Gemini 4 Carbon: Google gives it first to cyber defense teams

Google announced Gemini 4 Carbon on October 28 and calls it its strongest model, for cybersecurity and long-horizon tasks. It is not yet available to developers, businesses or consumers. Selected cyber defense teams get it first, and access will widen gradually through the Fairwind Program. According to Google, it will cost $2 per million input tokens and $10 for output at first, then $4 and $20. Sundar Pichai says that with Argon and Carbon Google is leading. For everyone else Google gives no date, only "as soon as possible".
