Google (GOOGL.US) Releases Gemini 4 Hydrogen: Everyday Coding Model with a Focus on “Fast and Saving”

The Zhitong Finance App learned that Google (GOOGL.US) released its latest artificial intelligence model Gemini 4 Hydrogen on Thursday, positioned as “fast and efficient for everyday coding and intelligent workflow.”

In a post, Google said, “In actual software development, teams rely on cutting-edge models such as Carbon and Argon to make deep architectural decisions when designing or investigating minor flaws; but they still need a fast and rigorous execution model to write code, run tests, and verify changes.” “Hydrogen's positioning is not only an independent model for everyday work, but also as an efficient execution engine in multi-model workflows.”

Google added that under the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index's default high thinking intensity setting, Hydrogen surpassed the company's cutting-edge model Argon (50 points) with 51 points and reached 54 points at the highest xhigh thinking intensity setting.

According to Google, the model is priced at $1.50 for every 1 million input tokens and $7.50 for every 1 million tokens output. In line with this launch, Google said Hydrogen is being promoted globally in various scenarios for developers, businesses, and consumers. Developers can access it through the Gemini API in AI Studio and Android Studio's paid tier, and paid Google AI Pro or Ultra subscribers can also use it. Enterprise users can access Gemini through the API or model drop-down menu, Google Antigravity, and Google Sheets.

Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers can also use this model in the Gemini app, Google Search, and Gemini in Google Sheets. Google added that this makes the Gemini 4 model open to everyone.
