Google launches Gemini 4 Carbon with a ‘significant leap’ in cybersecurity

Google has released its latest model, Gemini 4 Carbon, which excels in coding, agentic tasks, and cybersecurity. It tops the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index (v5.0) benchmark and outperforms top models from OpenAI and Anthropic on some benchmarks. Gemini 4 Carbon has improvements over Argon, a model released earlier this month, and is currently only available to select cybersecurity defense companies. It will eventually expand to other partners in the Fairwind Program. The model offers a 'significant leap' in cyberdefense, making it better at finding vulnerabilities and generating secure code. It also excels in completing longer tasks, avoiding shortcuts, resisting prompt injection attacks, and collaborating with users. Additionally, it provides more 'transparency and honesty' by cutting 'unsupported claims' by two times compared to Argon. The model will be available at the same price as Argon, at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens.
