What a week at @aiDotEngineer! S/o to @swyx for making it happen, and thanks to everyone who came by to say hi and celebrate the week of Gemini. 🚢

[Gabby Ong @hellogabbo]

@altryne @aiDotEngineer @poteto @osanseviero @EvanOtero @vamsibatchuk @ericavaneee @nafisazizir Camera couldn't handle the energy!

[Gabby Ong @hellogabbo]

Very cool humans hanging out at @aiDotEngineer ♥️

it's quite a good model, give it a try!

Give Gemini 4 Carbon a spin on OpenRouter!

[Models on OpenRouter @ModelsOnOR]

Gemini 4 Carbon from @GoogleDeepMind is now live on OpenRouter, via @googlecloud.

Built for long-horizon agentic coding and cybersecurity. Google reports big gains over Gemini 4 Argon on exploiting vulnerabilities, agentic terminal tasks, and long-context reasoning.

Introductory pricing is 50% off through Nov 30: $2/M input and $10/M output.

[Sundar Pichai @sundarpichai]

Gemini 4 Carbon is rolling out today. It’s built for sustained, long-horizon tasks, reasoning deeply through complex software engineering, cybersecurity, and scientific discovery.

Coming globally via the Gemini API in @GoogleAIStudio and Gemini for business, and for Ultra subscribers in @antigravity, the @GeminiApp, and AI Mode in Search.

@ivanleomk Part of the diffusion is X aura from the boss himself 💪🏻

[Gabby Ong @hellogabbo]

I’m curious to see how to bridge the remote gap. e.g. OpenClaw Multiplayer launched last week where teammates jump into the same live session. Radical transparency into what everyone’s working on, or chaos.

Eitherway, excited to be here in person. If you’re at @aidotengineer this week, would love to say hi! 👋

[Gabby Ong @hellogabbo]

I joined Google DeepMind ~2 months ago! In SF & MTV for @aidotengineer!

​As a singleton in Singapore working on model launches & partners (team in EU/US), I learnt:
​1. Async work is autoregressive - continuous tokens in/out
2. In-person is latent diffusion
3. Trust is an efficient protocol 🧵

[Gabby Ong @hellogabbo]

When building hard things:

1. Async feels autoregressive. You read a doc, reply to a chat, ship a PR. It’s fast and linear, but you only attend to what’s explicitly passed into your context window, even if it’s large.

2. In-person is latent diffusion. Overhearing a desk convo, wandering into a random talk, lunch chatter. It’s noisy, but somehow I get a much better sense of what to actually attend to.

3. Quote @benoitschilling - the tech will change, so focus on the people. Trust is an efficient protocol.

[Gabby Ong @hellogabbo]

Thanks for putting Gemini through the paces and honest feedback!

[dax @thdxr]

our team uses gemini quite a bit now

whenever we have a tricky architectural problem, complex system design questions, or need to simplify something we ask for a gemini subagent

it's pretty good here. i don't see this talked about much

[Gabby Ong @hellogabbo]

Announcing Gemini 4 Carbon! It's an incredible experience working on this model

[Logan Kilpatrick @OfficialLoganK]

Introducing Gemini 4 Carbon, it's a big jump over Argon which we released just 2 weeks ago.

Gemini 4 Carbon is SOTA on cyber, long horizon tasks, ranks #1 on Artificial Analysis V5, significantly improves on usability in domains like coding, and is more aligned.

Excited to build with Gemini API CLI in Hermes, OpenClaw etc - one API for images, videos, tts, music makes it easy to manage

[Philipp Schmid @_philschmid]

We launched the Gemini API CLI. A CLI for calling the Gemini API. Give it to the agent you already use (Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes...). It's NOT a new coding agent you can use it too:

1. Generate images, video, speech, music.
2. Analyze PDFs, images, audio, video, YouTube URLs,
3. Transcribe recordings to md / json / srt,
4. Run Deep Research in the background.

Stateless. No memory, no chat mode. Your agent owns the context and the plan, gemini-api does the API call. Build for Agents, it's self-describing. `--help`, `--dry-run`...

@thorwebdev @SaadGH @jsconfmx @aiDotEngineer @ivanleomk Excited to have you both back here in Singapore!

Gemini 4 Argon Developer Guide 🧑‍💻

Here are a few tips when using Argon:

🎯 - Align on goals & intent upfront
🧪 - Give it a way to verify & test its work
🤖 - Have Argon delegate to Flash subagents
🔄 - Update rules & skills

[Cline @cline]

Gemini 4 Argon had the best launch day user share of any frontier model on Cline since June.

~3x as many users tried it on day one as Claude Opus 5.5 or Sonnet 5.5.

We're also seeing Argon using 30% fewer tokens on average than Claude models. It's a really efficient model!
