Google Introduces Gemini 4 Carbon With Gains in Coding and Cybersecurity

Google has announced Gemini 4 Carbon, a new frontier model aimed at complex coding and cybersecurity work. The company says it improves on Gemini 4 Argon, but is initially limiting access to cyber defenders and trusted partners. Google says the model will first go to a subset of cyber defenders, with broader access through its Fairwind Program before it reaches developers, businesses and consumers. The company says it is also participating in a U.S. government process for pre-release model testing.
