Now legislators demonstrated how much that matters. I don't have the knowledge to evaluate the national security concerns. But from the outcome, it's a matter they'll firmly push as a long term strategy, even at the cost of one of the world's most visionary CEOs.

The benchmark scores are not exciting. I understand Google is playing a catch up game right now, but still wish to see some overwhelming improvements.

Gemini 4 Argon (High) looks comparable to Claude Opus 5.5 (High). https://artificialanalysis.ai/models/comparisons/gemini-4-ar... From that perspective, the benchmark is not too disappointing, given that there are only 8 days between the blog posts (September 30 vs. September 22).

Nevermind. Switching to Opus 5.5.
