Gemini 4 Hydrogen is 2.5 times faster and cuts false information by 5 times
Gemini 4 Hydrogen is 2.5 times faster than 3.8 Flash and cuts fabricated claims by more than 5 times.
Google has rolled out Gemini 4 Hydrogen, a new AI model that replaces the older and slower Gemini 3.8 Flash. Even in high mode, Hydrogen is 2.5 times faster than Flash.
The model also cuts fabricated claims by more than 5 times, according to Google's testing. In code generation tasks, Hydrogen more than tripled Flash's performance score.
The model is integrated into Google Search to handle longer, more complex questions. Pricing for developers remains the same as Flash: $1.50 per million input tokens and $7.50 per million output tokens.
