Google launches Gemini 4 Carbon with advanced reasoning and cybersecurity skills

According to Google DeepMind: Google's new Gemini 4 Carbon model is built for tasks that test the limits of AI intelligence, such as multi-step coding, open-ended scientific research, and complex enterprise data analysis. Available for developers, enterprises, and scientists, Carbon excels in specialized areas like cybersecurity, where it aids security teams in finding, exploiting, and patching vulnerabilities. In scientific domains, it has been used to accelerate protein structure discovery and formal code verification, completing tasks in weeks that previously took human experts years. Furthermore, Google has introduced advanced safety mitigations to ensure its strong cyber capabilities do not translate into offensive misuse, achieving low breach rates in red-teaming tests.
