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

A user argues that benchmarking Gemini 4 Argon via Gemini CLI instead of Antigravity makes the results untrustworthy.

A breaking-news post says Gemini 4 Argon is designed for complex tasks across coding, science, finance, law and cybersecurity, framing AI as moving beyond simple answers.

A rumor says Google is at code red as DeepSeek V4.1 Flash nears Argon's performance, with Gemini 4 Flash possibly launching tomorrow and an unshown 'Carbon' mentioned.

A user pairs Gemini 4 Argon with an Ableton Live MCP setup to produce a beat, then fuses it with someone else's SUNO rap for a music contest.

The post argues Claude ruled for six months until Gemini 4 Argon arrived, asking whether Claude's lead is now over.

A user argues Gemini 4 Argon's code, despite flaws, is far more readable than what GPT-6.1 Sol or GPT-6 Astra produce.

One-shot AGI Pelican task: Gemini 4 Argon High took 28 minutes and 3.35M tokens, while GPT 6.1 Sol finished in 12 minutes with 314K tokens; DeepSeek V4.1 and Opus 5.5 took about an hour and 52 minutes.

A blogger notes DeepSeek V4.1 Flash-1017, a lightweight model, is being pitted against Opus 5.5, Gemini 4 Argon and GPT-6 Astra.

DeepMind's Oct 13 video says Gemini 4 Argon watched cornhole footage, built a physics sim and drove Apptronik's Apollo 2 to seven straight shots, but no attempt count is given, so the author calls it a highlight not a rate.

The author gave DeepSeek V4.1 Flash and Gemini 4 Argon the same one-shot task: Argon took about 10 minutes and 2% of weekly quota, V4.1 Flash about 4 minutes and free, but he still rates it below Argon.

On a coding-agent benchmark spanning 11 unfamiliar ML and data-analysis tasks, Gemini 4 Argon places fifth at 0.202 while GPT-6 Astra leads at 0.422.
