TL;DR
- Google has introduced its latest frontier model — Gemini 4 Carbon.
- Carbon improves upon coding, agentic and scientific tasks, full-stack web development, and multimodal understanding. However, cybersecurity is where it makes its biggest leap.
- The model initially will be released to a subset of cyber defenders before eventually rolling out to developers, businesses, and consumers.
- Carbon will be available at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, with cached input tokens priced at 95% off the input token price.
About a month ago, Google teased us with its next frontier model — Gemini 4 Argon. Two weeks ago, that model saw the light of day as it finally rolled out for everyday users. While two weeks may not sound all that long, time moves a little faster in the world of AI. Google is now teasing us once again with a brand new frontier model.
The latest AI model to come from the minds over there at the Mountain View-based firm is called Gemini 4 Carbon. According to Google, Carbon improves upon coding, agentic and scientific tasks, full-stack web development, and multimodal understanding. Carbon is said to outperform most other models, capturing the number one spot on version 5.0 of the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index. However, cybersecurity is where Carbon really shines.
