Gemini 4 Carbon is out

🚨 Gemini 4 Carbon is out.

According to synthetic benchmarks, it’s now the best AI model in the world. The Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index seems to confirm that.

But will it actually be usable in practice? I seriously doubt it.

Remember when Gemini 4 Argon came out and everyone called it the ultimate AI killer? In reality, it turned out to be such a hallucinating piece of shit that even a grandma with dementia could probably reason better.

So I’d take all these impressive numbers with a massive grain of salt. Divide the hype by at least two.

I’m pretty sure Carbon won’t even come close to Tera or Sonnet in real-world use.

I genuinely have no idea who this is even for.

Table comparing benchmark scores of Gemini 4 Carbon, Gemini 4 Argon, GPT-6 Astra, Claude Opus 5.5, and Claude Fable 5.1. Gemini 4 Carbon leads in most tests like AA Index v5.0 (59), Vals Index v2.2 (70.4%), and SWE-sweep (9.6%), but the post questions its real-world usability.
