Probably an optional setting that cooks the hecks out of the rice with high heat and/or extra cooking time, and melts away and drains excess starches, reducing the total carb content of what you end up eating.

And where exactly are the carbs going? Vanishes into steam? I think this is marketing bullshit

the user manual describes it as a "Ceramic Coated Non-Stick Cooking Pot." it says the steam basket is stainless steel.

I wonder if they are using the Coconut oil and cooling method to reduce them.

This can be done with a normal rice cooker, the key is cooling the rice after cooking it with a small amount of coconut oil. There's medical studies that back this method up. The calories don't disappear from the food, but become resistant to digestion AFAIK.

It says in the product description that there's a special basket for reducing the carbs. There's probably a reservoir or area in the pot where the excess starch water drips down into, and you just pour it away after the cooking is done.

this is that "carb reducing tech"...
We've had this for almost 2 years now and as far as cooking rice is concerned, it works great! Doing the carb reducing mode (using the stainless steel pot with strainer), it lessens the chances of overwatering the rice leading to mushy porridge lol.
How significantly it reduced the carbs from the remaining cooked rice, it's hard to measure but the left over water is definitely starchy.
I love it for cooking rice that doesn't come out mushy

A simple way to reduce the glycemic index of rice is to freeze cooked rice and reheat it to eat. Freezing carbohydrates, including breads, converts some of the simple carbohydrates into resistant starch, i.e. starch that isn't readily absorbed in the small intestine and therefore doesn't spike blood sugar as badly.

The technique commonly used in parts of Asia and South Asia involves cooking rice in a much larger amount of water; about twice as much as you would use in a typical rice cooker. The rice is cooked in a regular pot until it's about 90% done, then the excess water, which contains most of the released starch, is drained off. After that, the rice is left to finish cooking over low heat until the remaining moisture evaporates.

I believe that's the technique they're trying to replicate here.
