Google reportedly prepping new Gemini models Carbon and Argon weeks after Gemini 4
haider1 · x · 2026-10-21
A rumor circulating on X claims Google is already preparing its next models less than a month after Gemini 4's release. The guess: Carbon is a smaller model (Flash or Pro tier), while Argon is Google's equivalent of astra/fable. Sergey Brin appears to be pushing the release pace, though the author doubts a substantial capability jump will come this soon.
