Google has made its most powerful AI model, Gemini 4 Carbon, available to developers, businesses, and Google AI Ultra subscribers. The neural network appeared in the Gemini application and the AI Mode search mode, and third-party developers were able to connect it to their own projects via the API.

In late October, Google introduced Carbon as a model for complex engineering and cybersecurity. Initially, only a limited group of information systems security specialists were able to gain access. In a new announcement, the company revealed conditions for wider distribution of the neural network.
Developers can use Carbon through a paid API in Google AI Studio and Android Studio. The model is available to corporate clients through Gemini for Business, Google Antigravity and CodeMender. In the Gemini app and Google search, it is currently limited to AI Ultra subscription owners.
The cost of working through the API at the initial stage is $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens. Starting December 1, Google will increase rates to $4 and $20, respectively. The company has not yet announced free access to Carbon for ordinary users.
At the same time, Google began preliminary testing of the /swarm function in the Antigravity development environment. It allows you to launch a group of AI agents with one request, which together perform a complex task. Their actions can be monitored in real time.
The developer can entrust Carbon with designing the application architecture, coordinating the work, and validating the results. Faster models also perform separate tasks in parallel workspaces. Additional agents check changes and help identify errors.
As an example, Google demonstrated the creation of an interactive 3D model of the Eiffel Tower using historical photographs and engineering drawings. In another experiment, the system reconstructed a company office building using city council documents. The resulting 3D model contained about 906 thousand triangles.
Carbon is also designed for long-term programming and research tasks. According to Google, the model took first place in the CursorBench 4.0, WANDR and AutomationBench tests. The company says the cost per task was more than half that of the closest competing model in these tests.
A separate Fairwind program is being maintained for cybersecurity professionals. In tests using Carbon, Wiz researchers discovered zero-day vulnerabilities in the systems of two major cloud providers in less than two hours, Google said. Details about the vulnerabilities themselves are not disclosed.
Scientists can apply to join Google’s research program with free access to Carbon and Argon through Antigravity for six months. Participants are selected as applications are processed, taking into account available computing resources.
