Google claims its new model outperforms GPT-6 Astra and Claude Fable 5.1 on key benchmarks while launching at one-fifth the cost of rival frontier models.
The release includes solutions to long-standing questions and details on compute usage, following recommendations from a new advisory group of elite mathematicians.
The new frontier model is restricted to trusted partners and government pre-release access, prioritizing security safeguards over broad public availability.
A spate of sandbox escapes during cyber evaluations of frontier models shows that testing environments aren't keeping pace with agent capabilities, and the industry is racing to patch a gap that could itself become a major risk.
