Google debuts Gemini 4 Carbon, limited to cybersecurity defense companies

Technology Oct 29, 2026

Google just introduced Gemini 4 Carbon, a new AI model built to level up digital security.

It's currently only available to a select group of cybersecurity defense companies and ranks well on cybersecurity benchmarks, and will eventually expand to other partners in Google's Fairwind Program.

Gemini 4 Carbon tops major benchmarks

Gemini 4 Carbon isn't just new: it's topping major benchmarks like the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index and SEC-bench Pro.

Compared to Argon, which Google released earlier this month, it handles tougher tasks and shrugs off prompt injection attacks.

Pricing stays student-budget-friendly at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, making advanced protection more accessible.
