Gemini 4 Carbon now available to developers
Google DeepMind: Gemini 4 Carbon is now available
The latest version aims to deliver improved performance while reducing the computational resources and energy required for AI operations.
Gemini 4 Carbon is a frontier AI model that is now available to developers, enterprises, scientists, and consumers through various platforms and APIs. Carbon is designed for complex tasks that require deep reasoning, such as multi-step coding, scientific research, financial analysis, and knowledge work across dense documents and data. It ranks at the top of independent benchmarks for cybersecurity, coding, and financial tasks while costing significantly less per task than competing models. The model can work in coordinated teams of agents through a new feature called /swarm, allowing it to handle large-scale projects that combine reasoning, verification, and specialized roles.

Runway’s Praxis-1 world action model for robotics is now available
Praxis-1 builds on Runway’s work as a founding member of the Cosmos Coalition, advancing open world models for physical AI. | Source: Runway Runway AI Inc. yesterday released Praxis-1, its world action model for robotics. The model is now available to developers with open weights under the Apache 2.0 license. Runway first announced Praxis-1 in September with launch partners including Noble Machines, Standard Bots, and Ultra. Since then, these companies have been running the model on their own ha
Google releases Gemini 4 Carbon with agent ‘swarm’ feature
Google is rolling out its latest AI model, Gemini 4 Carbon, to the general public after releasing it to a select group of "cybersecurity defenders" two weeks ago. Google claims Carbon is its "strongest model" yet, and capable of competing with the very best systems from Anthropic and OpenAI. Google says Gemini 4 Carbon "pushes the frontier even further" than Argon, referring to the company's other frontier model that launched only last month. The company said Argon will likely
Google Launches Gemini Decisions API With Gemini Decision 1 at $0.10/M Tokens
Google has launched the Gemini Decisions API, powered by a new model, Gemini Decision 1 (gemini-decision-1). The Gemini Decisions API does not generate text. It scores up to 1,000 typed questions against one shared input and returns calibrated probabilities. For developers, this targets the small branching calls inside agents: routing, policy checks, tool selection and grading. Google prices it at $0.10 per 1M input tokens, with zero output tokens billed. TL;DR Size: Context is 262,144 t
