Gemini 4 Hydrogen API on ModelFold
Gemini 4 Hydrogen is the high-efficiency workhorse of Google’s Gemini 4 family, built for high-throughput agentic workflows, coding and multi-model routing at lower cost and latency. It takes text, image, audio, video and file input. Try Gemini 4 Hydrogen in the ModelFold Playground, then call it from your own code through an OpenAI-compatible chat completions API.
What Is the Gemini 4 Hydrogen API
Gemini 4 Hydrogen at a glance
Gemini 4 Hydrogen is a chat model from Google. It accepts text, images, video, audio and files (such as PDF) as input and returns text, with a context window of up to 1M tokens.
Use it without hosting anything
On ModelFold you call Gemini 4 Hydrogen with a single API key — no model weights to download and no inference servers to run. The same key also works for the other chat, image, video and audio models on ModelFold.
Core Capabilities of Gemini 4 Hydrogen
Up to 1M tokens of context
Keep long conversations, large documents and sizeable code in a single request, so the model can reason over the full material instead of fragments.
Understands images, video, audio and files (such as PDF)
Besides text, Gemini 4 Hydrogen accepts images, video, audio and files (such as PDF) as input, so a single request can combine instructions with visual or other media.
Function calling
Gemini 4 Hydrogen supports tool (function) calling: describe your functions in the request and the model returns structured calls your code can run — the basis for agents and integrations.
Adjustable reasoning effort
Choose a reasoning effort level (low, medium or high) per request to balance depth of thinking against speed and token usage.
Structured outputs
Ask for JSON that follows a schema (response_format), which makes extraction, classification and system integrations more reliable.
How to Use Gemini 4 Hydrogen on ModelFold

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Gemini 4 Hydrogen?⌄
Gemini 4 Hydrogen is the high-efficiency workhorse of Google’s Gemini 4 family, built for high-throughput agentic workflows, coding and multi-model routing at lower cost and latency. It takes text, image, audio, video and file input.
Which inputs does Gemini 4 Hydrogen support?⌄
Gemini 4 Hydrogen accepts text, images, video, audio and files (such as PDF) and returns text. Through ModelFold you can send text and images (OpenAI-style image_url content); in the Playground you can also attach documents, which are converted to text.
How long is the context window of Gemini 4 Hydrogen?⌄
Up to 1M tokens, shared between your input and the model’s output.
Does Gemini 4 Hydrogen support function calling?⌄
Yes. Gemini 4 Hydrogen supports tools / function calling through the standard tools parameter of the chat completions API.
How is Gemini 4 Hydrogen billed on ModelFold?⌄
Pay as you go by tokens: input and output tokens are charged at the per-million-token prices shown on this page. There is no monthly fee, and failed requests are not charged.
How do I call Gemini 4 Hydrogen through the API?⌄
Send a POST request to https://modelfold.ai/v1/chat/completions with "model": "gemini-4-hydrogen", using your ModelFold API key as the Bearer token.
| Input | 360 credits 1M tokens≈ $1.80 |
| Output | 1800 credits 1M tokens≈ $9.00 |
Billed per token: input and output are priced separately, and thinking tokens count as output. The Playground charges exactly the same way.
