Selected cyber defenders get access this week via Fairwind, priced at $2 and $10 per million tokens.

Google announced Gemini 4 Carbon, describing it as its strongest model for long-horizon work and cybersecurity. Google says Carbon ranks first on Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v5.0 at 59 and leads SEC-bench Pro, ExploitGym, and CWE-bench. A subset of cyber defenders gets access this week, with more trusted partners added through the Fairwind Program while Google joins a U.S. voluntary pre-release testing process. Broader developer, business, and consumer access is planned later, at the same introductory price as Gemini 4 Argon.

Unconfirmed: Benchmark scores and safety gains are Google's own figures and are not independently confirmed here.

Key facts
  • Google cites 88.2% on SEC-bench Pro, 54.8% on ExploitGym, and 71.0% on CWE-bench.
  • Google says secure-code success more than doubled compared with Gemini 4 Argon.
  • Cached input tokens are priced at 95% off the input token price.
  • Google says high-severity misalignment alerts fell by almost 80% in internal coding.
