Gemini 4 Carbon API migration causes errors and timeouts for developers

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Developers migrating to Google's Gemini 4 Carbon API are encountering issues with 400 errors, timeouts, and output limits. The API's request schema differs from previous versions, with certain values now failing validation. Specific parameters like temperature, top_p, and top_k are ignored, and output limits are stricter when using the OpenAI compatibility layer compared to Google's native long-decode path. Billing also includes 'thinking tokens' and cancelled work, with potential price increases on the horizon. AI
