Google Gemini 4 Hydrogen Launched: Price, Features And How It Compares With Rivals (AI-generated) As Google seems to be on a spree to launch powerful AI models, the tech giant has introduced the Gemini 4 Hydrogen on Thursday. This latest AI tool is claimed to handle coding tasks efficiently and execute complex agentic tasks at higher speeds. Google said in its official blog, “Today, we’re introducing Gemini 4 Hydrogen, bringing cutting-edge intelligence to everyone — with speed and efficiency for everyday coding and agentic workflows.” As per Google, Hydrogen has been developed to perform tasks that need faster execution rather than deeper reasoning. The Sundar Pichai-led firm argues that Hydrogen scores 51 on the AI Intelligence Index at its default high-thinking setting, compared with 50 for Gemini 4 Argon. Its score increases to 54 when using the highest xhigh thinking setting. In terms of the pricing, Google has priced the latest AI model at $1.50 per million input tokens and $7.50 per million output tokens. Google's blog also offered comparisons with Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 5.5 and OpenAI's GPT-6.1 Terra. On the Agents' Last Exam benchmark, Hydrogen scored 71.6 per cent, ahead of GPT-6.1 Terra's 69.8 per cent and Claude Sonnet 5.5's 60.4 per cent. However, the rivals performed better in certain areas. Claude Sonnet 5.5 scored 63.9 per cent on Terminal-Bench 4.1, against Hydrogen's 57 per cent. It also scored 83.9 per cent on OSWorld-2.1, compared with Hydrogen's 77.6 per cent. Hydrogen led on the HLE-Diamond reasoning benchmark with 58.8%, ahead of Claude's 53.3 per cent and GPT's 47.3 per cent. These are Google's published benchmark results and should not be treated as independent verification. Google said Gemini 4 Hydrogen is rolling out globally for consumers, developers and enterprise platforms. You can access the AI model through the Gemini app and Google Search. Developers can use it through Google AI Studio and the Gemini API, while businesses can access it through Gemini for business and Google Antigravity. Google is also bringing the model to eligible Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.
