Google DeepMind showed Gemini 4 Argon combining three open datasets into an interactive 3D anatomy viewer where you can switch layers, isolate muscles and zoom inside a beating heart. Separately, and only a rumour for now: @Mr_Salio and others claim a newer 'Gemini 4 Carbon' is being tested on LMArena with early access for partners, which Google hasn't confirmed.

Why it mattersThe demo is a good prompt idea: ask Gemini to turn your own data, product or process into an interactive explainer. Don't plan anything around Carbon until Google announces it.
