Gemini 4 Hydrogen

gemini-4-hydrogen

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.

Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image (Google Vertex AI)

Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image served from Google Vertex AI. Billed per image at US$0.0336. Call it through /v1/chat/completions with stream set to false; the image is returned in the message content as a base64 data URI. Maximum output resolution is 1K. A request for a larger size returns a 1K image with the same aspect ratio at the same price. When a size is reduced, the response carries an X-Image-Resolution-Capped header with the requested and delivered size.
