Tencent WorkBuddy Adds Google Gemini 4 Carbon, Pro Plan Only

The notable signal here is competitive positioning rather than the integration itself: a Tencent productivity product adopting a Google frontier model suggests capability sourcing is being treated as a differentiator, even inside China's own platform ecosystem. The Pro-only gate also frames Gemini 4 Carbon as a premium tier feature, which affects paying WorkBuddy subscribers most directly. Whether the model rolls out beyond Pro, and how Tencent balances third-party models against its own, is the open question worth watching.
