Gemini 4 Argon first impressions: superb at code analysis, but quotas burn out in five hours

A Google AI Pro subscriber shares hands-on impressions of Gemini 4 Argon:
- Strong capabilities: On Python code analysis and vulnerability detection, Argon caught issues the 3.8 model missed, clearly explaining severity, affected components, and impact — plus the reasoning behind each proposed fix and how to implement it. The author calls it the best Google model he's tested for code analysis and troubleshooting.
- Quota pain: A single not-particularly-long task exhausted his five-hour usage window, after which he was downgraded to 3.5 Flash Light at the lowest reasoning level.
Verdict: excellent model, but the gap between quality and quota is glaring; he hopes Google raises limits once launch hype settles.
