Google announced Gemini 4 Carbon, an AI model planned for a phased rollout beginning with cybersecurity firms. Shares of parent Alphabet rose approximately 1.5% in early afternoon trading on October 28, 2026, following the announcement.

Key Takeaways

  • Carbon is planned to have the same token pricing as its predecessor, Argon.
  • The rollout is expected to begin with cybersecurity firms; broader availability was not specified.

Gemini 4 Carbon rollout and pricing

Google plans to charge $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, matching Argon’s pricing. Tokens are the units used to measure the text a model receives and produces.

The phased rollout will initially target cybersecurity firms. The available details do not establish a date for broader access.

Cybersecurity performance and safeguards

Carbon scored 88.2% on the SEC-bench Pro cybersecurity evaluation and ranked first on the updated Artificial Intelligence Index with a score of 59.

For the earlier Argon model, Google described a safety and security approach that includes input screening, internal monitoring and continuous monitoring of responses. Those measures describe Argon and do not establish which safeguards apply to Carbon.
