Google Expands Gemini 4 Carbon Availability

Google says the model outperforms rivals on coding and automation benchmarks and will cost $2 per million input tokens through Nov. 30.

  • On Tuesday, November 10, Google released Gemini 4 Carbon to the public after an initial rollout to cybersecurity defenders two weeks ago, making it available to developers, business users, and Google AI Ultra subscribers via Antigravity and AI Studio.
  • Google claims Carbon is its "strongest model" yet, "built for tasks that test the limits of a model's intelligence," while Argon remains "the ideal choice for the majority of software engineering and knowledge work." The two models serve complementary purposes.
  • To showcase Carbon's utility for agentic workflows, Google previewed a "swarm" feature on its Antigravity platform, which lets users turn a single prompt "into a coordinated team of agents" capable of handling complex coding and scientific research tasks.
  • Pricing for the model is $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, making it significantly cheaper than OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra and Anthropic's Fable 5.2 model, though costs will double after November.
  • To assist with research and model training, Google is providing 10,000 scientists free access to Carbon for six months and launched the Multimodal Knowledge Agents benchmark to better evaluate reasoning over complex files.
