Sam Witteveen — 'Gemini 4 Argon - Out and Tested!!'
Sam Witteveen tests Gemini 4 Argon on its general release day, from a one-prompt music maker to a code, render and fix loop, and covers its Artificial Analysis score, the 1M-token output limit and pricing.
Sam Witteveen gets hands-on with Gemini 4 Argon the day Google opens it to the public.
What is it?
'Gemini 4 Argon - Out and Tested!!' went up on Sam Witteveen's channel on 13 October 2026, the day Gemini 4 Argon became generally available. His earlier 1 October video could not show outputs; this one tests the model directly.
How does it work?
The chapters run through where Argon is available, a demo that builds a ReBirth-style music maker from one prompt, Blender and game demos, and a code, render, look and fix loop. The second half covers the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, where Argon sits among Google's products, practical use of the 1M-token output limit, and pricing.
Why does it matter?
Benchmarks came out two weeks before anyone outside Google's cyber program could use the model. A hands-on test on day one shows builders what the long-output model does in practice before they spend API credit on it.
