Gemini 4 Carbon's Early Access Program has reportedly started: partners have access and the model is being tested in LMArena, with release said to be close. It is noticeably better than Gemini 4 Argon at 3D generation, though frontend/UI generation remains weak; it's slower but less lazy. The attached EAP page shows the program is invite-only, separate from Vertex AI, and bars public disclosure of unreleased models during early access.
