AI Model Comparison
Side-by-side comparison of pricing, context window, benchmarks, capabilities, and license. Every figure comes from the developer's own pages, last checked on ; each model's page lists its sources. A figure we could not source shows as a dash.
Model A — Google DeepMind
Gemini 4 Hydrogen is Google's fast Gemini 4 model for everyday coding and agentic work, released on November 12, 2026 in the Gemini API, Google AI Studio, the Gemini app and Google Search. Adapted from Gemini 4 Carbon, it takes text, image, audio and video input, offers four thinking levels, and has a March 2026 knowledge cutoff.
Model B — OpenAI
GPT-6.1 Sol is an OpenAI reasoning model released on September 29, 2026 that OpenAI says delivers near-Astra performance at a lower cost for complex coding, computer use and professional work. It takes text and image input and returns text.

Bold green values indicate the winner on that dimension where comparison is meaningful (lower price wins; bigger context wins; more open license wins; newer date wins). Prices are the ones each developer lists today; a model it no longer prices has none.
