In Short: Today, Google announced the availability of Gemini 4 Carbon to developers, enterprises, and consumers through the Gemini app and AI Mode in Google Search, following its initial release to cybersecurity defenders two weeks ago.

Gemini 4 Carbon is now accessible via the API in Google AI Studio and Gemini for business, priced at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, the same as Gemini 4 Argon.

According to Google, Carbon is the strongest model with frontier performance in cybersecurity capabilities and long-horizon agentic workflows, suitable for complex knowledge work, software engineering, and scientific reasoning.

Developers can use Carbon for roles that demand deep reasoning, such as architectural design, coordination, and auditing, while pairing it with faster, lighter models for parallel isolated workspaces and adversarial verifiers.

Carbon uses more tokens on hard problems, making costly tasks exceed the per-token rate, as noted by SQ Magazine.

According to Google, Carbon is currently the best model available for cybersecurity tasks and excels at lengthy, complex coding projects.

Carbon leads several important AI tests, including SEC-bench Pro, ExploitGym, and CWE-bench, according to Google's published benchmark results.

What this adds

Background

What's confirmed

• Today, we’re making Gemini 4 Carbon available to developers, enterprises, scientists, and consumers.
• Gemini 4 Carbon is available via the API in Google AI Studio and Gemini for business for all paying developers and enterprises, at the same introductory price 1 as Gemini 4 Argon ($2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens).
• Carbon is our strongest model with frontier performance in cybersecurity capabilities and long-horizon agentic workflows across complex knowledge work, software engineering, and scientific reasoning.
• To put Carbon’s capabilities to work on larger and complex projects, we’re previewing /swarm in Google Antigravity, turning a single prompt into a coordinated team of agents you can track in real time.
• Developers can assign Carbon to roles that demand the deepest reasoning, like architectural design, coordination, and auditing, while pairing it with faster, lighter models across parallel isolated workspaces and adversarial verifiers that test every change.
• Argon remains the ideal choice for the majority of software engineering and knowledge work, while Carbon is built for tasks that test the limits of a model’s intelligence like complex, multi-step coding and debugging and open-ended scientific research and discovery — using more tokens than Argon to explore thoroughly, reason deeply, and run extended verification loops.
• Two weeks ago, we released Carbon to a set of cybersecurity defenders via our Fairwind Program.
• Following our recent launch of Gemini 4 Argon, Carbon pushes the frontier even further.
• If you’re a Google AI Ultra subscriber, Carbon is rolling out to you in the Gemini app, AI Mode in Search, and Google Antigravity.
• Following the launch of Argon two weeks ago, Google today announced Gemini 4 Carbon as its next frontier model.

What's still developing

• Across independent benchmarks designed to test model performance in real workflows, Carbon pairs frontier accuracy with practical production economics.
• BENGALURU, India, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Altimetrik, an AI engineering company, has launched new industry-specific AI capabilities built on Google Cloud's Gemini for healthcare to automate complex enterprise workflows.
• Glenn Gabe has been testing it and wrote on X, "I've been testing Carbon as part of the @GeminiApp early access program. It's insanely powerful. E.g. I used it to build a new version of one of my favorite Atari 2600 games, Pitfall. I did that via one prompt. It took a few minutes and it worked perfectly. :) -> Google rolls out Gemini 4 Carbon to paid API and AI Ultra users two weeks after releasing it to cyber defenders, and previews a swarm feature in Antigravity."
• According to Google, Carbon is built for jobs that need deeper thinking and longer problem-solving.
• Google is rolling out its latest AI model, Gemini 4 Carbon, to the general public after releasing it to a select group of “cybersecurity defenders” two weeks ago.
• Google has unveiled Gemini 4 Carbon, its latest artificial intelligence (AI) model, which ranks first on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index with a score of 59 and shows improved capabilities in detecting software vulnerabilities, exploiting them for testing and developing fixes.
• In an announcement on Wednesday, Google highlights Carbon's top spot on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index (v5.0)… Published 3 دن قبل on اکتوبر 31 2026، 5:00 صبح By Web Desk Google has released its latest frontier model, Gemini 4 Carbon, offering “significant gains” in coding, agentic tasks, and cybersecurity.
• The latest AI model to come from the minds over there at the Mountain View-based firm is called Gemini 4 Carbon.
• Carbon claims the top position on v5.0 of the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index and outperforms multiple competing industry systems across key technical benchmarks.
• Carbon achieves over double the success rate of Gemini 4 Argon in generating secure code according to internal benchmarks.
