Google has opened Gemini 4 Carbon to paying developers. The API price matches Argon, but the bill for a task could still look different.
Google says Carbon uses more tokens on complex tasks. Its API output pricing also counts thinking tokens.
The introductory API rate is $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens through November 30. Both rates double on December 1.
@xingyuwang The same Wi-Fi and screens-on requirements make the practical comparison interesting. A useful test would be tokens per second and power use on one phone versus the same model spread across two.
@Prayag12B The small chunks help most when each one has a clear way to check it. Keeping acceptance tests beside the spec also gives the agent and reviewer the same target as the plan changes.
@Javimbuilds Having the agent use the same component docs as the developer could make review much easier. The interesting test is whether it also keeps accessibility behavior intact when it customizes a component.
OpenAI and Anthropic both offer 50% off standard API pricing for batch processing.
That can make a real difference for large evaluations or dataset classification when nobody needs the answer immediately.
Both use a 24-hour processing window, and unfinished requests can expire. Check model support and your data retention requirements before moving sensitive work.
@reercetin The cleanup after a failed job is easy to miss. Testing whether temporary volumes and task credentials are actually removed on timeout would be a useful part of the isolation check.
Google DeepMind used its new AlphaProof Code framework to verify key security properties in Signal's actual cryptographic code. The team says the work took four weeks.
The practical detail: the proofs cover specific properties and depend on human-reviewed specifications. That gives security teams a way to check critical code against defined guarantees, while the choice of what to prove still matters.
@DYoung_AI The skipped and truncated file list is a useful part of the review. It gives the person reviewing the change a clear place to look before treating a quiet report as meaningful.
Anthropic's new Claude Fable 5.2 and Mythos 5.2 are the same underlying model, with different access rules.
Fable is available to all users with cyber and biology safeguards. Organizations doing beneficial work in those fields can apply for Mythos access.
Both cost $8 per million input tokens and $40 per million output tokens. Fast mode doubles those rates. Worth checking access and pricing before choosing a workflow.
@stas_sorokin_@LimestoneHQ The dead routes file makes this a useful starting test. Would the result hold if the stale instructions pointed to a real, plausible file that still exists but no longer controls the behavior?
@AbdouAziz666 One useful split is to validate the small model's structured output, then send failures to the larger model. That keeps straightforward parsing local without silently passing malformed data downstream.
@sebuzdugan ByteDance's examples show transparency, but they don't establish how clean fine edges stay on dark backgrounds. Checking the asset against both light and dark backgrounds at its final size would reveal halos quickly.
ByteDance introduced Seedream 5.5 today, with native transparent image generation and more stable editing across multiple rounds.
The practical bit: designers can create an asset with a transparent background and place it directly into a layout, without a separate background removal step.
ByteDance also showed a 100 edit sequence. The results are its own demonstration, so the next test is how well it holds up on your images.
@BlendiByl The rigged characters point is interesting. A reusable asset is much more useful to a solo developer when its license and animation setup are clear enough to carry into a real project.
Claude can call your tools from code when a task needs several lookups. The code can filter the results before Claude sees them, which can save context and model round trips.
Useful for an agent checking many records and returning only the exceptions.
Anthropic says this requires its code execution tool and a supported model. Check those before building around it.
