This is a prerelease and the title should have reflected that.

I've noticed all major providers having shockingly high token discounts on cached tokens. Thank you Deepseek is all I have to say. Forever grateful to that wonderful company, I wish them continued financial success.

On the off chance there are Google execs going through this thread:

Google, if you've actually managed to catch up again, please don't fuck this up (again).

You made Gemini 2.5 Pro so difficult to use that myself and everyone else I know (who even bothered to try) just gave up and used something else. If you make this hard to access, you're going to miss out on rich usage-based training data that you need to progress your capability frontier. Again.

Oh we're down to gas names now?

Other than not being available publicly, I find it extremely disappointing about Google’s two-faced behavior. CEO signs an official document with POTUS stating that AI is now SI, but the release of the new model doesn’t mention SI even once. Even worse, it’s AI all over that page.

I don't have access; this is meaningless to me.

So, this is the third (I think) big AI corporation after OpenAI and Anthropic to release general models for elites only.

Don't use this model unless you like sitting under the table and eating crumbs off the floor.

What keeps both Gemini and Grok from actually being frontier class AIs is effort. Both AIs rush to give you a response even when the effort is set to the highest setting. Hopefully, Argon isn’t as prone to satisficing and premature convergence compared to its predecessor

I'll consider it if they let me use a subscription with a custom harness, like Codex does. Until then, no thanks.

More Cartmanland marketing. It's the best park ever, and you can't come!

Get lost.
