Google has released its Gemini 4 Carbon large language model to the public, following an initial period where it was only available to a select group of cyber defenders. The model is now accessible to all users at a starting price of $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens. These prices are set to increase to $4 and $20 respectively on December 1. Gemini 4 Carbon has demonstrated the ability to generate complex 3D animations and browser games using coding tools like Three.js and WebGL.
