Unverified 'Gemini 4 Carbon' spotted in LM Arena, SVG output praised over Opus
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-10-22
An anonymous account tested a model labeled Gemini 4 Carbon in LM Arena, asking it to generate a Coca-Cola SVG; the output was called near-flawless, and arguably better than Opus given the Arena's bare-bones harness. teortaxesTex commented that Google's slow, data-hungry Gemini strategy may pay off — the very bet DeepSeek's Liang Wenfeng considers too hard and too slow, one only Google can afford. Model identity is unverified.
