Google launches Gemini 4 Carbon and Genie 4 AI models: Key features, uses and availability

Google has unveiled Gemini 4 Carbon, a new AI model focused on cybersecurity, coding and software vulnerability detection, alongside Genie 4, which creates interactive digital worlds with real-time audio.

Google has announced two new artificial intelligence models, Gemini 4 Carbon and Genie 4, on Wednesday, 28 October, expanding its work in cybersecurity and interactive world simulation. Gemini 4 Carbon can handle complex coding needs and identify software vulnerabilities, while Genie 4 can create realistic environments with native sound and interactivity. Google has announced that the rollout will be gradual, with the Carbon version debuting in the hands of select cybersecurity experts and Genie 4 becoming available for a trial by trusted partners.

The announcements come just two weeks after Google introduced Gemini 4 Argon. According to Google’s official announcements, the new models aim to improve AI-assisted security, software development, robotics research and interactive digital experiences. However, the models are not yet widely available to the public.

Gemini 4 Carbon focuses on cybersecurity and coding

Google says Gemini 4 Carbon is the most capable of its models for complex, long-running engineering tasks. It can detect vulnerabilities, check for possible exploits and recommend code fixes. According to the company, the model is intended to solve multi-step problems, even those that cause errors in large amounts of code.

Google claimed to achieve 88.2% for vulnerability detection, 54.8% for exploitation and 71% for vulnerability patching on SEC-bench, ExploitGym and CWE-bench, respectively. Google also reported that its secure code generation and prompt-injection attacks have improved.

Google's API pricing is $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, which is the same as Gemini 4 Argon.
