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

The same prompt was given to GPT-6.1 Sol and Gemini 4 Argon to generate videos comparing exponential and power function curves, offering a direct look at both models' output.

India's Jio says users on its 5G plans will get free access to Google's newly launched Gemini 4 Argon.

A user asked Gemini 4 Argon to make a jellybean bounce game, and it finished in under 4 minutes with the entire game written in pure JavaScript.

A screenshot shows Cursor's internal assessment that Gemini 4 Argon codes as well as Opus 5.5 while costing much less.

Less than half a day after Gemini 4 Argon went public, the author collected 11 impressive real-world use cases.

A Chinese video shows Argon writing its own 3D modeling, chess, Gothic cathedral and ray tracing code, and calls the pricing cheap.

The author asks users to pick a side: honestly, Opus 5.5 or Gemini 4 Argon, with a comparison image.

A user says Argon, citing its 91.7% LVBench long-video score, extracted 19 shot timestamps, camera moves and BGM beats from a 1:07 short and exported them to Excel.

A user says Gemini 4 Argon gaming posts are all over their timeline and wants to see whether PlaygroundPad, an onchain gamepad product, integrates it.

A user complains that the AI Plus tier cannot use Gemini 4 Argon in Antigravity, while the Pro tier is restricted to the single model gemini-3.8-flash.

A user complains that Antigravity offers Pro subscribers neither the Pro Gemini model nor Argon, even though both are fully available in regular Gemini chat, and asks whether this is fair.

Writing alongside a new low for $ZHIPU, the author observes that OpenAI and Anthropic are giving away credits and cutting prices while Google launched the cheap Gemini 4 Argon, dulling the low-price advantage of Chinese models like DeepSeek as giants use subsidies to win developers.
