Summary
According to a post on X by @kimmonismus, Gemini 4 Carbon took first place on Artificial Analysis's new Intelligence Index, and hours later a Google post hinted at a still-unreleased Gemini model. The post says this sparked talk that Google has pulled ahead. Google is also rolling Carbon out to selected cybersecurity defenders at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, with prices rising to $4 and $20 later. The unreleased model's details are not given in the provided material, so its strength relative to Carbon rests on the post's framing.

What happened
Hours after Gemini 4 Carbon took first place on Artificial Analysis's new Intelligence Index, a Google post hinting at a still-unreleased Gemini model set off talk that Google has pulled ahead (kimmonismus's post drew about 780 likes). Google is also rolling Carbon out to selected cybersecurity defenders at $2 per...
Why it matters
Developers and security teams comparing AI models may want to weigh Carbon's listed pricing and benchmark standing against whatever Google releases next. Cybersecurity defenders in the rollout will face the higher token prices once they take effect. Watch for an official Google announcement of the unreleased model and independent benchmark results, since this signal rests on a social post and hints rather than confirmed specifications.
