Today, we’re growing the Gemini 4 model series by introducing Gemini 4 Hydrogen.
What happened
Google introduces Gemini 4 Hydrogen as an addition to the Gemini 4 model series, describing it as a faster, more efficient option for everyday coding and agentic workflows. Google says it surpasses Argon on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index at its default thinking level and runs at 2.5x the speed of Gemini 3.8 Flash. The post also shows a 3D Medic Managed Agent app built in Google AI Studio using Hydrogen to inspect 3D files, catch errors, and patch them before export.

Today, we’re growing the Gemini 4 model series by introducing Gemini 4 Hydrogen.
While Gemini 4 Carbon tackles your hardest problems, Hydrogen brings cutting-edge intelligence to everyone — with speed and efficiency for everyday coding and agentic workflows, surpassing Argon on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index at its default thinking level, at 2.5x the speed of Gemini 3.8 Flash, with tunable thinking levels built to work alongside Carbon in @antigravity.
Watch how the 3D Medic Managed Agent app built in @GoogleAIStudio uses Gemini 4 Hydrogen to inspect your 3D files, catch errors, and patch them before export.
The story so far
Google launched Gemini 4 Hydrogen across Search, the Gemini app, Google AI Studio, the Gemini API, Gemini for business, and Google Antigravity for AI Pro and Ultra subscribers; Cursor also made it available. Google says Hydrogen completes tasks 2.5 times faster than Gemini 3.8 Flash. It is the default model in Search AI Mode and handles the hardest questions in AI Overviews, where Google says it brings more links, visuals, structured responses, and comparison tables. Access depends on the product: Google says Hydrogen is available across all AI Studio and Gemini API tiers, with usage limits on free tiers, while AI Pro and Ultra subscribers can use it in Antigravity. A report says Gemini app subscribers on Plus, Pro, and Ultra can select Hydrogen, while free users may get it through automatic model selection. Cursor reports a 54.3% CursorBench score at default effort, compared with 39.6% for Gemini 3.8 Flash. Artificial Analysis ranked Hydrogen fourth overall on its AA-Robotics v0.1 benchmark, the highest-ranked Google model.
