Google rolls out faster Gemini 4 Hydrogen for coding, agents

Google said on November 12 that Gemini 4 Hydrogen was rolling out globally across its developer, business, and consumer products.

The company said it was a faster Gemini model for coding and other agent-based tasks.

Google also introduced Orchestrator in Google Antigravity, which switches between models within the same session.

The company said Orchestrator achieved near-Carbon task success rates on Terminal-Bench 4.0 while using 24% less quota and finishing tasks 19% faster on average.

Google said Hydrogen scored 51 at its default high-thinking level on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, compared with Argon’s 50.

The company also described Hydrogen as an upgrade from Gemini 3.8 Flash.

Google listed Hydrogen’s price at US$1.50 per million input tokens and US$7.50 per million output tokens across a 1 million-token context window.

The review’s scrapes of the public benchmark methodology and API pricing pages contained no readable details.

That prevented independent verification of the benchmark methodology and of Hydrogen’s API availability, pricing, and access tiers.
