About Gemini 4 Carbon

Gemini 4 Carbon is a Gemini 4 model from Google DeepMind built for code. It writes code on the level of Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5.

Carbon is made for developer tools and agents: it runs in Antigravity, Google's agent platform, as a full model for long tasks and as a medium version for code editors and IDE extensions. It joins Gemini 4 Argon, released on September 30, 2026, and Argon Max Mode, a version that spends more compute on hard problems.

Gemini 4 Carbon is expected by the end of 2026.

Code on the level of Claude Opus 5.5

Gemini 4 Carbon is Google's model for code. It writes, refactors and fixes code on the level of Claude Opus 5.5, from a single function to changes across a project.

Built for code editors and agents

Carbon runs in Antigravity, Google's agent platform for developers, in two sizes: the full model for long agent tasks and a medium version fast enough to suggest code as you type in an editor or IDE extension.

Gemini 4 Carbon is Google DeepMind's next Gemini 4 model, built for code. It writes code on the level of Claude Opus 5.5 and runs in Google's tools for developers and agents.

Gemini 4 Carbon is expected by the end of 2026.

They do different jobs. Carbon is built for code and works on the level of Claude Opus 5.5 there; Gemini 4 Argon is the general Gemini 4 model for reasoning, math and work with images, audio and video.

At coding they are on about the same level. Carbon also comes in a medium version that suggests code as you type in an editor.

A version of Gemini 4 Argon that spends more compute on hard, multi-step problems before it answers. It comes out next to Gemini 4 Carbon.

Not yet. On Overchat AI you can use Gemini 4 Argon, Google's newest released model, or Superchat, which picks the model for you. Gemini 4 Carbon will be added once it is out.

Gemini 4 Argon, released on September 30, 2026 and generally available since October 13. It reads text, images, audio, video and files and keeps up to 1 million tokens in context.
