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

A Japanese user shares a workaround for making motion graphics with Gemini 4 Argon in the Gemini app: call Gemini 2.5 TTS from Canvas without an API key, then auto-cut video to the audio waveform.

The author uses Gemini 4 Argon with native 2D Canvas and no game engine to generate a real-time water-wave sandbox with lighting modes, buoyancy and wave tuning, plus notes on API pricing and subscription billing.

A Vietnamese post says Google has released Gemini 4 Argon for developers and enterprises, targeting multi-step coding, science and finance tasks, with API pricing at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, expected to rise after November 30.

A complaint post: a disk-space optimization update is good news, but Gemini 4 Argon overshadowed it that day, with a joke about Fable 5.5 and OpenAI launching on the same day as Anthropic.

Minara says Gemini 4 Argon is now live in its Harness, highlighting step-by-step breakdown of complex tasks and coding improvements for research and strategy workflows.

A user posts that they finally got access to Gemini 4 Argon, with a screenshot of the interface, suggesting a wider rollout.

Google is giving about 10,000 researchers worldwide six months of top-tier Antigravity access with the new Gemini 4 Argon model, limited to non-commercial research.

A post with an image asks why Google's own products don't use Gemini 4 Argon if it is so capable, reflecting discussion after Argon's launch.

A user complains that every model release comes with "the end of coding" videos, and now sees thumbnails claiming "Gemini 4 Argon Is Officially Here," suspecting it is all hype.

The author ran Gemini 4 Argon and Claude Opus 5.5 on the exact same prompt, saying Argon's results surprised them at one-fourteenth of the price.

An attached image shows Gemini 4 Argon ahead of Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra on reasoning benchmarks, which the poster calls wild.

A question post asks whether Google can win the AI race with the Gemini 4 Argon model, with no testing or new information.
