Sources & methodology
Gemini 4 Hydrogen is not on the arena.ai Agents leaderboard, so it has no rank on our default leaderboard; the other data below is for reference.
- arena.ai Agents — agent Net Improvement, 95% interval, sessions and rank (via the public Hugging Face dataset, CC BY 4.0).
- LMArena — Arena score (Text leaderboard with style control, the same view arena.ai shows by default), 95% confidence interval, votes and rank.
- Artificial Analysis — Intelligence / Coding Index, output speed and latency (medians).
- OpenRouter — Route prices, context length and listing date.
Arena scores use the Bradley-Terry model (not Elo); ± is the half-width of the 95% confidence interval. Latency figures are Artificial Analysis medians; for reasoning models, time to first token and to first answer include the thinking phase. Data syncs daily at 14:20 (UTC+8).
Limits: Arena scores come from anonymous users voting on chats, so they reflect conversational preference rather than agent or coding benchmarks; with few votes the interval is wide and ranks move. Prices and speeds change as providers update them.
FAQ
What rank is Gemini 4 Hydrogen right now?
Gemini 4 Hydrogen is #13 on our leaderboard of 72 scored models (Arena score 1490.4); its raw LMArena rank is #15.
What does Gemini 4 Hydrogen cost via API?
