Description
SummaryGemini 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.Gemini 4 Argon is Google's flagship reasoning model, built for complex software engineering, deep mathematical and scientific problem solving, and autonomous multi-step agents. Google trained it to keep context across long, multi-step tasks and to turn long documents mixing text, tables, charts and images into a single grounded output. It leads the Vals Index across finance, legal, coding and tax work, and supports long decode of up to 1M output tokens in a single response.Deepgram Nova-3 speech-to-text. Billed per second of audio.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.
