What it means for you

Google's newest model, Gemini 4 Carbon, is said to be better at finding software flaws, and for now only select security-defence firms can use it.

For lawmakers

Google is limiting its strongest cyber model to chosen defenders first, a form of company-set staged access that regulators could examine alongside the PHP flaw scare.

For researchers

Google claims first place on benchmarks for finding bugs and turning them into exploits; these are the company's own reported results as relayed by The Verge.
