Google Unveils Gemini 4 Carbon, Its Strongest Model Yet, and Gives Cyber Defenders First Access

Google announced Gemini 4 Carbon, which it calls its strongest model, and says it ranks first on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index with a score of 59. Access starts with a subset of cyber defenders, then trusted partners, with developers and consumers later. Introductory pricing is $2 and $10 per million tokens, and Google says many of its figures are internal and unverified.
