llm-gemini 0.36

Google made Gemini 4 Carbon available to all users on November 10, 2026, two weeks after announcing it for "a subset of cyber defenders," and Simon Willison shipped llm-gemini 0.36 to support it. The model launched at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens — matching GPT-6.1 Sol and Claude Sonnet 5.5 pricing — with prices scheduled to double to $4/$20 on December 1st, the same as Opus 5.5. Willison tested Gemini 4 Carbon's low, medium and high thinking efforts with pelican prompts and used Google's Antigravity IDE to generate a Three.js animation of Yonkers as a mech stomping through Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn from OpenStreetMap data.

Release: llm-gemini 0.36 Gemini 4 Carbon was announced two weeks ago for "a subset of cyber defenders", but today it's available to everyone else.

This is Google's best ever Gemini, priced at $2/million input and $10/million output at launch (that's GPT-6.1 Sol / Claude Sonnet 5.5 prices) but scheduled to double in price to $4/$20 on December 1st (same as Opus 5.5).

Here are three pelicans for the low, medium and high thinking efforts (it defaults to medium). This is the pelican I got for high:

Gemini pelicans have all been great for a while now, so I also tested it out using Google's Antigravity IDE with a prompt I first tried with Claude Fable 5.2 yesterday:

Make a three js animation where yonkers stands up as a big mech (cool stand up motion) and stomps around manhattan and queens and Brooklyn, use openstreetmap mapping data

Here's the HTML result (I had to prompt "build that into a standalone HTML file" to get a version with no external dependencies). I then screen-captured that as a video:
