Description
Summary	Gemini 4 Hydrogen is Google's high-efficiency multimodal model in the Gemini 4 family, optimized for high-throughput agentic workflows, coding, and multi-model routing. It delivers strong performance at lower cost and latency than Gemini 4 Carbon, supporting text, image, audio, video, and file inputs for versatile multimodal applications. Designed for scalable production workloads and long-horizon execution, Gemini 4 Hydrogen supports up to 1M output tokens through continuation and configurable reasoning effort levels (low, medium, high, and xhigh) to balance reasoning depth, speed, and cost. It is well suited for coding assistants, autonomous agents, complex workflow automation, and large-scale AI systems.	Claude Fable 5.2 is Anthropic's most capable model for advanced technical work and open-ended problem solving, delivering significant improvements in coding, reasoning, and vision over Fable 5.1. It excels at exceptionally complex tasks, including large-scale software migrations, electronic system design, and advanced scientific and mathematical research. With up to 30% faster output generation, clearer communication, and always-on adaptive extended thinking, Fable 5.2 supports configurable reasoning effort from low to max (default high), with thinking preserved across turns. Designed for frontier engineering, scientific discovery, and ambitious long-horizon agentic workflows, it complements Opus 5.5 as a specialized option for the most demanding technical challenges.	Gemini 4 Carbon is Google's frontier multimodal reasoning model, designed for advanced coding, agentic workflows, and complex multi-step problem solving. It supports text, image, audio, video, and file inputs, enabling integrated reasoning and analysis across diverse modalities. Optimized for long-horizon execution and demanding professional workloads, Gemini 4 Carbon supports up to 1M output tokens through continuation and configurable reasoning effort levels (low, medium, high) to balance reasoning depth, latency, and cost. It is well suited for autonomous agents, software engineering, multimodal analysis, and large-scale workflow automation.	Deepgram Nova-3 speech-to-text. Billed per second of audio.
