Our teams put Gemini 4 Carbon to work on a major security challenge: mathematically proving the code underlying the Signal protocol.
Using AlphaProof Code, @GoogleDeepMind researchers guided agents to verify the protocol down to compiled device code, closing the gap where real bugs hide. The result:- Gemini 4 Carbon generated over 6M lines of machine-checked Lean proofs- years of expert manual verification compressed to just weeks~1% of the codebase required human review (Lean automatically checked the rest)This is helping unlock scalable formal verification for building secure software, laying the groundwork to fundamentally shift the advantage to defenders. We’re open sourcing the results for the security community.Source: Sundar Pichai
Gemini 4 Carbon is rolling out today. It’s built for sustained, long-horizon tasks, reasoning deeply through complex software engineering, cybersecurity, and scientific discovery.
Coming globally via the Gemini API in @GoogleAIStudio and Gemini for business, and for Ultra subscribers in @antigravity, the @GeminiApp, and AI Mode in Search.Source: Sundar Pichai
Q3 is in the books! We’re now on a half-trillion annual revenue run rate, with Alphabet revenues growing at 25%.
- Our AI investments are driving overall Search query growth, including commercial queries - our YoY query growth rate is the highest it’s been in the last five years.- Google Cloud revenue grew 103%, powered by extraordinary demand for our AI infrastructure and AI solutions. Our 1P model APIs now process nearly 32B tokens/min (up 40% QoQ).- Strong momentum in model progress with Argon and Carbon leading the frontier, and Genie 4 our most advanced new world model yet.Thanks to our partners and employees around the world. More to share on the call soon!Source: Sundar Pichai
I did say we'd be releasing our models periodically...introducing Gemini 4 Carbon, our next frontier model.
Following Argon's release just two weeks ago, Carbon shows the pace at which we’re pushing the frontier, it ranks #1 on the recently updated v5.0 of @ArtificialAnlys Intelligence Index at 59. It also leads across key cybersecurity evaluations scoring 88.2% on SEC-bench Pro for finding vulnerabilities, 54.8% on ExploitGym for exploitation, and 71.0% on CWE-bench for patching.We’re seeing significant improvements in long-horizon tasks even compared to Argon, and we’ve strengthened frontier safeguards.As we did with Argon, we’re going to roll it out gradually + responsibly. Some trusted cyber defenders will get access starting this week. We'll be expanding it to more partners through our Fairwind Program, ahead of wider availability soon, so hang tight!Source: Sundar Pichai
Great to be with 700+ @googlecloud customers at the historic NASA Hangar One for Gemini at Work!
Today, we introduced the new Gemini agent, a single, universal agent for work that has all of your business context and answers your questions, handles your knowledge work, creates your images and media, and writes and runs code - all from a single prompt box. It is connected to your personal workflows, your systems of record, and your enterprise controls.It’s built around a few core architectural principles:Unified Agent: Gemini can answer questions, do knowledge work and generate code from a single prompt box.Access: Gemini is web-based and can be accessed from any device and integrated into third-party applications. It can also operate without a dedicated user interface.Persistent Execution: It runs in the cloud, which means it maintains a single set of memories, context and one personalization graph no matter where you access it.Multi-Agent Orchestration: Gemini can create sub-agents to tackle multi-step tasks and can also act as a coworker agent with a defined role and its own dedicated identityContext: Gemini knows your tools, data, and work history and learns how you work the more you use it.Model Choice Flexibility: It orchestrates across multiple models to deliver optimal quality and lower your costs.Read more in our blog:Source: Sundar Pichai
Lots of discussion out there about our next model(!), so I wanted to give an early look as soon as possible. Introducing Gemini 4 Argon!
It shows frontier performance in complex workflows, cyber defense and software engineering. Teams are using it extensively at Google, from coding to quantum computing, great feedback. Here’s a look at the benchmarks:Source: Sundar Pichai
Great to meet today with @POTUS, @JDVance, @SpeakerJohnson and Administration + tech leaders. Important conversation and we signed today the White House Accord on Super Intelligence.
As I shared today, Google has invested hundreds of billions in the last two years alone, with more to come, across the entire stack, to deliver benefits for America and the world. We’re working to build products that deliver real value for people and businesses, invest in local communities, and build trust in the technology.Industry also has to innovate responsibly. Google’s focused on building the right way, with appropriate testing, evaluations, red-teaming, and other safeguards against misuse and misalignment – and releasing models or products only after they’ve been thoroughly reviewed.We are committed to working with other industry leaders to establish norms and build public confidence. The White House Accord and the Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities signed today is a solid basis for moving forward - it contains real tangible steps to promote safe development, while delivering the economic and scientific benefits of this technology.Source: Sundar Pichai
Today we have set out how we’re building AI to accelerate science and improve people’s lives. Just some examples in the last week or so:
- Mapped all 9B possible single letter genetic changes across the human genome with AlphaGenome Atlas and made it openly available to researchers.- Billions of decisions depend on weather predictions so we introduced WeatherNext 3, our most accurate and capable global weather AI model to date.- We published AI & Economy ATLAS, a comprehensive open-access look at how people are using AI globally.- AI has enabled extraordinary advances in language translation. Today our services are available in nearly 300 languages, spoken by 7B peopleWe’re focusing our efforts on four key areas: health, natural disaster and weather resilience, learning, and economic opportunity.Source: Sundar Pichai
We’re also introducing Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber, our most capable cybersecurity model. It shows frontier-level performance in discovering vulnerabilities and patching them at scale, with Flash-level speed & pricing.
That includes achieving 86.2% on the important CyberGym industry benchmark, plus 47.2% on CWE-Bench for patching. We saw a 70%+ success rate in discovering vulnerabilities across 20 programming languages on our internal benchmark.Source: Sundar Pichai
Today we’re introducing a new 3.8 Flash model, our 3rd Flash release in just 6 wks.
It delivers significant leaps from 3.7 Flash across software engineering, agentic tasks, and multi-step reasoning. On DeepSWE v1.1, it outperforms most larger frontier models in autonomously solving complex engineering problems end to end, at a fraction of the cost.More details here:Source: Sundar Pichai
