Google DeepMind has launched Gemini 4 Hydrogen, a new AI model designed for speed and efficiency in coding and agentic workflows. This model is being made available across various Google products, including Google AI Studio, the Gemini API, and Google Search. Gemini 4 Hydrogen demonstrates improved performance over its predecessor, Gemini 4 Argon, on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index and offers faster task completion. It can function as a standalone model for everyday tasks or integrate with more powerful models like Gemini 4 Carbon and Argon through a new Orchestrator feature in Google Antigravity for complex, multi-model workloads.
