Our strongest frontier model, Gemini 4 Carbon, is now available.
Built for deeply complex, long-horizon workflows that push a frontier model’s intelligence, Carbon delivers frontier performance in agentic workflows across complex knowledge work, software engineering and web development, cybersecurity, and scientific reasoning.
While Gemini 4 Argon remains the ideal model for the majority of software engineering and knowledge work, Carbon steps in for your hardest tasks that push a model to its limits — from complex, multi-step debugging to open-ended scientific research.
Available starting today:
— Consumers: use it in the @GeminiApp and AI Mode in Search for Google AI Ultra subscribers
— Developers and Enterprises: build via the API in @GoogleAIStudio and @AndroidStudio, Google @Antigravity for Google AI Ultra subscribers, and Gemini for business
— Scientists and Researchers: apply for a chance to get 6 months free via @Antigravity
— Cybersecurity Defenders: apply to join the Fairwind Program for access to Carbon for cyber
Watch how Carbon brings reasoning and coding together, turning avian research into an interactive 3D simulation of a songbird’s vocal organ that synthesizes the sounds of six bird species live.

SpaceX will attempt to catch both the Super Heavy booster and Starship on the upcoming flight.
If both are successful, it will mark the first time that all parts of an orbital rocket return to Earth intact.
This is the critical breakthrough needed to make life multiplanetary.
More than a dozen flight tests and years of development, with countless hours worked by SpaceX engineers and technicians, all come down to this: the first orbital Starship launch carrying advanced Starlink satellites bound for space.
Watch “Go For Orbit” and experience the moments behind flying the most ambitious Starship mission yet

“Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. But I’d rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey and reminds us to cherish every moment, because they’ll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we’ve lived. After all, Number One, we’re only mortal.”

Correct.
Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be.
Starshield, a different system, is controlled by the US government. What they decide to do is up to them.
Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week.
Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now. Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact.
Starlink was also crucial to preventing Russia from overrunning Ukraine in the early days of the war, as all other means of communication were destroyed or jammed by Russia.
SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR.
That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell.
End of story.
