Surprisingly plain pelicans for a Gemini model, quite a nice illustration of how Hydrogen really is significantly less powerful than Carbon and Argon: https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer?url=ht...

For comparison here's Argon: https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer?url=ht...

And Carbon: https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer?url=ht...

Here's a comparison grid: https://static.simonwillison.net/static/2026/gemini-4-pelica... - note that Carbon and Argon are priced the same, so it's actually quite neat to see the difference in token usage between them (Google say that Argon is more token efficient.)
