The new version of Google's AI model is stronger than its predecessor and focuses on activities that approach intellectual boundaries. Google announced the introduction of a new version of its artificial intelligence (AI) model called Gemini 4 Carbon, aimed at the general public. This version was developed after it was introduced to a group of 'cyber security defenders' two weeks ago. Google stated that Carbon is their 'strongest model' up until then and can compete with the best systems from OpenAI and Anthropic. The new version of Carbon has been developed to use AI agents, which is a technical term referring to a group of intelligent agents working together to accomplish a task. This approach to problems is known as 'swarming'.

Google has announced that this feature will be available through the Antigravity platform, which will allow you to convert a single prompt into a coordinated team of agents.

Additionally, Google has stated that the Carbon model is also available to users of Google AI Studio and Gemini for Business, as well as all clients of Google AI Ultra who are currently using the Gemini platform. The new version of Carbon was launched free of charge for clients of Google AI Ultra, but it is still unclear whether it will be available for clients with lower levels or for free. The cost of Carbon is very competitive compared to other options offered by Google.

The model was launched with a price of $2 million for input tokens and $10 million for output tokens, about half the cost of GPT-6 by Astra from OpenAI and half the cost of Fable 5. 2 by Anthropic, which came out just a few hours ago. Google has declared that Carbon is ideal for tasks requiring work on intellectual boundaries. Additionally, Google promised to continue developing Carbon so that it can provide AI assistants capable of helping solve complex and open-ended problems. When discussing Carbon, one thinks of an even stronger version of Aragon, another frontier model by Google.

Argon is considered the ideal choice for most activities of software engineering and knowledge research, but Carbon has been designed to tackle tasks that approach the limitations of a model's intelligence, such as comprehensive code generation and open science research. A new feature of Carbon was introduced in a similar way to the features of Argon: Google announced that Carbon is available through the platform Antigravity, which will allow you to convert a single prompt into a coordinated team of agents. This approach to problems is called 'swarm'. In conclusion, Google launched a new version of Carbon, its artificial intelligence model, aimed at the general public.

This new version was developed after it was introduced to a group of 'cyber security defenders' two weeks ago and is being offered for free to clients of Google's AI Ultra. The latest version of Carbon has been launched with a competitive price point and focuses on activities involving software engineering and knowledge research, where tasks that approach intellectual boundaries are required.
