Oct 28 (Reuters) - Alphabet's ‌Google ​on ​Wednesday unveiled Gemini 4 Carbon, its latest frontier AI model, stepping ‌up competition with OpenAI and Anthropic as ⁠the race to build more capable coding ‌and cybersecurity systems intensifies.

The ‌launch comes two weeks after Google introduced Gemini 4 Argon, as the ​company expands its Gemini family of AI models for developers and enterprise ⁠customers.

Here are some details:

• The company said the Carbon ​model delivers state-of-the-art performance across cybersecurity tasks including vulnerability discovery, exploitation, ​and software patching

• Google ‌said Carbon generates secure code at more than twice the ⁠success rate of Gemini 4 Argon on internal benchmarks

• The model is designed ⁠to handle complex, long-running engineering and coding tasks

• ​Carbon is being made available first to a subset of cybersecurity defenders through Google's Fairwind ‌Program as the company continues testing safeguards

• Gemini 4 Carbon will ‌be priced at $2 per million input ⁠tokens and $10 per ‌million output ​tokens, matching Gemini 4 Argon's introductory pricing
