Google Announces Gemini 4 Carbon Frontier AI Model
Google has announced Gemini 4 Carbon, its latest frontier AI model designed to deliver significant improvements in cybersecurity capabilities. The model achieves state-of-the-art performance across vulnerability detection, validation, and remediation. This release represents an ongoing effort by major tech companies to specialize frontier models in critical domains like cybersecurity defense. It sets a new benchmark for how AI can automate and secure software infrastructure. Gemini 4 Carbon maintains the same introductory pricing structure as its predecessor Argon at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, with cached input tokens discounted by 95%.
## BACKGROUND
Frontier AI models represent the most advanced artificial intelligence systems available, pushing the boundaries of capabilities in reasoning, coding, and security. In the context of large language models, input and output tokens refer to the chunks of text processed and generated by the system, which typically dictate the cost of usage.
