Google Launches Gemini 4 Carbon After Brief Testing Phase

Google has announced the general availability of the Gemini 4 Carbon model following a two-week testing phase. The model ranks first in several benchmarks, outperforming Anthropic's Fable 5.2 in some cases, while costing less than half per task. Additionally, Google is previewing coordinated agent teams through the '/swarm' feature, which divides complex tasks in real-time. This feature reflects a shift towards enhancing efficiency in handling multiple tasks simultaneously.
