Introducing Gemini 4 Carbon, our latest frontier model.
Carbon delivers improved performance across domains — ranking #1 on v5.0 of the @ArtificialAnlys Intelligence Index and sets a new state-of-the-art in cybersecurity and long-horizon capabilities.
It’s rolling out starting this week to cyber defenders through our Fairwind Program, with expanded access coming soon 🧵
Today we shared an early look at Gemini 4 Carbon.
It ranks #1 on the @ArtificialAnlys Intelligence Index v5 with a score of 59 (+9 pts over Argon), leading across complex reasoning, knowledge, and scientific tasks.
Google’s Gemini 4 Carbon is the new #1 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v5, and second only to Claude Opus 5.5 on the Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index
Gemini 4 Carbon scores 59 on Intelligence Index v5, driven by leading performance in complex reasoning, knowledge, and scientific tasks. It also has large gains in coding and knowledge work, particularly when compared to other Gemini models, but it is not leading in all these areas.
As with launch of Gemini 4 Argon, Gemini 4 Carbon is being rolled out to selected users and is not yet publicly available. Google is offering a 50% launch discount, with no confirmed end date. All our charts and figures use standard pricing for both Gemini 4 Carbon and Argon.
Key results for Gemini 4 Carbon with high reasoning:
➤ Gemini 4 Carbon leads the Intelligence Index v5, with the #1 score in 4 of the 9 Index evaluations: HLE-Diamond, Terminal-Bench-Science, AA-Omniscience, AutomationBench-AA. Carbon makes substantial gains elsewhere but is not leading in coding and knowledge work
➤ Behind only Claude Opus 5.5 on coding agents: With Antigravity CLI, Gemini 4 Carbon (high) scores 59 only 3 points behind Claude Code with Claude Opus 5.5 (max, 62) on the Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index. Carbon ranks second on both Terminal-Bench 4.0 (64%) and FrontierCode v1.1 (51%), behind Claude Opus 5.5 (max) at 56%. Google has historically underperformed in this area and so this improvement stands out
➤ Improved agentic knowledge work, but not yet leading: On AA-Briefcase, Gemini 4 Carbon (high) scores 1609 Elo, a 126-point improvement over Gemini 4 Argon (high, 1483), but still behind models including Grok 4.7 (xhigh, 1638), Muse Wonder (max, 1659) and Kimi K3.1 Pro (1678). The largest gain comes from Presentation, up 293 Elo to 1598, alongside a 120-point improvement in Analytical Quality to 1671
➤ Lower Cost per Task than Claude Opus 5.5 for comparable overall intelligence: Gemini 4 Carbon costs $7.76 per Intelligence Index task, ~23% less than Claude Opus 5.5 (max, $10.04) but ~1.2x GPT-6 Astra (max, $6.25). It uses 123k output tokens per task, 29% fewer than Claude Opus 5.5 (max, 173k). At the same $4/$20 standard pricing, its Cost per Task is in line with Gemini 4 Argon ($7.68), while scoring 9 points higher on the Intelligence Index
➤ Leading AA-Omniscience v1.1 score, with low hallucination: Gemini 4 Carbon scores 54 on our recently updated AA-Omniscience v1.1, 6 points ahead of Claude Opus 5.5 (max, 48) and 8 points ahead of Gemini 4 Argon (46). Accuracy (% correct) rises 10 points over Argon to 58%, while its hallucination rate rises from 4% to 11%. This is still the second lowest of any model, behind only Argon, compared with 50% for both Claude Opus 5.5 (max) and GPT-6 Astra (max)
Key model details:
➤ Context Window: 1M tokens
➤ Multimodality: Text, image, video, and speech input, with text output
➤ Pricing: $4/$20 per 1M input/output tokens, the same as Gemini 4 Argon’s standard pricing, with a 50% discount. Cached input tokens receive a 95% discount ($0.20 per 1M)
Congratulations to the @GoogleDeepMind team!
We’re launching a preview of our Connected Apps Platform, giving developers a single place to build and manage apps for Search and the @GeminiApp.
Plus, we’re rolling out a new set of Connected Apps from partners like @Adobe, @Calm, and @onepeloton to make your everyday activities more streamlined.

Gemini 4 Carbon is our next frontier model.
It’s state-of-the-art across cybersecurity and long-horizon capabilities.
Carbon delivers state-of-the-art performance across the cybersecurity defense lifecycle:
🔵 Finding real vulnerabilities: 88.2% on SEC-bench Pro
🔵 Validating risk through exploitation: 54.8% on ExploitGym
🔵 Patching at the root cause: 71.0% on Collinear’s CWE-bench
On internal benchmarks, Carbon drives a more than 2x uplift in success rate for generating secure code over Gemini 4 Argon.
With Carbon, our goal is to deliver frontier performance without compromising on safety.
We’re rolling it out starting this week to cyber defenders through our Fairwind Program, with expanded access coming soon for developers, businesses, and consumers.

This is Genie 4, our most realistic and interactive world model yet. 🌐
Explore dynamic environments in real time to see how the scene responds, sounds, and how the people in it move, react, and speak.
Interactive world models like Genie 4 advance our ability to test simulated scenarios before bringing them into the physical world.
We paired Genie 4 with Gemini 4 Argon in our @GoogleDeepMind robotics research — showing the possibilities of simulating a breadth of scenarios in imagined worlds 🤖
We’ve started rolling out Genie 4 as a research preview to trusted testers. It’s coming soon to Google AI Ultra subscribers in Project Genie and early access partners in the Gemini API and @GoogleAIStudio.

Today we're introducing Genie 4 — our newest interactive world model from @GoogleDeepMind 🌐
Genie 4 incorporates and builds on capabilities from the Gemini family: Gemini Omni anchors simulations in real-world appearance and behavior, while other Gemini models provide the reasoning to maintain coherence and continuity.
Here's what's new:
✨ Live steering: Use text prompts to change or add things in the world
🔊 Native audio: Hear ambient soundscapes, music, and interactive dialogue
🌊 Unprecedented realism: Experience a leap in visual details, from realistic physics to natural human movement
🧠 Gemini reasoning: Interprets prompts, tracks world state to remember what just happened, and plans multi-step events so scenes stay more coherent

Gemini 4 Argon is already helping researchers unlock new scientific breakthroughs across fusion, biology, and quantum computing:
⚛️ In nuclear fusion, Argon helped discover a broader class of counterexamples to Grad's conjecture — a nearly 60-year-old assumption in plasma physics — creating new benchmarks for stellarator 3D magnetic fields.
🧬 In biology, it designed five novel, lab-verified serine esterases in a matter of hours — enzyme engineering that would previously have taken months. This work demonstrates the potential for rapid acceleration in fields such as biomanufacturing, green chemistry, and drug development.
🩺 In rare disease research, scientists at @GamowLabs used Argon to analyze de-identified genomes from newborns with rare developmental lung disorders — pinpointing a chromosomal rearrangement that routine software missed for years, and explaining why it went undetected.
🧮 In quantum computing, Argon translated our AlphaQubit error-correction decoder into a single optimized hardware kernel — nearly doubling inference throughput — and cut spacetime costs for a key quantum subroutine by more than 100x.
