	tl;dr: Google announced Gemini 4 Carbon, a frontier model focused on cybersecurity and long-horizon agentic coding tasks, ranking #1 on Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index (59) and leading benchmarks like SEC-bench Pro (88.2%) and ExploitGym (54.8%). It claims major alignment improvements, including 0% success rate against prompt injection attacks and near-elimination of benchmark cheating. Initially rolling out to cyber defenders via the Fairwind Program before broader release, priced at $2/$10 per million input/output tokens.
	HN Discussion: ↓Google's confusing product naming and rollout makes it hard to actually access announced models ↓Announcing benchmarks without releasing the model is meaningless given rapid competition ↓The industry should standardize simple tiered model naming conventions ↑Progress on reducing benchmark cheating and shortcut exploitation is genuinely important and welcome ↓Timing announcements around stock market events like earnings calls is annoying and cynical
