Google releases Gemini 4 Carbon, just two weeks after Argon
Google has released its next-generation frontier model Gemini 4 Carbon, just two weeks after the release of Gemini 4 Argon. According to Sundar Pichai, Carbon ranks first on the ArtificialAnlys Intelligence Index v5.0 with a score of 59, scoring 88.2% on SEC-bench Pro, 54.8% on ExploitGym, and 71.0% on CWE-bench in cybersecurity evaluations, with notable improvements over Argon on long-horizon tasks. The model will first be made available to trusted cybersecurity defenders, then expand its collaboration scope through the Fairwind Program, and subsequently become more broadly available.

View original postI did say we'd be releasing our models periodically...introducing Gemini 4 Carbon, our next frontier model. Following Argon's release just two weeks ago, Carbon shows the pace at which we’re pushing the frontier, it ranks #1 on the recently updated v5.0 of @ArtificialAnlys Intelligence Index at 59. It also leads across key cybersecurity evaluations scoring 88.2% on SEC-bench Pro for finding vulnerabilities, 54.8% on ExploitGym for exploitation, and 71.0% on CWE-bench for patching. We’re seeing significant improvements in long-horizon tasks even compared to Argon, and we’ve strengthened frontier safeguards. As we did with Argon, we’re going to roll it out gradually + responsibly. Some trusted cyber defenders will get access starting this week. We'll be expanding it to more partners through our Fairwind Program, ahead of wider availability soon, so hang tight!

The frontier is fast, and the internal vibes on this model are good. Rolling out to cyber defenders first, then more widely available as the next step!
