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

A leak claims Gemini 4 Argon is already up on Google Cloud Platform, with a launch expected within two days and a week at most.

Gemini 4 Argon has been spotted in the Google Cloud billing catalogue, which the poster says usually means public access follows shortly.

LuminaBench says Gemini 4 Argon is now listed in Google Cloud, where models normally launch the same day unless something changes.

A leak says Gemini 4 Argon has shown up in Google Cloud's model list, seen as a sign the release is close.

A video with a disclaimer claims Google released Argon with a 1M-token single-generation output limit, up from 64K, and early access for trusted cyber defenders via Fairwind.

The poster hopes Google releases Gemini 4 Argon this week and questions whether only Ultra subscribers will get it or Pro users will be included.

A leaker says people they know already have access to Gemini 4 Argon, suggesting a broader launch could come within days.

A timeline from the September 30 announcement to October 6: 1M output, access starting with Fairwind cyber defenders and trusted testers, intro pricing of $2/$10, and paid users still limited to 3.1.

Some Gemini iOS Pro users report a "4 Argon · Complex tasks" option in the model list, part of a random limited rollout, with hands-on impressions said to match Claude Opus 5.

Some Pro users say the iOS Gemini model list now includes a selectable "4 Argon · Complex tasks" alongside 3.5 Flash-Lite, 3.8 Flash and 3.1 Pro, and that it feels no worse than Opus 5.

A post with an image jokes that developers are waiting for Gemini 4 Argon while Google is still busy playing with it.

A reply expresses surprise that Gemini 4 Pro was picked in a poll or ranking, suggesting the model has surfaced somewhere.
