Google announced the availability of Gemini 4 Carbon on October 28, initially rolling it out to cybersecurity defenders through its Fairwind Program.
The model is now accessible to paying developers and enterprises through the Gemini API in Google AI Studio and Gemini for business.
In the Gemini app, Carbon is available exclusively to AI Ultra subscribers, while it is also rolling out to AI Mode in Search and the Google Antigravity development platform.
The introductory pricing for Carbon is $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, with these rates set to expire on November 30.
Google is extending its program for 10,000 scientists, which began with the Argon model, to cover Carbon.
The company has not announced a peso price or a local rollout date for AI Ultra, as noted when it cut free access to Flash-Lite on October 9.
Gemini 4 Carbon is designed for complex tasks such as multi-step coding, debugging, and open-ended scientific research, while Argon remains the better choice for most software engineering and knowledge work.
Google is also making its in-car AI assistant more personal by letting Gemini draw on information from connected Google apps, including Gmail, Calendar, Maps, Photos, YouTube, and Search.
Personal Intelligence requires users to choose which apps to connect, and Google plans to roll out Gemini to children under 13 with Family Link accounts.
What this adds
Google's expansion of Gemini 4 Carbon access follows its initial release to select cybersecurity defense companies in late October.
Google's plans to extend access to Workspace Business, Enterprise Standard, and Plus are expected to roll out gradually.
