Briefings
Google released a new Gemini model version 0.36, initially intended for cyber defenders but now available to all users. The model features three pricing tiers for different thinking efforts, with high-effort prompting resulting in a 3D animation of a 'Yonkers' mech in Manhattan and Queens. The release date is November 10, 2026, and the model uses Google's Antigravity IDE for development.
Key points
- Gemini 0.36 is the latest version of the Gemini series, released on November 10, 2026, and initially restricted to cyber defenders before becoming public.
- The model offers three pricing tiers for different thinking efforts, with high-effort prompting resulting in a 3D animation of a 'Yonkers' mech in Manhattan and Queens using OpenStreetMap data.
Context
Google announced Gemini 4 Carbon two weeks prior to the release, targeting a subset of cyber defenders. The model is now available to everyone, priced at $2/million input and $10/million output, with a price increase to $4/$20 scheduled for December 1st.
Limitations
The evidence is limited to a single article snippet from November 10, 2026, which describes the release and initial pricing. It does not provide details on the model's performance benchmarks, training data sources, or long-term security implications for the general public.
