Gemini 4 Argon (High): Intelligence, Performance and Price Analysis
The item is an Artificial Analysis intelligence, performance, and price analysis for Gemini 4 Argon (High), surfaced via Hacker News. Its intelligence section is built on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.3.2, which incorporates 10 evaluations: AA-Briefcase v1.1, GDPval-AA v2.1, AutomationBench-AA, Terminal-Bench 4.0, SciCode, Humanity's Last Exam, GDP.pdf, CritPt, AA-Omniscience, and AA-LCR v1.1. The index is presented both by open weights and proprietary status; the page includes a "Not publicly available" label and notes that model weights are indicated as available or not, with models labeled "Commercial Use Restricted" if commercial use is limited by conditions and "Non-commercial" if the license prohibits commercial use. It directs readers to the Intelligence Index methodology for a breakdown of each evaluation and how they are run.
The page also distinguishes capability indexes, which measure performance on specific capabilities and industries, from the overall intelligence evaluation. Intelligence evaluations are measured independently by Artificial Analysis and higher is better. The listed evaluations include agentic knowledge work (Elo-500/2000), agentic real-world work tasks (Elo-500/2000), agentic SaaS workflows, agentic coding and terminal use, coding, professional document reasoning (All-pass), physics reasoning, agentic scientific research workflows in a terminal, and medical long context reasoning. A note says that while model intelligence generally translates across use cases, specific evaluations may be more relevant for certain use cases.
A detailed methodology note covers AA-Briefcase v1.1, described as an updated agentic knowledge-work benchmark developed by Artificial Analysis. Its AA-Briefcase Elo is a combined metric aggregating rubric pass rate, analytical quality Elo, and presentation Elo, with rubric performance converted into Elo via synthetic head-to-head matches; Elo and 95% confidence interval bounds are clamped. The excerpt repeats that the Intelligence Index v4.3.2 includes the same 10 evaluations and points again to the methodology.
The analysis is meant to let readers compare Gemini 4 Argon (High) across intelligence, capability, and price dimensions using a multi-evaluation framework. However, the provided excerpt contains the evaluation framework and AA-Briefcase methodology rather than Gemini 4 Argon's actual scores or pricing figures.
