gemini-4-argon · default on R2

Provisional. Model google/gemini-4-argon, track Router (OpenRouter, pinned provider), scenario R2: TRUNCATE "to purge quickly" on a table read from the standby, sample 1.

[ok] right change (from the text of the answer, patterns only)

Lab

stage reached

production window on the lab primary

not measured

seconds with zero throughput

1 s

longest run of zero throughput

1 s

bounds judged

rehearsal 17, production 0, never 0

"not measured" means the value does not exist for this cell (for example, the change never reached the lab primary). It is never zero.

Answer

The change request, as the model wrote it (JSON).
