Congrats Gemini team. Never bet against Google, the company that brought us Transformers and has overwhelming data, engineering talent, and compute. Everyone has, rightfully, pivoted back to coding. Coding agents are the killer app of AI. We're firmly at an elysium for developers and builders. Incidentally, getting Muse Wonder and Gemini Argon back-to-back is a reminder why you as an individual, and your company, should stay model agnostic and gateway-maxxx / fx-maxxx.
Gemini 4 Argon, the first Gemini 4 model, is live on AI Gateway. 50% off through Dec 1st. Use it with difficult coding and agent tasks. 𝚐𝚘𝚘𝚐𝚕𝚎/𝚐𝚎𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚒-𝟺-𝚊𝚛𝚐𝚘𝚗 vercel.com/changelog/gemini-…

Jason came to ClearCalcs to get confidence in designing a house. "If I haven't found ClearCalcs, I don't know if I would've done this work. The program basically does the work for you." Make structural design calculations the easiest part of your job: bit.ly/3Lipch1

Hey everybody, please learn markdown and use it to write text files instead of creating files in heavy formats using heavy tools which excel at doing something other than e.g. transmitting words to your colleagues. Thank you. ❤️ – at College Park, GA

Just in case anyone is confused, #coding doesn't teach students #STEM skills, it only touches upon some #technology and #engineering skills (and barely), but completely misses #science and #maths. Coding and STEM are not equivalent. Stop it.

One thing that web apps are wayyy better at that nobody talks about—when you *know* you're looking at stale data, you can just hit refresh.

It's called 'leadership', Donald. The terrorists were dead 8 minutes after police got the call. If we need an alarmist blowhard, we'll call. xitter.cf/realDonaldTrump/status…
At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is "no reason to be alarmed!"
