Fireship published a hands-on video ("Gemini 4 ARGON: First Look") taking Google's newly announced model for a test drive after claims it beats GPT-6 and Claude Opus 5.5. He compares all three models on real tasks and weighs whether Google has actually dethroned OpenAI and Anthropic — a useful independent check beyond benchmark tables.
