Google unleashes Gemini 4 Carbon with agent swarm feature

google has launched gemini 4 carbon, its latest ai model, which it claims is its strongest yet. carbon is capable of handling complex tasks like multi-step coding and open-ended scientific research, and is designed to compete with systems from anthropic and openai. the model is available via the gemini api in google ai studio and gemini for business, and comes with a swarm feature on its agentic development platform antigravity, which allows users to turn a single prompt into a coordinated team of agents. carbon is priced at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, which is significantly cheaper than frontier rivals on a per-token basis. the release marks a decisive return for google at the forefront of ai research.
