Google announces Gemini 4 Carbon, limited to cyber defenders at first

Google announced Gemini 4 Carbon on Oct. 28. Access starts this week for a subset of cyber defenders, then more trusted partners; developers and consumers get it later, with no date. Intro pricing is $2 input and $10 output per million tokens, rising to $4 and $20. Google reports #1 at 59 on the Artificial Analysis index and 88.2% on SEC-bench Pro. Now covered by 25+ outlets.
