Gemini 4 Carbon arrives just in time to feel like yesterday's news in the fastest model cycle yet

Google is making Gemini 4 Carbon generally available after a two-week testing phase. The model ranks first in several benchmarks, in some cases ahead of Anthropic's new Fable 5.2, at less than half the per-task cost. Google is also previewing coordinated agent teams through the "/swarm" feature, which split up complex tasks in real time.
