Google has barely finished talking about Gemini 4 Argon, and now we have Carbon 🤣 This time, it has taken the top spot on the updated Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, ahead of Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Astra.

There is just one small problem: most of us still cannot use it.

Gemini 4 Carbon

Carbon is Google’s latest frontier model, focused on autonomous coding, cybersecurity defence and sustained, multi-step work. The interesting part is the whole workflow: finding vulnerabilities, checking whether they can be exploited and helping to fix the underlying code. Google also reports internal engineering tasks running for days.
