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

Argon is available to Pro/Ultra subscribers and via API at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output until November 30, doubling after that, with the output limit raised to 1M tokens.

A user says the cheap Google AI subscription already works well with Gemini 3.8 Flash, that the upcoming Gemini 4 Argon will be even better, and that the rate limits are generous.

A user complains that Gemini 4 Argon's hype was overblown, the limits are frustrating and response quality has dropped, and asks Google directly whether something changed.

Signing in to v0.app with a Google account gives monthly free credits to try Gemini 4 Argon, with no payment or credit card required.

Given the same "make me a chicken that crosses the road" prompt, Gemini 4 Argon produced a photo while Claude Opus 5.5 built the road.

Google says Gemini 4 Argon can restructure Chrome's codebase, aid rare disease research, find security vulnerabilities, and turn a desk photo into a playable racing game.

A 3D AI creator shows several Rickroll video versions made with Gemini 4 Argon and asks which one people prefer and how they feel about Argon.

A meme post with a video joking about Google's state after releasing Gemini 4 Argon, with no substantive information.

The author asked Gemini 4 Argon to recreate an entire video as clean vector SVG frames, and it succeeded on the first attempt in about 20 minutes on Argon high in Antigravity CLI with no follow-ups, with a side-by-side comparison to the original.

The post says users can sign in to Experiential Labs with a Google account to check for free Gemini 4 Argon credits and try it in the playground without a card.

A hands-on review says Argon is back in the top tier and a major upgrade for Workspace users, but its writing is dense, it cuts corners on large codebases, it overstuffs interfaces with buttons, and Antigravity's lack of cloud runs hurts the experience.

A user argues that Gemini 4 Argon has less knowledge than the year-old Gemini 3 Pro, questioning Google's pre-training progress despite hype about its most ambitious run yet.
