Latest update (11-10 20:47): Databricks adds Gemini 4 Carbon to Unity Gateway on launch day

Overview: Databricks makes Google's Gemini 4 Carbon available on its platform the same day the model opens to developers. Databricks describes Carbon as Google's strongest model for complex coding, scientific reasoning, and long-running agent workflows.

In Databricks' own enterprise-document testing, Carbon scores 66.7% on OfficeQA Pro v2, against 57.8% for Gemini 4 Argon, the previous best Gemini model Databricks tested. Databricks says these are its own results, not an independent benchmark.

Databricks' Unity Gateway manages access, usage limits, and spend tracking for Carbon and other models. Ali Ghodsi, Databricks' CEO, repeated the launch-day availability and benchmark figures in a post on X.
