## Summary

Ethan Mollick says he had early access to Gemini 4 Carbon, which he calls a very good model that improves on Argon. He says it thinks differently than Claude and GPT while remaining highly capable, with its own strengths and weaknesses. He reports that Carbon reproduced a video clip he supplied as a Three.js demo.

Had early access to Gemini 4 Carbon, it is a very good model that improves on Argon. It is useful to have an AI that thinks differently than Claude/GPT & is still highly capable, but has its own strengths & weakness

One fun demo: I gave Carbon a video clip & it reproduced in 3js
