Mark Kretschmann(@mark_k):Google just launched Gemini 4 Hydrogen! And this new model is seriously impressive. Despite being optimized for speed and efficiency, Hydrogen actually beats Gemini 4 Argon on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, scoring 51 vs. 50, and reaching 54 with maximum reasoning effort! Compared to Gemini 3.8 Flash, it's 2.5x faster, more than triples its Terminal-Bench score, and reduces fabricated claims by over 5x. It also features a 1 million-token context window, four thinking levels, and a new Orchestrator that automatically switches between Hydrogen and Carbon for complex agentic tasks. Best of all, Hydrogen is available to everyone, including free Gemini users!
