Google testing Agent Swarm mode for Antigravity

BREAKING 🔥: Google is developing a new Agent Swarm mode for Antigravity, where agents coordinate through a shared message board.

Remember Huggingface incident? 👀

> /swarm would appear as a new command, opening a Swarm dashboard to monitor Agent coordination, communication, and relationships.

> The notice warns about high quota consumption, obviously.

This mode can potentially push the performance of Google's models even further, so they would have a chance to overtake Fable 5.2.

This isn't the first experiment with "parallelization," as we have seen similar offerings from other labs, as well as internal experimentation on Google's side last year.

The Antigravity team have been teasing "more releases to arrive this week".

Besides that, we expect Gemini 4 Carbon to be rolled out today as well.

/swarm would be a nice addition! 🤖

🗞 #google @testingcatalog

GOOGLE 🔥: Gemini 4 Carbon in Google AI Studio will require a Google AI Ultra plan or an API Key, according to an updated "upgrade" pop-up.

> "Gemini 4 Carbon needs a Google AI Ultra plan or a Gemini API key."

This means that we will see Carbon released for Ultra users and on the APIs at least!

* Mind that Gemini 4 Argon was expected to be the same - we may still see Gemini 4 Carbon on the Gemini app for Pro users as well right away.

GOOGLE 🔥: Gemini 4 Carbon Low, Medium, and High variants have been added to the latest Antigravity build.

* Not available publicly yet 👀

Google announced a new Gemini Robotics 2.5 model for physical AI.

> This model was built with support from the Gemini 4 Argon model.

> In a POC with Apptronik and Mercedes-Benz, Gemini Robotics 2.5 helped the Apollo 2 robot pick and organize car parts for assembly with 96% accuracy.

BREAKING 🔥: Gemini 4 Carbon is rolling out on Google Cloud Platform and is already available on Agent Studio!

> "Our most capable model for deep work, with frontier performance on long-horizon agentic coding, enterprise knowledge work, and scientific reasoning, and a 1M output token limit."

Testing time! 👀
