Google Launches Gemini 4 Carbon AI Model

Google has launched Gemini 4 Carbon, its latest AI model, which claims to have strong cybersecurity benchmarks. The model ranks first on version 5.0 of the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index with a score of 59.

Google reports significant gains in coding, agentic tasks, and cybersecurity defence. The model is built for complex, long-running engineering and coding tasks.

The company claims that Carbon produces secure code at more than twice the success rate of Gemini 4 Argon on internal benchmarks. The model has achieved 88.2% on SEC-bench Pro for finding vulnerabilities, 54.8% on ExploitGym for exploitation, and 71.0% on CWE-bench for patching.

Gemini 4 Carbon is initially available to a subset of cybersecurity defenders through Google's Fairwind Program. The pricing for Carbon is $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens.

The launch of Gemini 4 Carbon coincides with Alphabet's third-quarter earnings report, which shows a 25% increase in revenue to $127.58 billion and a 103% growth in Google Cloud revenue to $30.71 billion.
