Gemini 4 Hydrogen in GitHub Copilot

GitHub made Google's Gemini 4 Hydrogen, the latest Flash model, generally available in GitHub Copilot for fast, efficient agentic coding, tool use and multistep workflows, with improved instruction following over Gemini 3.8 Flash. The model is available to Copilot Pro, Pro+, Max, Business and Enterprise users across Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, Copilot CLI, the Copilot coding agent, the Copilot app, github.com, GitHub Mobile on iOS and Android, JetBrains IDEs, Xcode and Eclipse, with a gradual rollout. It is billed at provider list pricing under usage-based billing, and Business and Enterprise administrators can manage access through the model policy in Copilot settings, where new models are enabled by default unless an administrator turns off the global default or explicitly disables the model.
