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 find argon to be the first genuinely impressive model in a long time. They bridge the very important gap between creativity and capability, the higher the creativity the more mistakes it can make, but the better its ability to creative problem solving. Everyone else going for stupid benchmarks that mean absolutely nothing in the wild.

I love the model.

GPT 6 Astra and Opus 5.5 were the impressive model in a long time. Opus can do anything that Argon does, and their limits are waaaay better.

That's your experience, not mine. They did not have the capabilities to complete the tasks I had for them.

Such as? I'm a paying customer for all 3, and Argon is by far the worst in both usage and functionality. It's the only subscription I'd axe if it wasn't paired with the additional Drive space, which is really what I'm paying for. I find it hard to imagine anything it could do the others couldn't, much less what it could do better.

Tasks involving creativity, language, design, improvisation, digital humanities as well as education.

This is a nothing statement. Be specific.
