Gemini 4 Carbon reportedly lands this month to take on Opus 5.5
The post says Carbon is an upgrade over Argon arriving this month, notes Google's strength in visual tasks, and hopes it can genuinely compete with Astra and Fable rather than being incremental.

Gemini 4 Carbon is in development, and it's coming this month. - According to the information, Google is working on Gemini 4 Carbon, which is expected to be an upgrade over Argon. - The article also mentions that Google's models are very good at visual tasks, and I agree. When you give them an image or video to analyze, they do a really good job. - Gemini 4 Argon is still behind OpenAI and Anthropic in some areas, and I hope Google closes that gap this time. - I want Gemini 4 Carbon to be competitive with Astra and Fable, rather than just another incremental upgrade. - If the model really is coming this month, it looks like Google is picking up the pace with its releases. Carbon should reach at least Opus 5.5-level performance this time. Google needs a model that can genuinely compete with the best.
