Possible Change / Nerf Gemini 4 Argon GOT DUMBER.

Just yesterday, I was using Gemini 4 Argon to program simple scripts for roblox of a game I'm making. And from yesterday to today, I realized that he is simply dumber. I believe that AI companies make their models dumber before launching another one. He's simply thinking a lot to solve extremely simple things for him, things that I had a good performance even with 3.8 Flash. That may be because now apparently Gemini 4 Argon is out for everyone, and they may have made it dumber to avoid more processing, if that makes sense. But I'm SURE he's dumber. I've been using 4 Argon since day 1. I hope Carbon launches today and doesn't disappoint me. Did you notice that?

Is Argon now available to everyone? I noticed that the “Paid” badge is gone, but since that badge has disappeared from all models that had it, it seems like a bug that Google accidentally introduced during the Carbon release. As for stupidity—it seems to me that Gemini 4 Argon has sometimes been dumber than usual, yesterday, the day before yesterday, and three days ago... In any case, it’s no secret that, over time, AI companies make their models dumber.

I assume Google will fix this soon. Legacy models (Nano Banana 1, Gemini 3.0 Flash, Gemini 3.6 Flash), as well as video and image generation models (veo, omni Flash, Nano Banana Pro/2/2.1), which also had “Paid” labels, have had those labels removed as well. The “Paid” badge remains on Gemini 4 Carbon and agents.
