Google releases Gemini 4 Carbon returns to the top tier, surpassing Opus 5.5 to take the top spot AA Intelligence Index rankings
Beating AI breaking news: Google has released Gemini 4 Carbon. Only half a month has passed since the previous flagship model, Argon, was made available to the public.
In the latest rankings from third-party evaluation organization Artificial Analysis,Intelligence Index v5.0 Carbon scored 59 points to take the top spot, surpassing Claude Opus 5.5's 58 points and GPT-6 Astra's 57 points, beating Argon by 9 points.
The improvement is particularly evident in cybersecurity. Carbon can not only discover software vulnerabilities, but also verify whether they can be exploited and generate patches to fix them. In the three corresponding tests, it achieved 88.2%、54.8% and 71.0%, ranking first in all three. However, it does not lead across the board: it still trails Opus 5.5 in Artificial Analysis's coding Agent rankings.
Google has not yet made Carbon available to the public. A small number of cybersecurity defense teams will try it first this week, after which access will gradually expand.API The promotional price announced is per million token input tokens: 2 USD, output tokens: 10 USD, the same as Argon. Prices will double after the promotion ends.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
This brief indicates that Carbon performed strongly in the stated comprehensive evaluation and cybersecurity tests, particularly in vulnerability discovery, exploitability verification, and patch generation; however, it was not ranked first among programming Agents and is not currently publicly available.
Why it matters to readers
If the evaluations and capability descriptions in the original text are confirmed, Carbon may become a model of interest to cybersecurity defense teams; its scope of public availability and API pricing will also affect the practical barrier to use.
Beginners should assess leaderboard scores, specialized tests, and real-world performance separately: a high overall score does not mean leading performance on every task, and the current materials also show that its programming Agent ranking trails Opus 5.5。
Risks and unknowns
The provided materials do not include a direct announcement or product documentation from Google, so it is not possible to confirm Gemini 4 Carbon's release information.
The provided materials do not include the original Artificial Analysis leaderboard or testing methodology, so the index, ranking, and test scores cannot be verified.
Carbon is not yet publicly available, and the capabilities and actual usage performance described in the materials cannot be independently verified by this article.
Gradually expanding access and doubling the price after the promotional offer ends are arrangements that have not yet been verified.
