Latest update (11-10 12:39): Perplexity makes Gemini 4 Carbon available in Computer and Search

Overview: Perplexity says Gemini 4 Carbon is available to Pro and Max subscribers in Perplexity Computer, where users can create persistent Teammates or run one-off agentic sessions. A later Perplexity post says Carbon is also available in Search, but only for Max subscribers.

CEO Aravind Srinivas says Carbon costs 2.5x less than Claude Fable 5.2 with similar capabilities on agentic research tasks. His chart shows Carbon scoring 0.857 on the WANDR benchmark at $5.86 per task, against 0.851 and $14.51 for Claude Fable 5.2. These are Srinivas's figures, and the reports include no independent evaluation.
