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!

This is not my event. Vumani Business Management is using my name, image and proprietary material without authorisation to advertise a masterclass and solicit payment. I will not present. The Zanetti AI Institute is not involved. Please read and share.

$500 billion. That’s the investment into ChatGPT alone. For context: South Africa’s GDP is $380 billion. Are you choosing a platform that will still exist in 5 years—or one that locks you in and dies out? #AI #FutureOfAI #BusinessStrategy

Running a large language model in-house feels like control. 🌍 But in many countries, the infrastructure isn’t there: no power, no cooling, no cost efficiency. Private cloud isn’t a compromise. It’s survival. We talk about the real cost of keeping an in-house LLM alive. #InHouseAI #PrivateCloudAI

Most CEOs pick an AI platform without realising they’ve stepped into a geopolitical chess game. ♕♗ The fight for AI dominance isn’t about talent or models. It’s about who controls the energy, the chips, and the rules. What must leaders consider before committing to AI? #AI #BusinessStrategy #Leadership

🔍 Business health check time: divide revenue by employee count to see where you stand, then boost that number by 10 per cent to transform profitability, AI is the quickest way to make it happen #BusinessHealthCheck #RevenuePerEmployee #AIAcceleration

🔥 Saudi just plugged $600 BILLION straight into America’s power grid: 🛡️ $142 Bn into weapons ⚙️ $80 Bn into AI & cloud 🔋 $20 Bn into U.S. data centres 🏙️ $358 Bn into next-gen cities & infra Prince MBS met with Altman, Musk, Jassy, Huang, Su, Fink & co, not to buy tech, but to OWN the pipes. This isn’t just an investment. It’s a supply chain seduction: 🇺🇸 America gets capital. 🇸🇦 Saudi gets leverage. 🌍 The rest of us? Just became spectators in the most expensive handshake in history. #AI #Geopolitics #TechTakeover #ZanettiView

AI is like that genius friend who’s just a little sketchy. It’s brilliant… but can we trust it with our privacy and copyrights? Let’s talk about the messy stuff. 🎥 Watch here: youtu.be/EAplueXCE5Y #aiethics #ai4business
