Google Launches Gemini 4 Hydrogen for Everyday AI

Google has introduced Gemini 4 Hydrogen, a fast and efficient model designed for everyday coding and agentic workflows. It surpasses the existing Gemini 4 Argon on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index and completes tasks 2.5 times faster than Gemini 3.8 Flash. Priced at $1.50 per million input tokens and $7.50 per million output tokens across a 1 million-token context window, Hydrogen is available across Google AI Studio, the Gemini API, the Gemini app, Google Search, and paid subscribers. A new Orchestrator feature in Google Antigravity dynamically switches between Hydrogen and Carbon models to reduce quota usage by 24% and speed up tasks by 19%.
