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

A user says Gemini 3.8 Flash had heavy safety layers and only took a scientific stance on sensitive topics, while Gemini 4 Argon handled them noticeably more naturally in testing.

A video generated with Gemini 4 Pro explains the ground-effect and vortex principles of Formula 1 cars as an animated educational demo.

A Spanish-language creator rounds up September's crowded release schedule, including GPT-6 Astra, Opus 5.5, Grok 4.7 and Gemini 4 Argon.

The author used Gemini 4 Pro to create a visualization video titled "The Fourier Harmonic," showing the model's ability to handle math animations.

A commenter says they won't fall for Gemini hype again and asks whether Argon has even been released to ordinary users.

StatsWire says Antigravity quietly joined the Coding Agent Index, where the unreleased Gemini 4 Argon scored 64, a few points behind Claude and ahead of GPT-6.1 Sol and Astra.

The poster says Gemini 4 Argon looks impressive on benchmark charts, but its real coding performance still falls short of OpenAI and Anthropic, and questions whether Google can catch up.

A 3D demo made with Gemini 4 Pro shows a giant glowing sea serpent built from dozens of cyan voxel segments swimming through a deep trench, alongside pink deep-sea life and hot vents.

Google says Gemini 4 Argon scores 77.9% on DeepSWE and supports 1M output tokens, with internal use for C++ to Rust work, but Bloomberg sources say it still struggles on some coding tasks.

A Turkish-language weekly roundup says Google released Gemini 4 Argon with 1M output tokens per request, an AA intelligence index score of 53 matching GPT-6 Astra, and access limited to security teams for now.

A developer says five AlphaEvolve studies run with Gemini 4 Argon in Antigravity cut code size in half and improved metrics by 50%.

From October 9, free individual users will be limited to Flash-Lite and AI Plus subscribers lose Pro access, while Deep Think moves down to AI Pro, a change read as pushing users to upgrade.
