Gemini 4 Carbon is announced. The door is still locked.

Google calls Carbon its strongest model and is starting with a subset of cyber defenders, then trusted partners in the Fairwind program. Introductory API pricing is $2 in and $10 out per million tokens. A general release is not dated.

Verdict
Watch Promising, but something is missing: access, pricing, or proof.

Why it matters
Google is starting with a subset of cyber defenders and trusted Fairwind partners. A general release is not dated.
