We used to put a plain question mark here, yet with Carlsen playing it, naturally this is not possible anymore. It seems that the assessment "there is no need for this move, Black gets very little compensation for the pawn" can't be maintained.

[The engines want to play 14.g4
This looks logical: White controls the square f5 and prepares Kg2. But what about the long-term consequences? Somewhen, Black might have a bishop on the diagonal h1-a8.; 14.Nc3
has been played most often so far and is probably best.]

White now is even a pawn down, but has an active position in return. Still, Black's position is preferable.
