Google announced the availability of Gemini 4 Carbon on October 28, initially offering it 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.

According to Google, Carbon is designed for complex tasks such as multi-step coding, debugging, and open-ended scientific research.

The pricing for Carbon starts at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, with these rates set to expire on November 30.

Google is also extending its program for 10,000 scientists, which began with Argon, to cover Carbon.

The company has not yet announced a peso price or a local rollout date for AI Ultra.

Gemini 4 Carbon is now available to developers, enterprises, scientists, and consumers, but within the Gemini app, it is reserved for AI Ultra subscribers.

Developers can access Carbon through the paid Gemini API, while Google's Antigravity coding platform is previewing a way to coordinate several agents on one task.

Google states that Carbon is built for jobs that require deeper thinking and longer problem-solving.

The Verge notes that Google has not specified when or if Carbon will reach AI Pro, AI Plus, or free users.

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.

Android Auto replaced the traditional Google Assistant experience with Gemini in April, but Personal Intelligence was not available until now.
