Google introduces Gemini 4 Hydrogen for faster agentic work
Original title: Introducing Gemini 4 Hydrogen
Flat pricing is $1.50 per million input tokens and $7.50 per million output tokens across a 1 million-token window.
Google DeepMind introduced Gemini 4 Hydrogen on November 12 as a faster Gemini 4 model for everyday coding and agentic workflows, separate from frontier models Carbon and Argon. It is available in Google AI Studio, the Gemini API, Gemini for business, the Gemini app, Google Search, and to paid Pro and Ultra subscribers in Google Antigravity. Google says Hydrogen beats Argon on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index at default high thinking, 51 versus 50, and reaches 54 at xhigh. New Orchestrator can switch between models such as Carbon and Hydrogen in one session.
Unconfirmed: Benchmark scores, speed and token comparisons are Google’s figures, not independent results.
- Google says Hydrogen is 2.5 times faster than Gemini 3.8 Flash at the high default.
- Terminal-Bench 4.1 scores are 57% versus 18.2% for 3.8 Flash, Google says.
- Orchestrator used 24% less quota and finished 19% faster on Terminal-Bench 4.0.
- Thinking levels are low, medium, high and a new xhigh tier.
- Output can reach 1 million tokens, matching the input window.
