> I find it difficult to get invested in Gemini because nobody will have access to Carbon for a few months anyways.
I feel like you're being overly dramatic here. Argon was 13 - 15 days.
Argon was announced September 30, made available on October 13 to Ultra everywhere, and Pro in the Gemini App. Pro plans got Argon on October 15 in AGY.
This is the first time they've slow-rolled a model. Who knows how long they'll wait on Carbon.
The Ultra-lite plans ($99/month) get some pretty good quota where you can actually use Argon some more. Maybe Google shouldn't be grouping together plans, but it should also be noted that $20/month also gets you 5TB of storage on Drive. If you paid for Dropbox, you get 3TB for $18/month (without any AI model usage).
