Gemini 4 Carbon is currently unavailable to ordinary users, with Google prioritizing it for cyber defense defenders, distributed through the Fairwind program.
Google first handed Argon to trusted security experts for early validation through a project called Fairwind
Google's Fairwind program is positioned as a restricted access program targeting government agencies, critical infrastructure operators, and core technology platforms to provide cyber defense capabilities.
Organizations participating in the Fairwind program must restrict access to internal cybersecurity, incident response, or penetration testing teams, and deploy basic protective measures such as multi-factor authentication.
The Fairwind program builds a full-chain autonomous agent system covering vulnerability discovery, verification, and automatic remediation, capable of compressing repair time from weeks to minutes.
The Fairwind program adopts a strict tiered access strategy, with admission targets divided into three priority levels: governments and national cybersecurity agencies, critical infrastructure operators, and core technology platforms.
The Fairwind program currently has more than 650 global partners participating.
