On-chain data shows that Google opened Gemini 1.5 Pro to developers and enterprise clients on Tuesday. The model, released on October 28, was previously available only to cybersecurity agencies through the Fairwind program. Developers can now access it via the Gemini API on Google AI Studio. Enterprise users can utilize it for business applications, and AI Ultra subscribers gain access across apps and search modes. Carbon handled complex tasks such as building a Rust UI library and identifying zero-day vulnerabilities within two hours. API pricing is set at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, with a discount ending November 30. After that date, prices will double to $4 and $20 per million, respectively. Altcoins to watch may shift as AI adoption grows within the crypto space.

ChainCatcher report: On Tuesday, Google announced that its advanced AI model, Gemini 4 Carbon, is now available to paying developers and enterprise customers. Google states that the model is capable of handling multi-step tasks such as complex programming, cybersecurity, and scientific research. Released on October 28, Gemini 4 Carbon was previously accessible primarily to select cybersecurity defense organizations through the Fairwind program. With this launch, paying developers can access the model via the Gemini API on Google AI Studio, while enterprise customers can use it through Gemini for Business. Google AI Ultra subscribers will also gradually gain access to the model within the Gemini app, Google Search’s AI mode, and Antigravity. During early testing, OpenCode software engineer Kit Langton reported that his team submitted a task list to Carbon before leaving for the day, requesting a solution to align the application interface with the existing UI framework. After running overnight, Carbon built a Rust UI library from scratch, rewrote the OpenCode desktop application, and delivered a runnable demo version. Google’s Wiz team reported that using Carbon for Cyber to scan two large software providers, the model identified zero-day vulnerabilities within two hours and subsequently collaborated with the affected organizations to remediate them. Google did not disclose the names of these providers or details of the vulnerabilities. Researchers also combined Carbon with the AlphaProof Code agent framework to complete formal verification of certain security properties of Signal’s encryption protocol’s underlying code within weeks. Pricing-wise, Google has set the introductory API rate for Carbon at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens—the same as Gemini 4 Argon. This promotional rate lasts until November 30, after which prices will double to $4 per million input tokens and $20 per million output tokens for the publicly available Carbon model. Google claims that Carbon ranks first in three benchmarks: CursorBench 4.0, Perplexity WANDR, and Zapier AutomationBench, with per-task costs less than half those of the next-best external models. Google also states that the model blocked 99% of attack paths in a simulated cyberattack test and achieved a 0% success rate in prompt injection tests.
