Gemini 4 Carbon: 59 Points and a $2/$10 Intro Price Open Source Factory · October 29, 2026 · Launch analysis and original cost calculations Watch the English motion graphic English conceptual motion graphic; not a Carbon recording or hands-on test. Animation, newly composed original music and sound design: Open Source Factory. Facts: Google and Artificial Analysis, linked below. The line I keep coming back to in Google's Carbon announcement is the pricing footnote: the introductory rates will eventually double. A model can look attractive on launch day and produce a very different budget later. That matters especially when the pitch is work that keeps running for hours or days.

Those are useful facts, but they answer different questions: capability, availability and the cost of actually fin...

GPT-6.1 Terra: What It Does, Who Gets It, What It Costs Open Source Factory · October 27, 2026 · Source-based analysis Watch the English video English motion graphic: an illustrated see–act–verify workflow, not a recorded Terra test. Motion graphics, original music and sound design: Open Source Factory. The detail I kept coming back to in the Terra launch was where you can use it. GPT-6.1 Terra arrived on October 26, but looking for it in ordinary Chat will get you nowhere. It is available in Work and Codex. That distinction tells you a lot about the job OpenAI wants it to do. The official rollout note places images, screens and actions together. My interest is practical: can it read something on screen, make the right change, and leave a result I can verify? The release makes Terra worth trying for that loop. It does not, by itself, establish how reliably Terra completes your own work. This is a source-based launch analysis, with my own cost calculations and a proposed test protoc...
