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

A critic says Google DeepMind's keynote promised another Grok Bot/Muse competitor rather than giving access to Gemini 4 Argon, which may be outdated and shelved like 3.5 Pro.

Sundar Pichai says Gemini 4 Argon excels at turning huge unstructured inputs into cohesive outputs and executes complex enterprise workflows to completion, with expansion to more customers worldwide.

A video post says Gemini 4 Argon has finally been released and asks whether Pro subscribers can already use it.

Sundar Pichai says Gemini 4 Argon will be released as soon as and as safely as possible, and is currently limited to the US government and trusted cyber defenders, with no date for general users.

The Polymarket contract for a Gemini 4.0 release by October 31 has risen to 93%, but the author notes the rules require full public availability and the explicit Gemini 4.0 name, so a closed beta resolves as No.

At the Google at Work event, Pichai said Gemini 4 Argon will be made available as soon as and as safely as possible, with no release that day, and urged people to focus on building.

The post asserts that Gemini 4 Argon will not be released before October 15, adding another round of community speculation about the launch window.

A post lists rumored Gemini 4 Argon specs: a 1M token output limit, LVBench 91.7%, DeepSWE v1.1 77.9%, AutomationBench 51.3%, ultra-low-cost caching, and the lowest hallucination rate of any model.

The author reads Google's line on Gemini 4 Argon as meaning delays, safety reviews, a slip to next year, and then a quiet cancellation.

Antigravity's insiders client code references Gemini 4 Argon with 512k and 900k context options, 1.3x and 1.8x quota multipliers, and cloud billing at $4 input / $20 output, though release and API access remain unconfirmed.

A video says Google has started expanding Gemini 4 Argon to customers, with CEO Pichai saying it will open to more testers as soon as safely possible, but no public Gemini 4 Argon release today.

A user reports seeing Gemini 4 Argon in Antigravity with 512K/900K context, dedicated reasoning controls, and $4 input / $20 output pricing, though release and API access remain unconfirmed.
