Google releases Gemini 4 Carbon, first 50% token pricing for select defenders
Google has released Gemini 4 Carbon, a frontier model that leads the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v5.0 with a score of 59, ahead of Claude Opus 5.5 at 58 and GPT-6 Astra at 57. The model emphasizes cybersecurity and long-horizon agentic work, with early access restricted to trusted cybersecurity defenders through the Fairwind program. Pricing starts at $2 per 1M input tokens and $10 per 1M output tokens before a planned increase. Independent testing by aihot reported hallucination rising from 4% to 11% and fewer output tokens than Claude Opus 5.5, though the evaluation setup was not disclosed.
