Hands-on: Gemini 4 Argon beats Opus 5.5 on coding at half the price
A first-time Gemini coder reran a hard task previously given to Claude Opus 5.5 and says Argon handled it better at half the per-token price ($2/$10 vs $4/$20).

My honest take on Gemini 4 Argon as someone who has never used a Gemini model for coding before: I reran a tough coding task that I previously gave to Claude Opus 5.5. Expecting it to fail, I gave the exact same task to Argon. Argon handled the whole thing better than Opus 5.5 and it currently costs half the price per token ($2/$10 vs $4/$20). The gap isn't there anymore.
