🚨重磅！Gemini 4 Carbon 早期访问已正式启动！发布窗口期近在眼前？ 最新迹象如下： 🔹EAP 已开启，合作伙伴已拿到早期权限 🔹正在 LMArena（http://Arena.ai）公开测试中 🔹3D 任务表现明显强于当前 Argon 🔹前端/UI 仍是短板，速度更慢但更不懒，指令跟随更好 🔹此前内部员工反馈编码能力接近 Opus 5.5 级别 Argon 刚铺开，Carbon 就来了，Google 这波迭代速度直接拉满！ 你觉得它能反超 Opus 5.5 吗？ 详见：https://aistudio.google.com/docs/eap #Gemini4 #Gemini4Carbon…

Looks like Google is not going to slow the momentum down. We are going to get Gemini 4 Carbon soon ! Google seems to be going after the top position, at least Opus-5.5 level. Since Claude is also prepping another fable release, this will be interesting to see how much ahead it might pull.
