Google has unveiled Gemini 4 Carbon, which it calls its strongest frontier model, just two weeks after launching Gemini 4 Argon. The company says the model offers state-of-the-art cybersecurity and long-horizon capabilities. Google credited its researchers and AI models with “working hand in hand to advance capabilities faster.”
What Is Gemini 4 Carbon’s Score on the Intelligence Index?
Gemini 4 Carbon ranks first on version 5.0 of the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index with a score of 59. Google said the upgrades followed user feedback on its previous release.
Google also claims an 89-point jump to fourth place on the WebDev Arena leaderboard. The gains came in full-stack web development, scientific tasks and multimodal understanding.
How Did Gemini 4 Carbon Perform in Cybersecurity Tests?
- SEC-bench Pro (finding vulnerabilities): 88.2%
- ExploitGym (exploitation): 54.8%
- CWE-bench (patching): 71%
Google says the model holds a “firm lead” in these cybersecurity benchmarks. The company also reports a strong uplift in generating secure code on its internal benchmarks.
Does Gemini 4 Carbon Make Fewer Errors Than Argon?
Google says internal testing shows Carbon cuts unsupported claims by approximately half compared with Argon. In live coding environments with its own teams, the company reports reduced misalignment and fabrication rates.
During multi-step workflows, the model reduces task overreach by 26% and under-service by 29%. It also retrieves relevant sources and surfaces discrepancies to users when facing ambiguity.
What Will Gemini 4 Carbon Cost Developers?
Introductory pricing is US$2 per 1 million input tokens and US$10 per 1 million output tokens. Cached input tokens are discounted by 95%.
Standard pricing rises to US$4 per 1 million input tokens and US$20 per 1 million output tokens. That doubles both rates. Google will first release the model to cybersecurity defenders this week, before rolling it out to developers, businesses and consumers.
What Does Gemini 4 Carbon Mean for Bursa Malaysia Investors?
The announcement names no Bursa Malaysia-listed company and gives no earnings or share-price figures. All pricing is quoted in US dollars, with no ringgit conversion.
Investors may want to watch how the staged rollout and the price change from introductory to standard affect demand for AI tools. Readers tracking AI-linked names can also review our AI Stock Analysis for Malaysians guide.
