First impressions: Gemini 4 Argon writes far better than Opus 5.5 and GPT 6 Astra
ccatalini · x · 2026-10-16
ccatalini's first take on Gemini 4 Argon: an incredible writer, much better than Opus 5.5 or GPT 6 Astra, with smooth human-like replies worth re-reading — a first for any model. Paper reading and ideation are on par with the others but sometimes jagged, occasionally missing things.
