Gemini 4 Argon hands-on: unified 1M context window, 77.9% on DeepSWE, prices double after Nov 30
卡尔的AI沃茨 · wechat · 2026-10-14
A Chinese writeup (framed as a cultivation-novel parody) reviews Gemini 4 Argon: input and output are unified at a 1M-token window (up from 64K output), writing is noticeably more direct with better style adherence, and DeepSWE v1.1 hits 77.9% with agent completion rates reportedly up 35%+. API pricing is $2/M input and $10/M output, but doubles after November 30. The author finds long-form writing benefits most from the big output window, while pure creative prose and some coding details still favor Claude Opus 5.5.
