- Been testing Gemini 4 Argon for the past week Its a good model, but not Opus5.5/Astra/Fable levels. Great at coding and replicating UI. It took a lot to push it into production ready code though, much of the output was cool demo, but didn't think about auth, accounts, etc.. For 3D, its not as strong. This is Astra vs Argon in 3D modeling my office. Same instructions + set of tools for recursive vision input For the price, I think its a great deal and happy to see Google have a decent model out now. 13 Oct 2026

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
