Gemini 4

OpenAI · 12.11.2026

Google's Gemini 4 Hydrogen replaces the Flash series, but benchmarks suggest it also makes the pricier Argon obsolete. On the independent Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, Hydrogen nearly matches Claude Sonnet 5.5 for less money but costs about 2.5 times more per task than GPT-6.1 Sol and still falls short on agentic coding.

How CheckCom classifies these signals

The Release Radar combines news signals, the model catalog, newly detected catalog entries and pricing-radar signals. An entry does not automatically mean that a model is production-ready, legally cleared or fully price-confirmed. CheckCom therefore marks source, signal type, pricing relevance, local/quantized hints and catalog matching.

  • Confirmed: strong source or catalog match available.
  • Candidate: detected from news; primary source or catalog match should still be checked.
  • Pricing-relevant: the item contains price, API, token, availability or billing signals.
  • Local / quantized: hints for open weights, GGUF, Ollama, quantization or edge hardware.

Additional detail reports

For customers, these data can be turned into detailed provider, model, pricing and migration reports. The public page shows a condensed market view; internal raw data and full candidate lists are not offered as public downloads.
