Don't move everything to Argon: a Gemini 4 Argon vs Opus 5.5 task split
The author notes Argon is only half the price of Opus until November 30 and lists tasks to move to Argon batch (code audits, writing tests, docs) versus what to keep on Claude (daily loops, explicit caching, live endpoints).
holy sh*t stop moving everything to argon it's half the price of opus until nov 30. that doesn't make it the right model for every job move to argon batch: → the migration you keep postponing → a full codebase audit, findings to a report → tests for every module that has none → docs, long reports, hours of call recordings keep on claude: → your daily claude code loop. tuned prompts, subagents, hooks → anything that relies on explicit caching. argon only has implicit → live user-facing endpoints. you'll forget them until dec 1 → labels, routing, yes/no checks. rules or haiku 5.5 4 questions before you move anything: > is someone waiting on the answer? > is it one-off or forever? > is the prompt cached on purpose? > can the output be checked? move what nobody waits for. keep what you tuned. full playbook below ↓ save it.
