Gemini 4 Carbon: Our next frontier model
Carbon’s rollout starts with selected cyber defenders; broader access has no firm date.
Google DeepMind reports leading scores for finding vulnerabilities, validating exploits and patching flaws, with those benchmarks evaluated without guardrails. Its internal teams say Carbon can sustain engineering tasks for days and produces fewer unsupported claims than Gemini 4 Argon. Access will expand gradually through the Fairwind Program while Google gathers feedback and adjusts safeguards. Announced introductory pricing matches Argon: $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens.
