Google has released Gemini 4 Carbon, a frontier model aimed at cybersecurity and long-horizon coding tasks, topping 15 of Google's own 17 benchmarks, but it has not yet been made public and is available only to some cybersecurity defenders. It scores 59 on Artificial Analysis' Intelligence Index, surpassing Claude Opus 5.5 and up 9 points from Argon four weeks ago; on long-input reasoning it leads OpenAI Astra and Opus by 24 points. The introductory API price is $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, half that of Opus 5.5, doubling after the discount period to Opus's rates. Google has not announced when it will broaden access.

Google announced the results of its Gemini classroom research in the UK and Italy: a 10-week randomized controlled trial in the UK covering more than 1,100 students aged 12 to 15 found that AI tutoring performed similarly to human tutoring on platform tasks and quizzes, but showed no improvement on the STAR standardized test. A study of 31 schools and 1,600 teachers in Italy showed that after teachers used Gemini to co-design lessons, traditional lecturing decreased by 38%, student-led collaborative learning nearly tripled, and student engagement rose from 77% to 84%.

Alphabet's quarterly revenue was $127.6 billion, up 25% year-over-year, but earnings per share of $2.12 fell short of the expected approximately $3.01, and the stock fell more than 10% after hours. Chief Business Officer Philipp Schindler said that AI Mode's monetization capability per query is lower than traditional search, which is one of the reasons why search revenue growth slowed from 17% to 12%. Capital expenditures this quarter reached $51.4 billion, free cash flow was negative $9.1 billion, and Google Cloud revenue rose to $30.71 billion.

Google DeepMind has released Genie 4, a new-generation world model that can generate interactive environments in real time and collaborates with Gemini 3.8 Flash through a division of labor: the latter observes the visuals, decomposes tasks, and adjusts plans. Leiphone.com analyzes its technical challenges from three aspects—dynamic language condition injection, Agent causal hallucination, and dual-model asynchronous collaboration—and notes that DeepMind has not yet disclosed the network architecture or scheduling implementation of Genie 4.

Google has released the Connected Apps Platform, allowing enterprises and developers to submit their own apps for integration with Gemini and Google Search, and to choose to launch on only one or both. The platform is currently available in beta preview to US developers; after launch, it will allow tracking of traffic, latency, and error rates, while retaining brand identity and verified accounts. Gemini already has more than 50 Connected Apps, including partners such as Adobe, Experian, Localiza, and Peloton; these apps will enter Google Search in the coming weeks. The meditation app Calm will also launch on Gemini and Search.

Google has released Gemini 4 Carbon, just two weeks after the release of the previous-generation frontier model Gemini 4 Argon. According to Google, Carbon surpassed Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 to take first place on Artificial Analysis's Intelligence Index, while Argon had previously ranked only sixth. Carbon mainly improves complex coding tasks and cybersecurity capabilities, scoring 88.2% on SEC-bench Pro, higher than Argon's 83.4% and OpenAI GPT-6 Astra's 85.4%; however, it still trails Claude Opus 5.5 on the Coding Agent Index, Terminal-Bench, and Frontiercode. Currently, Carbon is available only to selected users such as cybersecurity defense experts, and will be opened to developers, enterprises, and consumers only after passing the U.S. government's voluntary pre-review process.

Google DeepMind has released the Genie 4 world model as a research preview to trusted testers; it can generate explorable worlds in real time from text and image prompts, and natively generate ambient sound, music, and character dialogue. The model introduces Gemini 3.8 Flash as a planner within the simulation loop, responsible for breaking down goals, inspecting frames, and replanning, which DeepMind calls an early step toward hybrid world models. Genie 4 is hosted only on Google's platform and will later be opened to AI Ultra users and Gemini API partners; all video and audio carry SynthID watermarks.

Google has officially released the world model Genie 4, which it calls its most realistic and interactive world model to date. Users can dynamically change the world with prompts and generate scenes with native audio. The model will first be opened to Trusted Testers as a research preview, and will subsequently be made available via the Gemini API and AI Studio to Google AI Ultra subscribers and early access partners.
Google DeepMind has released the world model Genie 4, which supports real-time text-based scene modification, native ambient sound, and interactive dialogue, with Gemini 3.8 Flash serving as the real-time director in the background. The author says it no longer pre-renders video, but instead simulates physical collisions in real time and dynamically loads scenes as the player acts. Currently, the limit for a single simulation is about two minutes; over time, details will drift, and it is only a research preview available to a small number of testers.

Google DeepMind has officially released the world model Genie 4, which supports real-time text-based scene changes, comes with native ambient sound and interactive dialogue, and has Gemini 3.8 Flash serving as the behind-the-scenes director. Unlike pre-rendered video models, Genie 4 simulates physical collisions in real time as the player acts within the scene, and a single simulation can remain continuously stable for about two minutes. The author believes its real purpose is to provide a low-cost physical training ground for embodied agents, but it is currently still a research preview available to only a few testers, and details drift over time.

Google's TPUs will run on a hyperscale cloud outside Google for the first time, with Oracle deploying capacity starting in calendar year 2027 and gradually expanding over several years. Oracle provides power, cooling, and data center networking; its Acceleron network connects TPU clusters to Oracle's databases and storage, letting enterprises fine-tune and deploy models next to their data without cross-cloud transfers. Google says the eighth-generation TPU delivers up to 12.6 PFLOPS of FP4 compute per chip, achieves over 97% effective cluster uptime during large-scale training, and improves performance per dollar by up to 80% for low-latency serving; its open-source TorchTPU stack lets existing PyTorch code and tools such as vLLM and SGLang run on TPUs without rewriting models.
