Google Releases Gemini 4 Carbon, Topping the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index but Not Yet Publicly Available
On October 28, Google released Gemini 4 Carbon, which topped the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v5.0 with a score of 59, surpassing Claude Opus 5.5's 58 and GPT-6 Astra's 57 to reclaim first place. The model is currently available only to a small number of cybersecurity defense personnel; when asked when ordinary developers and enterprises will be able to use it, officials responded only with "as soon as possible." On the GraphWalks ultra-long-context test, Carbon achieved 96.2% F1, far above GPT-6 Astra's 71.8% and Claude Opus 5.5's 66.8%; introductory pricing is $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, the same as the previous-generation Argon.
