We had early access to Google's model that just released publicly, Gemini-4 Carbon. Best reasoner. Equal to Opus-5.5 at Litigation Drafting at ~35% lower cost. World class by far at post-draft-edits.

Browser use has been rolling out in Antigravity, closing the loop between researching, writing code, and verifying it live. You choose what to log into, downloads pause until you approve them, and the agent can use the browser to run multiple tasks at once. Give it a try today.

I probably did like 20-40B tokens worth of Gemini 4 Carbon tokens It's probably my favorite knowledge work model. Gemini is really good at this. It's fantastic with broad and abstract topics, designing systems, anything related to finance, and it writes well.

What a day! I tested Gemini 4 Carbon on real work. 2 repos, 105 replanted bugs. Find and fix what you can. It scores just behind Fable 5.2. The results: - Fable 5.2 (max): 58 for $139.65 - Gemini 4 Carbon (high): 57.3 for $31.32 - Sonnet 5.5 (max): 51.3 for $154.03 - GPT-6 Astra (max): 45 for $33.03 - GPT-6.1 Sol (max): 44.3 for $5.88 - Gemini 4 Argon (high): 40.7 for $7.16 Google's own benchmarks looked super strong, but nobody could access the model. Turns out they didn't lie: +16.6 points over Argon, at less than a quarter of Fable 5.2's cost. Nobody should be laughing at Google anymore. (the next effort level drops soon in the thread 🧵)

Gemini 4 Carbon is the first model to tie humans in physical 3D understanding we are already approaching AGI, and I can’t imagine what next year holds for us
Google AI Ultra's usage limits are actually INSANE!!! I've been using Gemini 4 Argon High EVERY SINGLE DAY in Antigravity, and I still can't exhaust my quota. My weekly limit resets in 6 minutes, and I STILL have 39% left!!! Never hit the 5-hour limit either. Google is being ridiculously generous with Ultra.

Some great use cases from Googlers building with Gemini 4 Argon 🧵 It has a much stronger grasp of coding and multi-step tool use - starting from a raw Pixel CAD file in Google Antigravity, Argon created this exploded-view animation, lighting, camera choreography, and audio through Blender MCP. It ran 1,000 rounds of iterative loops to check its own renders and refine the code along the way.

Gemini 4 Argon is amazing for knowledge work and coding - and it’s super fun to build with! We asked it to create this wizard chess game and it's so cool to see Argon's physics understanding & 3D modelling capabilities, makes me nostalgic for Battlechess on the Amiga - fun times! Argon is rolling out today to Google Ultra and Pro subscribers in the @GeminiApp and Search, and Ultra subscribers in @antigravity!

Great results from an exceptional model. A great example of the positive impact of AI. This is why we at @GoogleDeepMind make advancing science a core focus!
Google Deepmind (FNV3) CRUSHED the forecast for #Isaias up to 11 days in advance. It picked up some appreciable signal on September 23, locked in on the exact landfall location4 days before it happened, and nailed the peak intensity consistently 3 days before it happened. A new age of forecasting is upon us. First video: Track density using 1000 member ensemble Second Video: Individual tracks and mean using 50 member ensemble

🚨Google DeepMind’s “AlphaProof Nexus” has solved 9 Erdős problems and the results have now passed peer review: >two if them were open for 56 years >also proves 44 OEIS conjectures >every single step checked by Lean >a few $100 per problem >results are now published in Science all while mathematicians are calling for a boycott of OpenAI after their paper dump. WHAT A TIMING.

Can someone explain why so many bakeries close before people with regular jobs even get off work? I promise you there is a huge population of exhausted people at 6 PM who would happily exchange money for a croissant.

The opening sequence to ‘Bad Moon Rising’ kinda sums up why I loved this show - dialogue, characters and acting in full zinging flow. THE WEST WING (2001) #OliverPlatt #MartinSheen #JohnSpencer #AaronSorkin

Gemini 3.7 Flash isn't just fast ⚡ It's now ranked #1 on @ArtificialAnlys' AA-AnalystAgent leaderboard for complex, real-world data analysis. In a test of 80 real-world tasks across 14 business and scientific domains, Gemini 3.7 Flash combined reasoning and speed to deliver the highest overall accuracy, completing tasks 60% to 90% faster than other top-performing models and more than twice as fast (2.4x) as its closest accuracy rival.

AI agents will be a big part of how we shop in the not-so-distant future. To help lay the groundwork, we partnered with Shopify, Etsy, Wayfair, Target and Walmart to create the Universal Commerce Protocol, a new open standard for agents and systems to talk to each other across every step of the shopping journey. And coming soon, UCP will power native checkout so you can buy directly on AI Mode and the @Geminiapp.
