Google launches Gemini 4 Carbon for cybersecurity and long-horizon tasks
Google DeepMind announced Gemini 4 Carbon as its next frontier model, emphasizing cybersecurity, coding, and long-horizon capabilities. Artificial Analysis measured it at 59 on Intelligence Index v5, placing it first, though it trailed Claude Opus 5.5 on the Coding Agent Index. Access initially goes to selected cybersecurity defenders through the Fairwind Program, with no general-availability timetable announced.
Gemini 4 Carbon adds a new leading contender for general frontier-model evaluations while targeting security work, but its restricted rollout means developers and consumers do not yet have confirmed access.
