Google released the Gemini Decisions API, with the underlying model being Gemini Decision 1. Sundar Pichai and Logan Kilpatrick announced this model. It handles closed-set decision-making, scoring options in a single forward pass rather than generating text token by token. The model supports yes/no judgments, multiple-choice, and scale ratings, with multiple-choice allowing up to 255 options, and can accept text, images, audio, video, and PDFs, with a maximum of 1000 questions per request, a context window of 256K, and an end-to-end latency of about 150 to 250 milliseconds, returning confidence for each answer.The input price is $0.10 per million tokens, with output not charged. Google states that this price is about one-fifth of Flash-Lite. The project began as an internal prototype at Google DeepMind, with a small team delivering the model and interface after about six weeks. Google’s self-testing shows that Decision 1 leads in 5 out of 7 shared benchmarks against the TypeSafe decision model Jev 1.14, with JevBench at 92.2% and Jev 1.14 at 90.0%. The input price for Jev is $0.042 per million tokens.

Joe Flanagan, co-founder of the on-chain asset management platform Maple, announced his decision to leave Maple. He stated that Maple has been the center of his life for the past seven years, and leading and building this company has been his full commitment. His partnership with co-founder Sid Powell has lasted nearly a decade, during which they built a business that he has always been proud of. Over time, their views on strategy, leadership style, and life orientation have gradually diverged, and these differences are no longer beneficial to the team or the business. He believes it is more appropriate for one co-founder to continue leading Maple forward than to allow these differences to persist and widen.Joe Flanagan stated that as a co-founder, he needs to agree with the decisions he has participated in, the direction he asks others to follow, and the choices for which he still needs to be responsible. He mentioned that he can no longer continue to do so with conviction and loyalty to his own values, and therefore chose to leave rather than continue to support a direction he cannot agree with. He will assist with the transition for the remainder of this year and provide support as requested by Sid and the team, after which he will no longer participate in Maple. He also stated that he has not left the industry and is currently formulating his next steps, which he will share more about soon. Maple officially confirmed that Joe Flanagan will step down as chairman and leave the company, describing this as an orderly transition agreed upon by both parties, with the company's direction remaining unchanged; since 2019, he has helped Maple expand its managed assets to $4.8 billion and its loan issuance to $20 billion.

On Tuesday, Google announced that its cutting-edge artificial intelligence model, Gemini 4 Carbon, is now open to paid developers and enterprise customers. Google stated that the model is capable of handling complex programming, cybersecurity, and scientific research tasks that involve multiple steps. Gemini 4 Carbon was released on October 28, having previously been available to select cybersecurity defense agencies through the Fairwind program. Following this opening, paid developers can use the model via the Gemini API in Google AI Studio, while enterprise customers can access it through Gemini for business. Google AI Ultra subscribers will also gradually gain access to the Gemini application, Google Search AI mode, and Antigravity.In early tests, OpenCode software engineer Kit Langton reported that the team submitted a list of requirements to Carbon before the end of the workday, requesting solutions for consistency issues between the application interface and the existing UI framework. After running overnight, Carbon built a Rust UI library from scratch, rewrote the OpenCode desktop application, and provided a runnable demo version. The Wiz team under Google stated that while using Carbon for cyber to scan two large software service providers, the model identified zero-day vulnerabilities within two hours and subsequently collaborated with the affected agencies to complete the fixes. Google did not disclose the names of these service providers or the details of the vulnerabilities. Researchers also combined Carbon with other models, using the AlphaProof Code intelligent agent framework to complete the formal verification of the security properties of the underlying code of the Signal encryption protocol within weeks.In terms of pricing, Google set the initial experience price for Carbon's API at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, the same as Gemini 4 Argon. This offer lasts until November 30, after which the price will double, adjusting to $4 per million input tokens and $20 per million output tokens, applicable to the publicly available Carbon model. Google stated that Carbon ranked first in three benchmark tests: CursorBench 4.0, Perplexity WANDR, and Zapier AutomationBench, with the cost of single-task performance being less than half that of the next best external models. Google also mentioned that the model intercepted 99% of attack paths in a simulated cyberattack test, and achieved a 0% success rate in another prompt injection test.

According to Forbes, an unsealed search warrant shows that a former senior financial crime investigator at Binance stated during questioning by the IRS in May of this year that Binance's management ignored calls for an internal investigation into approximately 2,000 accounts suspected to be used by individuals within Iran, involving about $1.2 billion in fund flows (codenamed "Operation Loclock").The investigator was previously suspended along with several colleagues for investigating two accounts suspected of violating U.S. sanctions by transferring funds to Iran, and later left the company. He has since received a subpoena to testify before a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C. Binance responded that it has not violated Iranian sanctions, that the relevant investigators were terminated for violating company data privacy policies, that the investigation into the accounts has never been closed, and that the company will fully cooperate with law enforcement. No charges have been filed in this investigation so far.
