New model in the app

Google has made Gemini 4 Carbon, which it previewed at the end of last month, available in the Gemini app. The company moved the model into the app after the preview phase.

Who can use it

The new model is initially offered to AI Ultra subscribers. Users on Google's top subscription tier can access Carbon through the Gemini app.

Argon stays

The previous Argon model remains available. Carbon does not fully replace Argon; the two models will be offered side by side for a while.

What it means

This reflects the version transition in Google's flagship model family reaching the app. For users, the practical result is that the newest model is directly accessible in the app.
