Perplexity Adds Gemini 4 Carbon to Perplexity Computer for Pro and Max

Perplexity added Google’s Gemini 4 Carbon to Perplexity Computer on Nov. 10, giving Pro and Max subscribers access to the model for multi-step agent tasks and extending Search access to Max users.

Within Computer, subscribers can use Carbon with persistent Teammates or in individual agent sessions. Perplexity Computer coordinates specialized models for tasks, while Carbon is designed for work that unfolds over multiple steps.

Carbon scored 0.857 on Perplexity’s Wide-And-Deep-Research (WANDR) benchmark, compared with 0.735 for GPT-6 Astra. Perplexity developed the benchmark, so the scores reflect results on the company’s own evaluation.

Perplexity Computer launched in February 2026, initially focusing on Max subscribers. That plan costs $200 per month. The addition brings Carbon to Pro subscribers within Computer, while Max members can also use the model in Search.

Google began a global rollout of Carbon on Nov. 11 through its Gemini API and Gemini Enterprise.
