Google just rolled out Gemini 4 Hydrogen, its newest and more efficient AI upgrade.
This model isn't just lighter; it's also outperformed rivals like Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 5.5 and OpenAI's GPT-6.1 Terra in key tests.
You'll start noticing it powering Google Search and the Gemini app, making everyday AI interactions smoother.
Gemini 4 beats Argon priced $1.50/$7.50
Gemini 4 Hydrogen performed better on several benchmarks, even beating Google's own recent Argon model.
It's also pretty affordable: $1.50 per 1 million input tokens and $7.50 per 1 million output tokens.
By plugging it into all its platforms at this price, Google is aiming to make advanced AI tools way more accessible for everyone, whether you're a developer or just curious about what AI can do next.
