first_img Google opens Gemini 4 Carbon, API prices will double starting in December

On Tuesday, Google announced that its cutting-edge artificial intelligence model, Gemini 4 Carbon, is now open to paid developers and enterprise customers. Google stated that the model is capable of handling complex programming, cybersecurity, and scientific research tasks that involve multiple steps. Gemini 4 Carbon was released on October 28, having previously been available to select cybersecurity defense agencies through the Fairwind program. Following this opening, paid developers can use the model via the Gemini API in Google AI Studio, while enterprise customers can access it through Gemini for business. Google AI Ultra subscribers will also gradually gain access to the Gemini application, Google Search AI mode, and Antigravity.In early tests, OpenCode software engineer Kit Langton reported that the team submitted a list of requirements to Carbon before the end of the workday, requesting solutions for consistency issues between the application interface and the existing UI framework. After running overnight, Carbon built a Rust UI library from scratch, rewrote the OpenCode desktop application, and provided a runnable demo version. The Wiz team under Google stated that while using Carbon for cyber to scan two large software service providers, the model identified zero-day vulnerabilities within two hours and subsequently collaborated with the affected agencies to complete the fixes. Google did not disclose the names of these service providers or the details of the vulnerabilities. Researchers also combined Carbon with other models, using the AlphaProof Code intelligent agent framework to complete the formal verification of the security properties of the underlying code of the Signal encryption protocol within weeks.In terms of pricing, Google set the initial experience price for Carbon's API at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, the same as Gemini 4 Argon. This offer lasts until November 30, after which the price will double, adjusting to $4 per million input tokens and $20 per million output tokens, applicable to the publicly available Carbon model. Google stated that Carbon ranked first in three benchmark tests: CursorBench 4.0, Perplexity WANDR, and Zapier AutomationBench, with the cost of single-task performance being less than half that of the next best external models. Google also mentioned that the model intercepted 99% of attack paths in a simulated cyberattack test, and achieved a 0% success rate in another prompt injection test.

Google urgently releases Chrome security update: fixes zero-day vulnerability already being exploited in the wild, urges users to upgrade immediately

On November 9, 2026, Google released an emergency stable channel update for the desktop Chrome browser, fixing nine security vulnerabilities, including a zero-day vulnerability that was already being exploited in the wild. This update raises the Chrome version on Windows and Mac platforms to 157.8103.5/.51, and to 157.8103.5 on the Linux platform, and will be gradually rolled out over the next few days to weeks. The core focus of this update is the high-risk vulnerability numbered CVE-2026-125350, which is a use-after-free issue in an XML component. Google explicitly stated in the announcement that "CVE-2026-125350 is known to be exploited in the wild," but did not disclose specific attack methods, the scale of victims, or attribution of the attack activities.The vulnerability was reported by an anonymous researcher on November 6, 2026, just three days before Google released the fix. Among the nine fixes, seven are classified as "high risk" and two as "medium risk." In addition to CVE-2026-125350, another high-risk vulnerability, CVE-2026-125346, also pertains to a use-after-free issue in an XML component, reported by Arni Hardarson of Neonix Security on October 12, 2026, but Google only marked CVE-2026-125350 as an actively exploited vulnerability. The other high-risk vulnerabilities include uninitialized resources in WebGL, improper FileSystem authorization, synthesizer buffer overflow, GPU out-of-bounds write, and V8 type confusion, most of which were discovered by Google's internal security team.Google also confirmed that the Android version of Chrome (157.8103.5) released on the same day includes the same security fixes as the desktop version, with no exceptions noted. Users on the Extended Stable channel should install the update released separately on November 9, with Windows and Mac versions being 156.8078.96, which also lists CVE-2026-125350 as a high-risk fix. The Hong Kong Government Computer Security Incident Coordination Centre (GovCERT.HK) issued a security alert on the same day, defining affected systems as versions prior to Chrome 157.8103.5, and pointed out that successful exploitation of the related vulnerabilities could lead to remote code execution, denial of service, tampering, or bypassing security restrictions. The Hong Kong Computer Security Incident Coordination Centre (HKCERT) rated the risk level of this update as "extremely high risk." Google explained in the announcement that access to vulnerability details and links may remain restricted until most users complete the update. The company recommends that users manually check and trigger the update via "Settings → About Chrome," and restart the browser after completing the update for the patch to take effect. For users still running versions prior to Chrome 157.8103.5, the current priority action is to confirm the version number and restart immediately to complete the upgrade.

Google Q3 holdings are out: continues to increase its position in the top holding SpaceX, Qualcomm has newly become the sixth largest holding

Alphabet, Google's parent company, submitted its 13F report for the third quarter of 2026 to the SEC, showing that as of September 30, the total market value of reported holdings was approximately $88.3 billion, a decrease of 10.9% from about $99.1 billion in the previous quarter. During the quarter, four new stock positions were added, one was increased, three were reduced, and three were completely sold off, with the top ten holdings accounting for 99.48% of the total.SpaceX continues to hold the top position. Alphabet holds approximately 555.04 million shares, with a market value of about $83.734 billion at the end of the period, representing 94.78% of the reported portfolio; this is an increase of about 3.8541 million shares, with an increase rate of 0.70%. Although the portfolio weight decreased from 95.05% to 94.78%, the number of shares actually increased. Qualcomm is the main new disclosure for this season, with Alphabet holding approximately 2.977 million shares at the end of the period, valued at about $548 million, accounting for 0.62% of the portfolio, directly becoming the sixth largest holding.Among other major holdings, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), Planet Labs, and Arm ranked second to fourth, with end-of-period market values of approximately $913 million, $578 million, and $568 million, respectively, with the number of shares remaining consistent with the previous quarter. Revolution Medicines ranked fifth, with an end-of-period market value of approximately $549 million, having reduced its holdings by 9.25% during the quarter. AST SpaceMobile had an end-of-period holding market value of approximately $526 million, with the number of shares unchanged. In addition to Qualcomm, other newly disclosed targets include Neutron Holdings, the parent company of Lime, Freenome, and Obsidian Therapeutics, with end-of-period market values of approximately $53.4934 million, $31.8486 million, and $16.8175 million, respectively. The total market value of the four new holdings is approximately $650 million, with Qualcomm accounting for about 84.3% of that.In terms of reductions, Freshworks saw a decrease of 1.87 million shares, a drop of 11.54%; Ethos Technologies saw a decrease of approximately 3.0507 million shares, a drop of 84.21%, leaving approximately 571,900 shares at the end of the period, valued at about $19.1989 million. Due to the highly concentrated nature of the reported portfolio, the changes in total market value at the end of the period were also affected by fluctuations in the prices of core holdings, with a decrease of approximately $10.8 billion in market value not equating to an equivalent amount of capital withdrawal.
