Google launches Gemini 4 Carbon AI model with cybersecurity focus
The model is designed to handle complex, long-running engineering and coding tasks
Alphabet's Google unveiled Gemini 4 Carbon, its newest frontier AI model, on Wednesday, intensifying the competition with OpenAI and Anthropic in the development of advanced coding and cybersecurity systems. This launch follows Google's introduction of Gemini 4 Argon two weeks prior, as the company broadens its Gemini series of AI models for developers and enterprise clients.
According to Google, the Carbon model demonstrates state-of-the-art performance in cybersecurity tasks, such as vulnerability detection, exploitation, and software patching. The company reported that Carbon generates secure code at a success rate more than double that of Gemini 4 Argon on internal benchmarks. Designed to manage intricate, prolonged engineering and coding tasks, Carbon is initially available to a select group of cybersecurity defenders through Google's Fairwind Program while the company continues testing safety measures.
Priced at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, mirroring Gemini 4 Argon's initial pricing, Google aims to maintain competitive affordability.
