Kimi Antonelli

Kimi Antonelli has made Formula 1 history after becoming the youngest-ever world champion at 20 years and 68 days old, following a third-place finish at the Mexico City Grand Prix on 1 November 2026.
The Mercedes driver secured his maiden drivers&rsquo; championship with four races remaining, achieving the milestone in only his second Formula 1 season.
Antonelli finished behind race winner Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton in Mexico City, but his podium was enough to confirm his place at the top of the standings. His triumph also ends Italy&rsquo;s wait for a Formula 1 world champion, with Alberto Ascari the country&rsquo;s last title winner in 1953.

Who Is Kimi Antonelli? From Karting Prodigy to F1 Champion
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/4aa786868165c8bef9d09c389c5546b707db4a7a1ce0dffc55d08e84e1a56b88" />
Born Andrea Kimi Antonelli on 25 August 2006 in Bologna, Italy, Antonelli developed an interest in motorsport from an early age. His father, Marco Antonelli, was also involved in racing, and he began karting when he was seven.
He quickly made his mark in junior competition, winning the 2015 Trofeo Easykart and Easykart International Grand Final. Further success followed in events including the WSK Champions Cup, ROK Cup International Final and WSK Euro Series.
Mercedes recognised his potential and signed him to its junior driver programme in 2019, when he was 12. He moved into single-seater racing in 2021 and continued to progress through the junior categories.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/561a2da243a9e7b4c9a82a4cd278b73cc091de2bd5f83cbd7de221d2112d893a" />
In 2022, Antonelli won both the Italian Formula 4 and ADAC Formula 4 championships, taking 22 victories across 35 races. The following year, he claimed the Formula Regional Middle East and Formula Regional European titles.
His performances earned him a seat with PREMA Racing in Formula 2 in 2024. He secured notable wins in the Silverstone Sprint Race and Budapest Feature Race, strengthening his case for a place in Formula 1.
Mercedes promoted him to its senior team for the 2025 season, replacing seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, who had moved to Ferrari. Partnering George Russell, Antonelli used his rookie campaign to gain experience before making a major step forward the following year.
Antonelli Breaks Sebastian Vettel&rsquo;s Youngest Champion Record
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/077338a8e3d589a5890cdc9cf09c06e7d3069b323fe1931b45d3caa98210ed1d" />
At 20 years and 68 days old, Antonelli has become the youngest world champion in Formula 1 history, surpassing Sebastian Vettel&rsquo;s previous record.
Vettel was 23 years and 134 days old when he won his first title with Red Bull in 2010. Antonelli has therefore taken the record by more than three years.
His achievement is especially remarkable given that he is only in his second season in the sport. After finishing seventh in the 2025 drivers&rsquo; championship, he began the new campaign with a stronger understanding of the car and the demands of Formula 1.
Antonelli quickly established himself as a title contender, taking the championship lead after the Japanese Grand Prix. His early-season form included five victories across the opening six races.
One of his standout performances came at the Italian Grand Prix, where he fought back from 19th on the grid to claim victory at Monza.
By the Mexico City race, Antonelli had recorded nine wins and 16 podium finishes during the 2026 campaign. Despite losing points on two occasions because of mechanical problems, his pace and consistency kept him in control of the championship battle.
A Composed Drive Seals the Championship in Mexico
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/fe0b7b54823f79d51e635e747da25ddae3884dee9f8236ee6e43a9cea704cdee" />
Antonelli arrived in Mexico knowing that a ninth-place finish or better would be enough to secure the title, regardless of his closest rivals&rsquo; results.
Starting fourth, he delivered a controlled performance in a race disrupted by several incidents. A crash involving Valtteri Bottas brought out the red flag, while a later collision involving Arvid Lindblad and Oscar Piastri led to a Safety Car period.
Despite the interruptions, Antonelli remained composed and moved into third position, holding it until the chequered flag.
Verstappen claimed his sixth Mexico City Grand Prix victory, with Hamilton finishing second. However, the biggest celebration was in the Mercedes garage, where Antonelli&rsquo;s podium confirmed him as the 2026 world champion.
His reaction over the team radio reflected the significance of the moment, as he thanked Mercedes, his family and those who had supported his journey. Fellow competitors also praised his progress and ability to perform under pressure.
Four Races Remain, With More Action Ahead
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/6eb1e5e62d0ea9a0ec228adba954951dabd5170cd5070dcfe5ef9629c92cf777" />
Although the drivers&rsquo; championship has been decided, the 2026 season still has four races to go. The calendar continues with the Sao Paulo Grand Prix from 6 to 8 November, followed by races in Las Vegas and Qatar before the season finale in Abu Dhabi.
With the individual title settled, attention will turn to the remaining race victories, final championship positions and the battle for the constructors&rsquo; championship.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/b88787a0548f4d7e03363385a05aa1cc0c9efb3349ee452397f40a3f63404869" />
Antonelli&rsquo;s triumph also raises the question of which racing number he will use next season. As the reigning world champion, he is eligible to use number 1 in 2027. The number is currently used by Lando Norris, who won the 2025 title and would ordinarily return to his familiar number 4.
However, Antonelli has indicated that he intends to retain number 12, which has personal significance, rather than take the champion&rsquo;s number.
Whatever number appears on his car, Antonelli will begin the 2027 campaign as the driver his rivals will be looking to beat. At just 20, he has already achieved what many drivers spend their careers pursuing. His rapid rise from karting prodigy to world champion could be only the start of an even bigger career.

Malaysia Airlines has warned that some customer information may have been affected by a cybersecurity incident involving Amadeus, the global travel technology provider that supports its airline reservation systems.
In a customer advisory published on 31 October, the national carrier said information processed through Amadeus between August 2023 and September 2026 may have been affected. The airline is working with the technology provider and relevant parties to investigate the incident and establish the extent of any exposure.
Malaysia Airlines has not disclosed how many customers may be affected or specified which categories of personal information were potentially accessed. It said there was currently no evidence that customers&rsquo; financial information had been accessed.
MAS untouched by data breach
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/3a395c1ceb1f11a6d0dbaa531a12b3bd5600266108dff32c3367112cbd668bd0" />
Malaysia Airlines stressed that its own information technology systems had not been compromised in the incident. Instead, the potential exposure relates to information processed through Amadeus, a third-party provider used by airlines and travel agencies around the world for reservation and distribution services.
The distinction is important: the airline has not reported a direct breach of its internal network or flight operations. However, customer information held or processed within an external supplier&rsquo;s environment may still be at risk, even when an airline&rsquo;s own systems remain secure.
Amadeus previously disclosed that it had identified unauthorised access to its passenger reservation systems, involving a vulnerability in a travel booking display environment. The company has not publicly stated how many passengers were affected or provided a full account of how the unauthorised access occurred.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a6dca502615da887b033baabf4b24374fb50160b8403625ecbb1ac4d70dd1ec6" />
Malaysia Airlines said it was treating the matter seriously and would provide further updates as its investigation progressed.
Other international airlines report affected bookings
&nbsp; <img src="https://r2.myc.my/f28e1ecb83a160b3b74247defa7620a6fe6753c038332d2078485a642db08a26" />&nbsp;
Malaysia Airlines is among several carriers that have reported potential exposure linked to the same Amadeus incident, with airlines in Asia among those to disclose affected passenger records.
Cathay Pacific said on 30 October that around 53,000 bookings had been affected by unauthorised access to passenger reservation data held by Amadeus. The Hong Kong-based airline said the records mainly involved booking references, passenger names and flight details. A smaller number may also have contained email addresses, telephone numbers, travel document information and frequent flyer numbers.
Japan Airlines and Japan Transocean Air reported that approximately 92,000 customers were affected. The airlines said most of the records involved reservation codes, names, flight dates, routes and travel classes, while a smaller group of around 2,000 customers had additional information accessed, including contact details, passport numbers and frequent flyer numbers.
All Nippon Airways also reported that information relating to approximately 37,800 customers had been accessed. South Korea&rsquo;s Asiana Airlines and Korean Air have likewise reported unauthorised access to customer reservation information through Amadeus.
The figures relate to different airlines and different types of records, so they should not be treated as a single confirmed total of affected passengers. Malaysia Airlines has yet to provide its own figure.
Customers warned about targeted phishing scams
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2afadd6f4bf36fa31acbf39e230e1269ae422992c6c7482d380daab41ec8bb50" />
Although there is currently no evidence that financial information was accessed, exposed travel details could still be misused by scammers.
Information such as a passenger&rsquo;s name, booking reference, destination or travel dates could help criminals create convincing messages that appear to come from an airline. These may take the form of fake flight updates, refund notifications, booking changes or requests to verify account details.
Malaysia Airlines has therefore urged customers to be cautious about suspicious or unsolicited communications, particularly messages or calls asking for personal or financial information. Travellers should avoid clicking unfamiliar links, sharing passwords or providing payment details in response to unexpected requests.
If a message claims to relate to a booking, customers should verify it through Malaysia Airlines&rsquo; official website or customer service channels rather than relying on contact details or links supplied in the message.
Amadeus strengthens security measures as investigation continues
Amadeus has reportedly taken steps to contain the incident, including resetting passwords and introducing enhanced monitoring and detection measures. Cathay Pacific said the provider had informed it that these actions had been implemented, while also stating that there was no evidence the affected data had been misused at the time of its update.
The full circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear. Questions remain over the vulnerability, the scope of unauthorised access and the specific information that may have been viewed.
For Malaysia Airlines customers, the key point is that the airline&rsquo;s own systems have not been compromised, but some information handled by its technology provider may have been affected. Until the investigation establishes the full impact, passengers who travelled or made bookings during the period identified by the airline should remain alert to unusual messages and verify requests through official channels.

Malaysia Airlines Customers May Be Affected By Amadeus Data Breach

Binance is in discussions with Malaysian regulators about securing a licence to operate in the country, potentially paving the way for the cryptocurrency exchange to return more than five years after it was ordered to stop its local operations.
A spokesperson for Binance confirmed that the company has been engaging the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) and Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) over the past 10 months to explore a licensed route for offering its products and services to Malaysians.
Speaking to Bloomberg, the spokesperson said the discussions were focused on the viability and structure of a licensed business model. However, Binance has not disclosed which specific licence it is seeking, and there has been no announcement that regulatory approval has been granted.
The talks mark a possible step towards re-establishing the exchange&rsquo;s presence in Malaysia, where access to its website and mobile applications remains blocked.
Binance&rsquo;s regulatory history in Malaysia
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/43543d1d937790f2cc741552bc86c524ea505b984ca80220646c2aa51e4e09b3" />
Binance&rsquo;s previous operations in Malaysia were halted in July 2021, when the SC ordered the exchange to cease operating after finding that it was running a digital asset exchange without the required authorisation.
The regulator also directed Binance to stop all media and marketing activities in the country and restricted Malaysian investors from accessing its Telegram group. The action formed part of efforts to ensure that digital asset trading platforms operating locally comply with Malaysia&rsquo;s regulatory framework.
Although the SC removed Binance from its Investor Alert List in 2024, the exchange was added back to the list on 8 October 2026, without a public explanation for the decision, according to the reports.
The Ministry of Finance also confirmed in July that Binance remained unlicensed in Malaysia and that its website and applications were still blocked. The latest discussions therefore do not mean the exchange is currently authorised to provide services to Malaysian users.
For a formal return, Binance would need to satisfy the relevant regulatory requirements and obtain the necessary approvals. Malaysia&rsquo;s digital asset market already includes locally registered operators, with Luno among the established platforms serving consumers.
P2P trading platform draws scrutiny over ringgit transactions
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d29ea830276c7e6ec9e4dc584b347e94ef2395ba3f6941760a03fde4a3a79836" />
Alongside its licensing discussions, Binance has faced questions about transactions on its peer-to-peer (P2P) marketplace and whether foreign-currency listings could be used to facilitate trades involving the ringgit.
In September, former finance minister and DAP chairman Lim Guan Eng wrote to the SC asking it to investigate whether Binance&rsquo;s P2P platform was enabling ringgit transactions through advertisements listed under other currency denominations. His office released the letter on 31 October, citing the exchange&rsquo;s recently reported security incident.
Binance said it had voluntarily disabled a specific Papua New Guinea kina marketplace after identifying that it was unofficially pegged to the ringgit. The company described the move as part of its engagement with the SC.
It also addressed a separate complaint involving an advertisement placed by a non-Malaysian user on its Romanian leu marketplace. Binance characterised this as an isolated case and maintained that no other products on its platform were pegged to the ringgit or offered as substitutes for the Malaysian currency.
The exchange acknowledged that no platform could completely prevent individuals from attempting to bypass marketplace rules. However, it rejected the suggestion that the incidents demonstrated a sustained effort to circumvent Malaysian law, saying it took the concerns seriously.
US$6.3 billion security incident adds to scrutiny
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/4f494f3208ae77f90448731b9e0aedb29bf8a515e3273a2973b3b7c2ee4af2ae" />
The renewed regulatory discussions come as Binance faces international scrutiny following a major security breach reported in late October. The incident involved digital assets valued at approximately US$6.3 billion (around RM25.6 billion), making it one of the largest reported security incidents in the cryptocurrency sector.
Binance said it had found no evidence that users&rsquo; wallet private keys had been leaked and maintained that customer funds remained safe. The exchange pledged to cover losses through its Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU) and corporate reserves. Reports also said that around US$3 billion (approximately RM12.2 billion) in affected assets had been frozen through cooperation with blockchain partners.
The incident has raised further questions about the security measures and safeguards used by major cryptocurrency platforms, particularly as regulators assess the risks associated with digital asset trading and custody.
No confirmation of Binance&rsquo;s return yet
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ae673066e003c2ce688a89bed6a17e2aa6fc3fdefe21c92e604e9ad010b7cbce" />
Binance has reiterated that it remains committed to working with Malaysian regulators to offer its services in line with local requirements. However, the outcome of its discussions with the SC and BNM remains uncertain.
Until the necessary approvals are secured and any official announcement is made, Malaysian users should not interpret the talks as confirmation that Binance can legally resume local operations.
The exchange&rsquo;s potential return will depend on whether it can meet Malaysia&rsquo;s regulatory expectations, address concerns surrounding its P2P marketplace and demonstrate that it has appropriate safeguards for protecting users and their assets.

Binance In Talks With Malaysian Regulators To Secure Licence After Five-Year Absence

A temporary worker at the Sepang International Circuit (SIC) has been arrested following an investigation into the suspected unauthorised sale of VIP passes during the 2026 Petronas Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix.
SIC confirmed that the individual was arrested by police on the night of 31 October 2026, following an internal investigation conducted in cooperation with the relevant authorities.
The incident came to light after reports circulated online alleging that individuals were offering exclusive access passes to MotoGP spectators for a fee. The claims raised questions about the legitimacy of the passes and whether buyers had been misled into paying for access they were not entitled to receive.
Although the 2026 race weekend has concluded, the case has drawn attention to the risks surrounding unofficial ticket and event-pass sales, particularly when premium hospitality areas are involved.
Unauthorised passes offered to MotoGP spectators
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/1a8c204373c4d637a23ba5b257d1e8205e8c92454113017933598f90910d458f" />
According to reports circulating on social media, the passes were allegedly advertised as Perdana Suite VIP or premium hospitality access, with prices ranging from RM230 to RM250.
Some individuals claimed to have purchased the passes, with one social media user reportedly saying they had paid RM230.
Reports suggested that the passes being offered were staff credentials intended for operational purposes rather than public admission.
SIC subsequently clarified that the passes in question were never authorised for public distribution or sale. The circuit stressed that event passes are reserved for authorised personnel and are not intended to be sold to spectators or members of the public.
A pass that appears genuine does not necessarily provide valid admission. Even an authentic credential may be restricted to a particular person, role or operational purpose.
SIC confirms arrest and addresses online rumours

In its statement, SIC confirmed that the arrested individual was a temporary worker engaged specifically for the 2026 Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix.
The circuit said it had taken the matter seriously and initiated an internal investigation before working with the authorities to identify those involved. Police subsequently arrested the worker on the night of 31 October.
SIC also addressed speculation circulating online that had incorrectly identified another individual, known as Aqil, as the person responsible for the alleged scam.
The circuit clarified that Aqil was not the suspect and reiterated that the individual arrested was a temporary staff member. The clarification followed online discussion in which an unrelated person had been named, highlighting how quickly unverified claims can spread during a developing incident.
SIC further stated that it would pursue the necessary legal action in relation to the incident.
Large sporting events rely on different categories of passes to manage access for staff, contractors, media representatives, sponsors and other authorised personnel. These credentials help organisers maintain security and ensure restricted areas are accessed only by people with the appropriate clearance.
Fans warned against unofficial event-pass sellers
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/54f3b2d72d4b00f48f9f6ebbae1b42037fe8b1fc5ec3f6f4221a978d5ee97591" />
SIC has reminded the public to exercise caution when dealing with individuals offering event tickets, VIP passes or exclusive access through unofficial channels.
While the 2026 Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix has concluded, the incident highlights the risks spectators may face when purchasing event-related access from unverified sellers. Similar offers can emerge around concerts, festivals and other major sporting events, where demand for premium experiences may encourage scammers to target people looking for cheaper or last-minute access.
Members of the public should verify ticket and pass offers directly through official event organisers or authorised sales platforms before making payment. Offers advertised through social media, private messages or third-party sellers should be approached carefully, particularly when they promise access to restricted hospitality areas or appear significantly cheaper than legitimate options.
Buyers should be wary of sellers who pressure them to pay quickly or cannot explain how they obtained the passes. A screenshot or photograph should not be treated as proof that a credential is valid or transferable.
SIC has reiterated that only tickets and passes issued through its authorised channels are recognised. The public is encouraged to contact event organisers when uncertain about an offer, rather than relying solely on assurances from an individual seller.
Ultimately, the incident serves as a wider warning for future events: an attractive deal could come with financial and security risks. Taking time to verify a seller and confirm the terms of entry before paying can help prevent similar scams from affecting other spectators.

Sepang Circuit Temporary Worker Arrested Over Suspected Fake MotoGP VIP Pass Scam

Sir Patrick Stewart, the acclaimed British actor whose commanding performances made him a defining figure in both classical theatre and modern popular culture, has died at the age of 86.
Best known to millions as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men films, Stewart died at his home in Los Angeles on Wednesday, 28 October 2026. A statement shared through his official social media accounts said he passed away in the care of his wife, singer-songwriter Sunny Ozell, following a brief illness involving Alzheimer&rsquo;s disease and Lewy body dementia.
His death marks the end of a career spanning more than six decades across theatre, television and blockbuster cinema.
From a difficult childhood to the theatre
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/bc91417247d9b5c0581849e5a491fc2750936ba43a22fcf925dc5e28d63dfe16" />
Born on 13 July 1940 in Mirfield, West Yorkshire, Stewart grew up in a working-class family. His father, Alfred, served in the British Army during the Second World War before working as a labourer, while his mother, Gladys, was employed in a textile factory.
Stewart later spoke openly about the poverty and domestic violence he experienced during childhood. He recalled that his father, who struggled with the effects of the war, physically abused his mother, and that he would sometimes place himself between his parents in an attempt to protect her.
Acting became an escape from those difficult circumstances. At the age of 12, a teacher introduced him to Shakespeare through a school production of The Merchant of Venice, sparking an interest that would shape his career. After briefly working as a junior reporter, Stewart pursued formal training at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and began his professional acting career in 1959.
He joined the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1966, spending around 14 years with the respected theatre company. His stage work established him as a respected performer, while television dramas such as I, Claudius and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy broadened his profile.
Becoming an icon as Captain Jean-Luc Picard
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2ec7a55b18b9ae3dd8bf4f188b6e019ca331de3909ddb4f8451298f1eaacc9fc" />
Stewart&rsquo;s international breakthrough came in 1987, when he was cast as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Despite his theatre experience, he was relatively unknown to American television audiences.
The casting was not an obvious choice, and Stewart reportedly expected the production to last only a year. However, the series went on to run for seven seasons, from 1987 to 1994, and became one of the most celebrated entries in the Star Trek franchise.
As captain of the USS Enterprise, Picard was thoughtful, diplomatic and guided by reason. Stewart&rsquo;s theatrical training gave the character distinctive authority and depth. Lines such as &ldquo;Make it so&rdquo; became closely associated with the role.
Stewart reprised Picard in four Star Trek feature films and later returned to the character in the television series Star Trek: Picard, which premiered in 2020. Across 176 episodes of The Next Generation alone, his portrayal helped shape generations of viewers&rsquo; understanding of the franchise.
Professor X made him a superhero film favourite
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/91ec6372157715bd095c0c17e7ba17b34e4529457c5d5c01ec2e88534154829b" />
In 2000, Stewart took on another career-defining role as Professor Charles Xavier in the first X-Men film. The character, commonly known as Professor X, is a powerful telepath who leads a school for young mutants and advocates peaceful coexistence between mutants and humans.
Initially hesitant to take on another fantasy role, Stewart nevertheless helped establish X-Men as a major force in superhero cinema.
He returned for several instalments, including X2, X-Men: The Last Stand and Logan. His performance in Logan (2017), which offered a more sombre portrayal of the character, was particularly praised. He also appeared as an alternate-universe version of Professor X in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022).
His on-screen relationship with Sir Ian McKellen, who played Magneto, became a memorable feature of the franchise. The two had known each other through theatre, and McKellen later recalled advising Stewart to think carefully before leaving the British stage for Star Trek.
Marvel Studios paid tribute following Stewart&rsquo;s death, remembering him for bringing composure, wisdom and humanity to Professor X. The studio also acknowledged his contribution to the franchise over more than 25 years.
A celebrated career and lasting legacy
Away from screen roles, Stewart remained committed to theatre, performing works by Shakespeare, Henrik Ibsen, Arthur Miller, Harold Pinter and Samuel Beckett in Stratford-upon-Avon, London and Broadway.
His achievements were recognised with major industry honours, including Olivier Awards and a Grammy Award for his narration of Peter and the Wolf. In 2010, Queen Elizabeth II knighted him for his services to drama and the performing arts.
Drawing on his childhood experiences, Stewart supported Refuge, a British charity assisting women and children affected by domestic violence. He also shared his personal story in his 2023 memoir, Making It So.
He is survived by his wife, Sunny Ozell, and his two children. For theatre audiences, Star Trek fans and generations who grew up watching the X-Men films, Stewart leaves behind a body of work that connected classical performance with modern entertainment.
Whether commanding the Enterprise or guiding young mutants as Professor X, he brought intelligence, dignity and humanity to his roles &mdash; a legacy that will continue to resonate long after his final performance.

Google has unveiled Gemini 4 Carbon, a new frontier artificial intelligence model designed to identify software vulnerabilities, assess whether they can be exploited and help developers produce security fixes. The company describes it as its strongest model to date, with particular strengths in cybersecurity, coding and long-running autonomous tasks.
Announced on 28 October, Carbon arrives just two weeks after Google released Gemini 4 Argon, highlighting the accelerating competition between major AI developers. However, access will initially be restricted to selected cybersecurity defenders, with no confirmed date for a wider public release.
Gemini 4 Carbon focuses on cybersecurity and complex tasks
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ab2c871c9ca0d21c2631592aa80e28b1b028f4a56b71fc952293d2a182248c12" />
Unlike a conventional chatbot designed primarily to answer questions, Gemini 4 Carbon is built to handle demanding tasks involving extended reasoning and multiple steps. In cybersecurity, this includes scanning codebases for weaknesses, checking whether identified flaws could be exploited and proposing ways to fix them.
Google says Carbon can run these processes over extended periods, potentially working on difficult engineering problems for days. Its focus is defensive security and software remediation, while Gemini 4 Argon was introduced as a more general model for reasoning and developer workflows.
Google reported scores of 88.2% on SEC-bench Pro for detecting security flaws, 54.8% on ExploitGym for assessing exploitability and 71% on CWE-bench for generating patches.
The company also said Carbon produced viable security fixes at more than twice the rate of Argon and was more than twice as successful at generating secure code. Google&rsquo;s Chrome team separately reported that Carbon performed more than 10 times better than a competing frontier model at producing high-quality software patches.
Google claims top position in AI model rankings
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/0467a5478a0b64fd7ab4267e180b0242f58c647cc7c3ed677f28daac6efb6220" />
Gemini 4 Carbon has made an early mark on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index version 5.0, an independent leaderboard that combines results from multiple AI evaluations. Carbon received an aggregate score of 59, narrowly ahead of Anthropic&rsquo;s Claude Opus 5.5, which scored 58.
Google said Carbon achieved the leading result in 15 of 17 benchmarks in its comparison with rival models, including OpenAI&rsquo;s GPT-6 Astra. However, it did not top every evaluation. GPT-6 Astra led the FrontierSWE 2 software engineering test, while Claude Opus 5.5 performed best on OSWorld-2.1, which assesses a model&rsquo;s ability to operate a computer.
The company also highlighted improvements in web development, scientific tasks and multimodal understanding. Carbon reportedly gained 89 points on the WebDev Arena leaderboard, placing fourth. The platform ranks AI-generated websites through user evaluations.
Another evaluation, Terminal-Bench 4.0, tests whether AI systems can complete technical tasks independently using a computer terminal, such as installing software and repairing code. Google highlighted Carbon&rsquo;s performance in this area, although benchmark results alone cannot guarantee how a model will perform in every real-world situation.
Carbon&rsquo;s one-point lead over Claude Opus 5.5 is also relatively narrow, meaning the rankings could change as competitors introduce updated models.
New safeguards aim to reduce AI security risks
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/432f3e2afc4780ad1d1ab3984839727d8bbf5d2da8b57c8a0021ee00bf8725d0" />
As AI systems become more capable of carrying out tasks independently, their ability to follow instructions and avoid unsafe actions is an important consideration. Google says Carbon uses the safety framework introduced with Argon, including monitoring of the model&rsquo;s reasoning, alongside further work on alignment.
In Google&rsquo;s testing, Carbon recorded no successful attacks on Gray Swan&rsquo;s Indirect Prompt Injection benchmark, compared with a 0.7% attack success rate for Argon. The test examines whether hidden instructions can manipulate a model into acting against its intended instructions.
Google also reported a 26% reduction in operational overreach, where an AI agent acts beyond the limits set by a user, and a 29% decline in under-service, when an agent abandons a multi-step task before completing it.
On Terminal-Bench 4.0, the company said Carbon did not successfully use shortcuts to bypass tasks, with attempts to do so recorded at 0.4%. It also reported that Carbon made around half as many unsupported claims as Argon in internal testing.
However, a separate Artificial Analysis evaluation recorded an 11% hallucination rate for Carbon, compared with 4% for Argon. These findings come from different testing methods, highlighting why benchmark results should be considered in context rather than treated as a single measure of reliability.
Limited access and Gemini API pricing
Google is beginning Carbon&rsquo;s rollout with a selected group of cybersecurity defenders, with access expected to expand gradually through its Fairwind programme. The initiative provides early access to models for trusted partners, including government organisations, critical infrastructure operators and enterprise security teams.
Google also said it is participating in the US government&rsquo;s voluntary process for pre-release AI model testing. Feedback from security specialists and partners will help the company assess the model and refine its safeguards before a broader launch. No general availability date has been confirmed for developers, businesses or consumers.
For developers who receive access through the Gemini API, Google has announced introductory pricing of US$2 per million input tokens and US$10 per million output tokens. These rates are scheduled to increase to US$4 and US$20 respectively under standard pricing.
Cached input tokens will receive a 95% discount, bringing the introductory rate down to US$0.10 per million cached tokens. This is intended to benefit enterprise developers running repeated security checks across large codebases.
The staged release reflects the potential risks as well as the capabilities of increasingly powerful AI systems. While Gemini 4 Carbon&rsquo;s early results put Google near the front of the frontier AI race, wider access will depend on further testing and the company&rsquo;s confidence in its security controls.

Google Unveils Gemini 4 Carbon, Its New AI Model Designed to Detect and Fix Security Flaws

Indonesia has warned that Singapore could also face severe internet disruptions if submarine cables running through Indonesian waters were damaged or deliberately severed, highlighting how closely the two neighbours depend on shared digital infrastructure.
Indonesia&rsquo;s Communications and Digital Minister Meutya Hafid said many submarine cable routes connecting Singapore to the wider world pass through Indonesian waters. She claimed that disruption to these connections could put up to 80% of Singapore&rsquo;s internet connectivity capacity at risk.
Her remarks followed a social media post by former Singapore Nominated Member of Parliament Calvin Cheng, who questioned how much Indonesia relies on Singapore for international internet access. The exchange has drawn attention to the importance of regional cooperation in protecting the networks that support digital services, businesses and global communications.
Former Singapore MP questions Indonesia&rsquo;s internet dependence
The discussion began when Cheng shared an infographic on X titled &ldquo;Indonesia&rsquo;s Internet Dependence on Singapore&rdquo;. It claimed that around 90% of Indonesia&rsquo;s international internet traffic passes through Singapore, presenting the city-state as an important gateway to global connectivity through data centres, cloud computing services and submarine cables.
Cheng accompanied the infographic with the one-word question, &ldquo;Cut?&rdquo;, which prompted a response from Indonesian officials and social media users.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
We are civilised law-abiding people. We will not do this obviously.
&mdash; Calvin Cheng (@calvinelcheng) <a href="https://x.com/calvinelcheng/status/2114398453199761864?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 25, 2026</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

He later clarified that Singapore would not deliberately sever the connections, saying the country was a civilised and law-abiding society. His post was not an announcement of any official Singapore government policy.
Indonesia says submarine cables are a shared dependency
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/b4418f391e1be146d3d4350d67f95ea794ba635eb7ce0b2b74cb293fcbb03192" />
Responding to the claims, Meutya said the submarine cable systems that connect Singapore to the rest of the world do not simply arrive in the city-state without crossing other territories. Many of their routes, she noted, pass through Indonesian waters.
She argued that any damage or deliberate disruption could therefore affect both countries, rather than leaving Singapore in a position to control Indonesia&rsquo;s internet access without consequences for itself.
Meutya urged the public not to view the issue narrowly, stressing that digital infrastructure should be protected collectively because it supports connectivity beyond the two neighbouring countries.
The minister also pointed to Indonesia&rsquo;s importance as a market for international technology companies operating in Singapore. With around 267 million internet users and a population approximately 47 times larger than Singapore&rsquo;s, Indonesia represents a significant customer base for companies providing digital services across the region.
Meutya suggested that access to this large market helps attract global technology investment to Singapore, warning that investors could reconsider their presence if the connection to regional consumers were lost.
The figures cited by both sides &mdash; around 90% of Indonesia&rsquo;s international internet traffic passing through Singapore and up to 80% of Singapore&rsquo;s connectivity capacity being exposed to cable disruption &mdash; were claims made during the exchange and have not been independently verified.
The discussion also comes amid heightened attention on economic relations between Jakarta and Singapore after Indonesia decided to reduce natural gas exports to the city-state to prioritise domestic demand.
Indonesia also warns neighbours over haze criticism
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/89eeed3bdd9094c21dc5f5a1fdace934c45642e6699f644c45cc1d04f3f1667c" />
Separately, another Indonesian minister has urged neighbouring countries to be mindful of how they criticise Indonesia over transboundary haze caused by forest and land fires.
Coordinating Minister for Food Affairs Zulkifli Hasan said Indonesia&rsquo;s patience had limits if the country&rsquo;s efforts to tackle the fires continued to be dismissed or met with insults from abroad. He made the remarks during a working visit to Nganjuk Regency in East Java on 25 October.
Zulkifli said thousands of personnel from agencies including the National Disaster Management Agency, Indonesian National Armed Forces, police and local authorities were working to contain the fires. Efforts included ground and aerial operations, as well as weather modification measures.
While acknowledging that the haze had affected neighbouring countries, including Malaysia and Singapore, he called for diplomatic etiquette and recognition of the personnel working to manage the situation.
The separate remarks come as regional attention remains focused on Indonesia&rsquo;s relationship with its neighbours. Whether the issue involves haze or submarine cables, the developments underline how environmental conditions and digital networks can cross national borders, making cooperation important to the wider region.
