Sundar Pichai announced Gemini 4 Hydrogen, a model for everyday tasks, coding, and agentic workflows. He says it is 2.5 times faster than Gemini 3.8 Flash and offers four reasoning levels, with rollout across several Google products and paid plans.
Sundar Pichai announced the Gemini Decisions API, which scores up to 1,000 closed-set questions across text, images, audio, video, and PDFs in one pass. It offers yes/no, multiple-choice, and rubric scoring, with input priced at $0.10 per million tokens and no charge for output tokens.
Google DeepMind’s AlphaGenome 2 predicts how DNA variants affect specific cell types, helping researchers link genetic findings to disease causes. It is available for non-commercial research through the AlphaGenome API.
