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 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.
