Normies aren't the target market for Argon anyway. The Gemini app is still serving 3.6 Flash and 3.1 Pro.
reply> They don’t really. Most normies which are the vast majority of people just use ChatGPT. All tech folk just use Claude.
replyIt was the case a year ago, but it's less clear cut nowadays, I've seen non-tech people using claude on their phone in the train, and many tech people seem to have switched from Claude Code + Opus to Codex + Sol over the past few month.
Normies are not the target for a frontier model
replythey are target with 6 month lag. Say, if current Gemini will be demonstrating obviously superior perf compared to Opus, many normies devs will switch within 6 months.
replySometimes it seems like ChatGPT and Claude are releasing models every week.
replyYeah, then I guess the GP was technically right it’s just people aren’t jumping providers constantly is what I was trying to get across.
