Google releases Gemini 4 Carbon with agent ‘swarm’ feature

Google has launched Gemini 4 Carbon, its latest AI model, to the public following a two-week release to a group of cybersecurity experts. The company asserts that Carbon is its most powerful model to date, capable of rivaling top systems from Anthropic and OpenAI. Described as pushing the boundaries further than its predecessor, Argon, Carbon is designed for complex tasks that challenge a model's intelligence. While Argon is recommended for most software engineering and knowledge work, Carbon is tailored for more demanding applications.
