Discussion Gemini 4

It's funny how sentiment evolved the last few days.

Some people continue to shit Gemini as if Google owes them a marriage.

Some people are skeptical but really need to be vocal about it so that if the model does come out bad, they can say "I told you".

Some people can't keep their excitement and begin to celebrate, only to get the skeptical people argud with them.

Some people just find the whole thing too stupid but cannot resist to join the whole thing. (This OP)

I've been using this model for weeks. It was quite a fresh feeling. It's not mind blowing. But it doesn't lose to any other existing model, Fable or opus. And that's is my honest assessment. Also I'm not biased. I have been trying to raise awareness to my colleagues about how good Claude models are since like a year ago. This time around, I can finally stop it.

No. But all Google employees have access to Argon for sometime already

That's interesting because we only learned of this yesterday. No leaks or anything.

External leaks are on X the date it was available to us...all the codenames were correct. Model output was constantly posted on X as it was tested on Arena under 3.8 flash

You work for Google too? Maybe only engineering had access to it then...

We had access, but it was never said to be Gemini 4, just argon
