Gemini app screenshot reveals unconfirmed '4 Carbon' top-tier model slot
DrCataclysm · reddit · 2026-11-11
A Reddit user posted a Gemini app screenshot showing a new tiered model picker: Quick answers (3.5 Flash-Lite), 3.8 Flash, Code & analysis (4 Argon), and Most complex work (4 Carbon), plus a 'Denkaufwand' (thinking effort) control.
The '4 Carbon' and '4 Argon' names have never appeared on official channels, making this an unverified leak that lines up with a circulating Artificial Analysis chart placing Gemini 4 Carbon at the top of its Intelligence Index — though it could also be a mockup or experiment, pending official confirmation.
