A benchmark table shared by haider1 shows Gemini 4 Argon leading reasoning and data-analysis tasks with a composite score of 84.1 at just $1.830, far cheaper than Claude Opus 5.5 ($4.216). The author argues Google models are underrated because they don't chase coding leadership, yet excel in dimensions that matter for real-world use — fast, reliable, and affordable — which explains Google's massive user base. DeepSeek V4.1 Flash ($0.134) trails the top tier at 77.3.
