affecting much of the internet were uncovered with help from GPT-5.6 Sol and Gemini 4 Argon, with fixes only for recent versions.

A video shows Gemini 4 Argon generating an exploded teardown of a 1954 Leica M3 in pure SVG: 81 parts, 34 assemblies, per-frame re-shading and sub-frame motion blur.

An investing account argues Google is lagging mega-cap peers because almost no one outside Google picks Argon as their daily driver, and upcoming Anthropic and OpenAI models will pressure it further.

A user reports that Arena appears to route Gemini 4 Argon requests to Gemini 4 Carbon, finding Carbon noticeably better at 3D generation and shading, and suggests testing the difference yourself.

Polymarket reports Google disclosed Gemini 4 Argon handled roughly 25 trillion tokens within three days of launch.

Google shares Wiz's real-world testing showing Gemini 4 Argon found more than twice as many vulnerabilities as baseline models, including a critical risk earlier frontier models missed.

The author believes Gemini 4 Flash is near release and wants to compare it with the newly updated DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 on speed, capability and price balance.

A user says Argon is their go-to for critical review of plans and code, describing it as direct and no-nonsense like a well-intentioned engineer friend.

A news wire relays Google's statement that Gemini 4 Argon contributed to finding the vulnerability, exploit development, attack detection and patch validation, with Google Cloud rolling out updated serverless base images for supported PHP versions.

The poster argues Google's real comeback hinges on Gemini 4 Flash beating deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017 on both pricing and performance, not on Carbon.
