Google announces Gemini 4 Carbon frontier model focused on cybersecurity

Google released Gemini 4 Carbon as its strongest frontier model, achieving the top score of 59 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v5.0 and leading cybersecurity benchmarks including 88.2% on SEC-bench Pro for vulnerability discovery. The model is initially available only to selected cybersecurity defenders via the Fairwind program at introductory pricing of $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens. This rapid follow-on to Gemini 4 Argon two weeks earlier demonstrates accelerated iteration on agentic coding and long-horizon tasks with measurable gains in secure code generation.
