The Brief · written from 9 sources

  • Google launched Gemini 4 Hydrogen on 2026-11-12, available in AI Studio, the Gemini API, Google Search, and paid AI Pro and Ultra tiers in Antigravity.
  • Hydrogen is priced at $1.50 per 1M input tokens and $7.50 per 1M output tokens.
  • Hydrogen replaces the Flash series, and The Decoder reports it outscores the larger Argon model on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index.

Why it matters

Developers using the Gemini API or AI Studio get a new model with published per-token pricing, and teams relying on Flash models will need to evaluate the replacement. Vercel AI Gateway also lists the model.

Who’s affected

  • Developers using the Gemini API
  • Teams using AI Studio or Google Antigravity
  • Vercel AI Gateway users

What to do

  1. Evaluate Gemini 4 Hydrogen against your current Flash or Argon model if you rely on those for cost or latency reasons.
