Google Defends Gemini 4 Real-World Performance

Google unveiled Gemini 4 Argon yesterday, claiming it beats OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra on benchmarks. Bloomberg reports internal Googlers say real-world coding performance lags. Google disputes this, citing DeepMind head Koray Kavukcuoglu. The model costs $4 per million input tokens and $20 per million output tokens, with introductory pricing at half that.
