Gemini 4 Carbon: Built for Demanding Work

This model targets long-running autonomous projects and security defense, combining strong benchmark results with a careful, safety-led release.

  • Extended Autonomous Workflows
    Carbon handles difficult, multi-step engineering problems. Internal teams report runs lasting days, working through dead ends to trace and fix subtle bugs across large codebases and low-level systems.
  • End-to-End Security Defense
    The model covers vulnerability discovery, validation, and remediation: 88.2% on SEC-bench Pro for real flaw detection, 54.8% on ExploitGym for exploitation, and 71.0% on CWE-bench for root-cause patching.
  • Fast Progress from Argon to Carbon
    Following Gemini 4 Argon, released just two weeks earlier, Carbon shows how researchers and models working together advance the frontier while safeguards are strengthened alongside.

How Access to Gemini 4 Carbon Expands

Access is being released in careful stages; this is how the launch sequence unfolds.

Gemini 4 Carbon: Performance and Benchmark Highlights

From the top of the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index to a 0.0% prompt-injection attack rate, these results show what Carbon can do.

Top Rank on Intelligence Index v5.0

Gemini 4 Carbon scores 59 at the top of the recently updated Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v5.0, with major gains in coding, agentic tasks, and capabilities important for cybersecurity defense.

WebDev Arena Climbs to #4

Better output and artifact quality in full-stack web development lifts Carbon by +89 elo points to #4 with 1768 on WebDev Arena.

Fewer Shortcuts and Cheating Attempts

Alignment work cut successful cheating on Terminal-Bench 4.0 to 0.0%, with attempts down to 0.4% while accuracy improved, and high-severity misalignment alerts fell almost 80% in internal live coding environments.

More Transparent and Honest Output

Internal testing shows Carbon cutting unsupported claims by roughly 2x over Argon, adding methodological caveats to deliverables or withholding blocked actions with a clear list of what remains required.

Strong Defense Against Indirect Prompt Injection

Carbon records a 0.0% attack success rate on Gray Swan's Indirect Prompt Injection Benchmark, resisting every evaluated attempt where Argon previously sat at 0.7%.

Reliable Follow-Through Within Scope

Carbon reduced overreach by 26% and under-service by 29%, delivering more reliable end-to-end execution of multi-step plans that respects project constraints and stays strictly within scope.

FAQ

Gemini 4 Carbon: Common Questions
