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:

A lovely pelican. Looks like it has a monocle on. Nice elegant sailor hat with a blue bow. Basket and fish. Funky but workable bicycle design. Pleasing use of gradients.

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:
