Google DeepMind Dream-RSI: agents improve search by replaying past runs, no model retrain
The Decoder reports Google and DeepMind’s Dream-RSI: it changes how agents explore search spaces without retraining the underlying model. Agents log past attempts and outcomes, then replay alternative strategies inside already-explored territory instead of re-running costly simulations. Coverage says it matched or beat prior results on some tasks and cut required iterations by up to about 2.43×—useful for math, coding, and algorithm-discovery agents.

Google releases Gemini 4 Carbon two weeks after Argon: 59 and first place on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v5, state-of-the-art cybersecurity and long-horizon coding, with early access for cyber defenders in the Fairwind program
Google DeepMind announced Gemini 4 Carbon on Oct 28, calling it its strongest model, just two weeks after Gemini 4 Argon. The official blog says it ranks first on v5.0 of the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index at 59 and leads three cybersecurity evaluations: 88.2% on SEC-bench Pro for finding vulnerabilities, 54.8% on ExploitGym for exploitation and 71.0% on CWE-bench for patching; it also gains 89 points to rank fourth on WebDev Arena at 1769. Access starts this week for a subset of cyber defenders in the Fairwind program, with developers, businesses and consumers to follow. Introductory pricing matches Argon at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, rising to $4 and $20 afterwards.
