Gemini 4 Argon after 24 hours: a good model, but not a daily driver
After a day of testing, the author calls Argon a good model but not a daily driver, saying Opus 5.5 is more consistent at lower cost and that Google needs to drop Carbon to keep up with Fable 5.5.

I have been testing Gemini 4 Argon for over 24 hours now. Google built a good model but it is definitely not a daily driver. Opus 5.5 still produces more consistent output at a fraction of the cost. If Google wants to compete with Anthropic they need to drop Carbon. With Fable 5.5 on the horizon Gemini might already be too far behind.
