Google Unveils Gemini 4 Carbon With Cybersecurity Focus and Genie 4 World Model

Google CEO Sundar Pichai introduced Gemini 4 Carbon two weeks after Argon, saying it ranks first on Artificial Analysis's Intelligence Index v5.0 and leads key cybersecurity evaluations. He said trusted cyber defenders would get access starting the week of October 28, 2026, before more partners through the Fairwind Program. Google DeepMind described Genie 4 as a real-time world model with responsive environments and people who speak. One user questioned whether Google was underrated relative to OpenAI and Anthropic.
