Gemini 4 Hydrogen

Google has introduced Gemini 4 Hydrogen, a new AI model designed for speed and efficiency in everyday coding and agentic workflows, priced at $1.50 per million input tokens and $7.50 per million output tokens. While frontier models like Carbon and Argon handle complex reasoning tasks, Hydrogen excels at rapid task execution and can work standalone or pair with more powerful models in multi-model workflows. Google also unveiled Orchestrator, which automatically switches between models to optimize performance, achieving near-Carbon success rates while using 24% less quota and running 19% faster.
