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

Several top sources said Gemini 4 Argon would launch that day but it did not, and the poster argues Argon cannot arrive before Gemini 3.5 Pro.

The post says Gemini 4 Argon is not launching that day and Google has only given small-scale early access, seven days after the announcement.

A poster says the odds of Gemini 4 Argon beating GPT models are low, but not entirely zero.

The post argues that Argon (the rumored Gemini 4 Pro) never had an official launch date, so the reported delay is just the community treating rumors as a schedule.

A user complains that Google is mishandling the rollout again, says excitement for Gemini 4 Argon is fading, and asks for early access from Logan Kilpatrick.

A joking post says Gemini 4 Argon has been hyped for longer than some of the poster's past relationships.

A user points out that Gemini 4 Argon was never officially announced, so the reported delay is just false expectations built on rumors.

A leak claims Gemini 4 Flash is available only on Pro subscriptions and Gemini 4 Pro (codenamed Argon) only on Ultra plans, with an image said to be a subscription page screenshot.

A poster says Gemini 4 Argon uses 1.3x quota at a 512k context window and 1.8x at 900k.

A post reminds readers that Gemini 4 Argon is available only to Ultra subscribers and still trails Opus 5.5 and Astra in performance.

Rumors of an Argon launch yesterday did not pan out, and the author guesses the Gemini team is avoiding Haiku 5.5, while expecting Argon to beat Haiku and Luna and maybe rival Sonnet 5.5.

Ahead of Gemini 4 Argon's launch, a Japanese user records how they split tasks across ChatGPT for general chores, Claude for development and Gemini for Workspace and unwinding.
