Platform facts are the Gemini API listing's (gemini-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. Status page at aistudio.google.com/status with no readable components or history (10 of 20) and no readable incident record (5 of 30). Rate-limit tiers and spend limits published, per-model limits in AI Studio (5 of 15). Backoff guidance for 429 and 503 and SDK retries (15). No SLA (0). Carbon's launch stage isn't stated in Google's developer post, the Antigravity post or the Cloud developer guide read on 10 November, and the model ID carries no preview label, so half (5 of 10, a judgement call; Argon's GA earned the platform 10). 10 + 5 + 5 + 15 + 0 + 5 = 40.\n- Together AI Inference (75): Graded as listed, on the hosted API lines. Public Better Stack status page at status.together.ai with a component for each serverless model plus the website and playground (20). The page shows 90 daily ticks per component, read on 1 November 2026 for 4 August to 1 November, and no incident was posted in that time (the feed's newest items are maintenance windows in April and July 2026). Monitors record downtime on single models, the longest Kimi K3 for 7 hours 18 minutes on 22 August and Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B for 5 hours 34 minutes on 13 August, and on the busiest days five of about 20 monitored models were down for up to 1 hour 40 minutes (14 October) or about 20 minutes (1 September). Each hit one model or a subset of the catalogue, so the record reads as minor incidents only (20). The current serverless page gives no numeric general request ceiling (0). Explicit 429 and 503 backoff guidance (15). Provisioned throughput has a published 99% eligible-request commitment (10). Serverless inference is generally available (10). 20 + 20 + 0 + 15 + 10 + 10 = 75.\n\n### Maintenance \u0026 community: Gemini 4 Carbon +18\n\n- Gemini 4 Carbon (83): Model reading for gemini-4-carbon on the Gemini API. Platform facts are the Gemini API listing's (gemini-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. Released to developers on 10 November 2026, with the platform's changelog (30). Deprecations with earliest dates and no stated minimum notice (4 of 12). Shutdowns in the last 90 days kept to their table (4 of 8). Dated changelog (15). SDK replies not sampled (5 of 10). Current SDKs (15). Runtimes stated (10). 30 + 4 + 4 + 15 + 5 + 15 + 10 = 83.\n- Together AI Inference (65): Graded as listed, on the tool lines. Changelog entries on 22 and 23 October 2026 (Python SDK 3.0, TypeScript SDK 1.0, MiniMax M3.1 Flash on serverless and post-training) (30). 43 dated changelog days and 16 Python SDK tags from 3 August, v2.33.1 to v3.0.0 (20). Support responsiveness not tested (0). Official Python and TypeScript SDKs, both given new majors on 22 October (15). Dependency and CI health not audited (0).\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: Together AI Inference +15\n\n- Gemini 4 Carbon (55): Model reading for gemini-4-carbon on the Gemini API. Platform facts are the Gemini API listing's (gemini-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. Keys bound to a service account and restricted to the Gemini API, with no scopes and a token accepted in the URL (15 of 30, the platform's deduction). Carbon is on the paid tier only, and Google's terms say paid-tier content isn't used to improve products; AI Studio use under a Google AI Ultra subscription falls under terms we didn't read, so 15 of 20 (a judgement call; the platform's 10 is for its free tier). Abuse retention with no number, and new paid projects store requests by default since 26 October (5 of 15). Request logs for billed projects (15). security.txt and a reward programme, no certification naming the API (5 of 20). 15 + 15 + 5 + 15 + 5 = 55.\n- Together AI Inference (70): Project-scoped, revocable keys with optional expiry and rotation guidance (30). Project boundaries but keys can access all project resources and lack per-key spend limits (10 of 20). No inference prompt-injection mitigation established (0). Per-key cost and usage attribution (15). Published security.txt with a future expiry and HackerOne disclosure route (15 of 20).\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: Together AI Inference +8\n\n- Gemini 4 Carbon (85): Model reading for gemini-4-carbon on the Gemini API. Platform facts are the Gemini API listing's (gemini-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. Discovery document for GenerateContent (20 of 25). llms.txt with Markdown twins (10). The Cloud developer guide says what Carbon takes and refuses, the parameters that return 400 or are ignored, and how to migrate (15 of 20). Structured output to a JSON Schema with some keywords not enforced (10 of 15). Examples and an errors page (15). Dated changelog and model versions (15). 20 + 10 + 15 + 10 + 15 + 15 = 85.\n- Together AI Inference (93): Public OpenAPI 3.1 (25), llms.txt and Markdown docs (10), endpoint and model-capability guidance (16 of 20), typed inputs and constraints (13 of 15), examples and documented errors (14 of 15), and versioned endpoints with a dated changelog (15).\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Gemini 4 Carbon +8\n\n- Gemini 4 Carbon (93): Model reading for gemini-4-carbon on the Gemini API. Platform facts are the Gemini API listing's (gemini-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. Function calling, with forced calls by FunctionCallingConfig on the API (20). Structured output (13 of 15). Implicit caching with durable caching on by default, cached input 95% off, explicit caches not supported, per the Cloud guide read on 10 November (15). 1,048,576 tokens shared between input and output (15). Batch at half price on the platform (10). Python and JavaScript SDKs (10). Error codes with backoff guidance (10 of 15). 20 + 13 + 15 + 15 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 93.\n- Together AI Inference (85): Compact model API with bounded output (25). Token controls, streaming, structured outputs and batch options (20). Actionable error documentation (20). Transient retry guidance but no general inference deduplication guarantee found (5 of 20). Official Python and TypeScript SDKs and defaults (15).\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Gemini 4 Carbon | Together AI Inference | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 40 | 75 | Together AI Inference +35 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 85 | 93 | Together AI Inference +8 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 93 | 85 | Gemini 4 Carbon +8 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 55 | 70 | Together AI Inference +15 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 20 | 20 | even |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 83 | 65 | Gemini 4 Carbon +18 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 72 | 74 | Together AI Inference +2 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | -3 | |\n| **Total** | | **62.6 · B** | **67.8 · B** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Gemini 4 Carbon | Together AI Inference |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Model API | HTTP API |\n| Vendor | Google | Together Computer, Inc. |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta` | `https://api.together.ai/v1` |\n| Transports | | HTTP |\n| Auth | API key | API key |\n| Pricing | Pay per use | Paid |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Closed model, used through the Gemini API and Google's apps under Google's terms | Proprietary hosted service.

Paid tier only, sampling parameters are ignored or refused, its launch stage isn't stated, and the price rises to $4 and $20 at a date Google hasn't given.\n\n**Together AI Inference.** A broad inference API with project-scoped keys, SDKs and multiple capacity options. Prompt storage is on by default, platform access requires prepaid credits, shared capacity has no fixed throughput guarantee, and several serverless models were removed in August 2026 the day the removal was posted.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Gemini 4 Carbon\n\n1. Call generateContent at https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta with model gemini-4-carbon and an x-goog-api-key on a billed project\n2. Set thinking_level (LOW, MEDIUM or HIGH) instead of thinking_budget, and don't send temperature, top_p or top_k\n3. Count output against the same 1,048,576-token limit as the input, and set max_output_tokens for long answers\n4. Put static prompt content first so implicit caching applies; explicit caches aren't supported\n5. Use gemini-4-argon for most coding and knowledge work, and Carbon for the hardest long tasks, as Google suggests\n\n### Together AI Inference\n\n1. Create a project-scoped key and set TOGETHER_API_KEY. Avoid deprecated legacy keys.\n2. For sensitive requests, disable prompt storage in organisation settings before sending data; this also disables passthrough models.\n3. Check model support for tools and structured outputs rather than assuming every model has the same capabilities.\n4. Back off on 429 and 503 responses. Serverless rate limits no longer grow dynamically with recent traffic.\n5. Check the deprecation schedule before choosing a model. Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B leaves serverless on 4 November and MiniMax M3 and Inkling on 6 November 2026.\n6. Pin the SDK major version. Python SDK 3.0 and TypeScript SDK 1.0 (22 October 2026) drop `/v1` from the base URL and the `beta` paths\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Gemini 4 Carbon or Together AI Inference?\n\nTogether AI Inference scores 67.8 (B) on agent readiness against Gemini 4 Carbon's 62.6 (B), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Gemini 4 Carbon leads on agent ergonomics and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Do Gemini 4 Carbon and Together AI Inference need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Gemini 4 Carbon and Together AI Inference without installing anything?\n\nYes.
