Gemini 4 Carbon Tops Intelligence Index, but Access Is Limited
The Rundown AI reports that Google unveiled Gemini 4 Carbon, a frontier model focused on cybersecurity and long-running coding work. The model scored 59 on Artificial Analysis’s Intelligence Index, taking the top position from Claude Opus 5.5, and led 15 of 17 benchmarks in Google’s charts. Its introductory API price is $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, but access is limited to select cyber defenders and no wider release date was reported.
Gemini 4 Carbon’s reported benchmark lead and introductory pricing could affect the competitive position of Google’s frontier models, although users outside its limited access group have not yet independently verified the results.
