Google launched GEMINI 4 Carbon, ranked first on the latest AI capability
leaderboard, with notable gains in complex programming, long-duration autonomous
tasks and cybersecurity. The company reports an 88.2% score for vulnerability
discovery, secure-code generation performance over 2x better than the prior
generation, a prompt-injection attack success rate reduced to 0%, and alerts for
high-severity safety-alignment issues down nearly 80%. Pricing matches the prior
generation at $2 per 1M input tokens and $10 per 1M output tokens; cached input
tokens are discounted 95%. Access is initially restricted to selected
cybersecurity defenders, with phased expansion planned.
