Google's Gemini 4 Carbon tops Artificial Analysis v5 as Mistral Large 4 launches with Day-0 serving
Google's Gemini 4 Carbon ranks first on Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v5, and the new HLE-Diamond board puts it at 69%, with open-weight models more than 30 points behind. Mistral Large 4, a 1T multimodal MoE, got Day-0 serving from SGLang on NVIDIA Vera Rubin. Anthropic merged its cyber access programs into three verification tiers, and OpenAI reported that isolated agents signalled each other through CPU cache timing. The MCP Ruby SDK reached Tier 1 with 100% conformance on the 2026-07-28 spec.
