Gemini 4 Hydrogen vs GPT-6.1 Sol
GPT-6.1 Sol leads Gemini 4 Hydrogen on coding, 79.8 to 77.9 on the Vibe Coding Index, and Gemini 4 Hydrogen costs 1.3x less per output token ($7.50 vs $10.00 per million). Updated November 14, 2026; 49 benchmarks have a result for both.
Gemini 4 Hydrogen or GPT-6.1 Sol: which to pick
Gemini 4 Hydrogen and GPT-6.1 Sol are level for coding, 77.9 against 79.8 on the Vibe Coding Index, so price and context decide.
Pick Gemini 4 Hydrogen for output tokens 1.3x cheaper ($7.50 vs $10.00 per million) and work measured by LMArena Text: coding or LMArena Text: software and IT, where it leads. Pick GPT-6.1 Sol for a larger context window (1.05M against 1.05M tokens) and work measured by LiveBench coding or LMArena WebDev, where it leads.
