Been stress-testing Gemini 4 Argon for days. Here's the alpha:

IQ Rankings: Claude >≈ GPT >≈ Gemini

At least Gemini finally made it to the table.

Ass-kissing level: Gemini still >> Claude/GPT

Productivity: Gemini got wrecked << GPT ≈< Claude

Did Gemini even do competitive research? Forcing "Gem" into "Skill" is whatever. But zero [Work Mode], zero [Projects] = can't touch local files. You're stuck routing through Google Docs/Drive like it's 2015.

Usage caps: GPT > Claude > Gemini

Gemini-4's token budget runs out insanely fast. They learned nothing good from competitors but nailed the stingy part from Anthropic perfectly.
