Leaked hands-on: Gemini 4 Argon is a genuine Opus rival, priced at a 'mad' $2/$10 per M tokens
iruletheworldmo · x · 2026-10-14
An unverified leak claims weeks of early access to 'Gemini 4 Argon': unlike the benchmaxed Muse, it's described as a genuine contender to Astra and Opus, matching SOTA in games, SVGs and 3D modelling. Priced at $2/$10 per million tokens until end of November — 'mad.' The glaring issues are Google's culture and the agent harness, though visible reasoning traces and website login have reportedly been fixed. Third-party leak, not officially confirmed.
