Google introduces Gemini 4 Carbon for trusted cyber defenders
Google introduced Gemini 4 Carbon as a frontier model for long-horizon engineering and cybersecurity work. The company says initial access begins with a subset of trusted cyber defenders; it reports 88.2% on SEC-bench Pro and an introductory price of $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens.
- Google introduced Gemini 4 Carbon as a frontier model for long-horizon engineering and cybersecurity work. The company says initial access begins with a subset of trusted cyber defenders; it reports 88.2% on SEC-bench Pro and an introductory price of $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens.
Why it matters
Carbon signals that frontier cybersecurity capability is being released through controlled cohorts rather than broad self-service. Security teams should treat vendor benchmarks as directional while assessing access controls, guardrails and operational fit.
