llm-gemini 0.36
Gemini 4 Carbon is now broadly available, with launch pricing set to double on December 1.
Simon Willison’s llm-gemini 0.36 release adds access through his LLM plugin. Carbon launches at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, rising to $4 and $20. It offers low, medium and high thinking effort, with medium as the default. Willison also tested it in Google’s Antigravity IDE, producing a Three.js animation of Yonkers becoming a giant mech and stomping around New York City; a follow-up prompt yielded a standalone HTML file with no external dependencies.
