Argon impresses in testing but Google's $200/month Ultra usage limits draw fire

doodlestein says Google's new Argon model is superb across many tests, using his /reality-check-for-project skill at high effort and finding it thorough and detail-oriented (2-3 days to verify follow-through). But he slams the stingy usage limits on the $200/month Ultra subscription: with so much TPU compute and a distant third-place market position, Google should be more generous. Attached is a Dickensian meme of Ultra holders rationed to one token a day.
