› In short: Gemini 4 Hydrogen is the cheapest and fastest model in the Gemini 4 family.
› Since 12 November 2026 it works in the Gemini app (free users get it automatically when Google decides it fits the prompt), in Google Search and in the Gemini API, where it has a free tier.
› On the paid tier it costs 1.50 USD per million input tokens and 7.50 USD per million output tokens.
› In my test of 23 tasks it got everything right.
