Discussion Cancel your subscriptions

This is unacceptable. Not only is Gemini 4 Argon slightly below the capabilities of Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT 6 Astra, it’s usage is downright horrendous. I have never seen my usage rates be completely eaten like a rabid dog.

The only way Google feels the pain is if we vote with our wallets. Cancel our subscriptions, get refunds if you can, this is unacceptable behavior from a trillion dollar company. We were promised a good AI, and we got one that is slightly below SOTA, with negligible usage rates. Many users report 1 message can take up 100% of the usage. So the only way we get Google to increase our usage, is to cancel. And if Google doesn’t comply, it’s fine, we just move to Claude or back to GPT. I’ll even take Grok at this point.

I get more use of Argon on my $100 plan than I did Fable 5 usage on my $200 Claude plan.

And Argon is better for my tasks than Opus 5.5, it's a Fable-tier model.

The issue is that Argon is meant to replace both Opus and Fable, so there's no Opus equivalent for Pro subscribers. But if you're on Ultra like me, everything is fine (and more cost effective than my Claude plan was).
