Argon tops hallucination bench with >50% false claim rate, prompting Gemini users to back off

@theo ran the Argon model on his own "codebase analysis" benchmark, and the results were ugly: Argon was the only model with a false claim rate above 50%. Brandon Galang quipped that this ends using Gemini for non-hallucination-tolerant use cases, implying Argon's relation to Gemini.
A direct warning for developers relying on models for low-tolerance tasks like codebase analysis: with such high false-claim rates, every factual statement in the output needs verification.
