GoKawiilGoogle's Gemini 4 Carbon takes #1 spot on Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v5
Artificial Analysis reports that Google's new Gemini 4 Carbon model has topped its Intelligence Index v5 with a score of 59, ranking first in 4 of 9 component evaluations including HLE-Diamond and AA-Omniscience. The model also placed second on the firm's Coding Agent Index, trailing only Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5, and showed sizable gains in agentic knowledge-work benchmarks over its predecessor, Gemini 4 Argon. The model is currently in limited rollout with a 50% launch discount and not yet publicly available.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The jump in coding-agent performance is notable given Artificial Analysis's observation that Google has historically lagged in this category, suggesting Gemini 4 Carbon could narrow the gap with Anthropic in agentic coding tools. The improvements in knowledge-work and reasoning benchmarks indicate Google is pushing to compete across a broader range of enterprise use cases, though it still trails rivals like Grok 4.7, Muse Wonder, and Kimi K3.1 Pro on some agentic tasks.
- Gemini 4 Carbon scores 59 on Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v5, the new top score.
- It ranks second behind Claude Opus 5.5 on the Coding Agent Index, a notable improvement for Google.
- The model remains in limited rollout with a 50% launch discount and is not yet publicly available.
