Summary
Gemini 4 Hydrogen is rolling out globally today across Google AI Studio, the Gemini API, Gemini app, Search, business products, and paid Pro and Ultra tiers.
At its default high setting, Hydrogen scored 51 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index versus Argon’s 50, while pricing stays flat across a 1 million-token context window at $1.50 per million input tokens and $7.50 output.
Against Gemini 3.8 Flash, the new model finishes tasks 2.5 times faster, more than triples Terminal-Bench 4.1 scores to 57% from 18.2%, and cuts fabricated claims by more than 5x.
Google also introduced Orchestrator in Antigravity to switch between models in one session; on Terminal-Bench 4.0 it neared Carbon-level success rates while using 24% less quota and finishing 19% faster.
The launch extends Gemini 4 to developers, enterprises and consumers, with Google positioning Hydrogen as its everyday execution model for coding, agentic work and more capable Search responses.
