Platform facts are the Gemini API listing's (gemini-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. Discovery document for GenerateContent (20 of 25). llms.txt with Markdown twins (10). The Cloud developer guide says what Hydrogen takes, every parameter that's ignored or returns 400, the thought-signature rules and how to migrate from Gemini 3.8 Flash, though it doesn't document forced calls (15 of 20). Structured output to a JSON Schema with some keywords not enforced (10 of 15). Examples and an errors page (15). Dated changelog and model versions (15). 20 + 10 + 15 + 10 + 15 + 15 = 85.\n- Router.com (Ramp Router) (58): Router, scored on the API lines. No OpenAPI or other machine-readable contract found. /openapi.json on docs.router.com returns the docs app shell. The API follows the OpenAI and Anthropic wire formats, which this checklist doesn't credit to a router, the same reading as RouterPlus (0 of 25). llms.txt and a Markdown copy of every page at the same path with `.md` (10). Pages say which endpoint to prefer and why, what isn't served (embeddings, files, batches), which Chat Completions controls return 501, and which workload suits which job (17 of 20). Router-only fields are tabled with types and bounds, the route selector rules are stated (`model` or `models` but never both, 1 to 15 candidates), over-limit timeouts are a 400 naming the maximum, and the model list documents a typed `router` object with a `schema_version`. Request bodies otherwise follow the upstream formats (12 of 15). curl, OpenAI SDK, Anthropic SDK, LangChain, Vercel AI SDK, LlamaIndex and Pydantic AI examples, and an error reference with a status, code and action for each case (15). Paths sit under `/v1` and the model object is versioned, but no API changelog or dated release notes were found (4 of 15).\n\n### Maintenance \u0026 community: Gemini 4 Hydrogen +26\n\n- Gemini 4 Hydrogen (85): Model reading for gemini-4-hydrogen on the Gemini API. Platform facts are the Gemini API listing's (gemini-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. Released on 12 November 2026, recorded in Google Cloud's release notes; the Gemini API changelog, last updated 30 October, has no entry for it yet (30). Google Cloud states a minimum of 45 days' notice before Hydrogen is retired, short and stated for Cloud only; the Gemini API's deprecations give earliest dates with no stated minimum (6 of 12). Shutdowns in the last 90 days kept to their table (4 of 8). Dated changelog (15). SDK replies not sampled (5 of 10). Current SDKs; the developer guide names the minimum google-genai, @google/genai, Go and Java versions (15). Runtimes stated (10). 30 + 6 + 4 + 15 + 5 + 15 + 10 = 85.\n- Router.com (Ramp Router) (59): Router, read on the model lines for a closed service. The Ramp CLI that ships the `router` commands tagged v0.2.91 on 3 November 2026, a release that changes `router.py` and `router_credentials.py`, one of 81 tags since 6 August (30). Models carry a `deprecated` status and the docs list deprecated and retired models, but no notice period is stated, and the Baseten retirement note gives no date and says requests aren't redirected (4 of 12). Provider-specific Baseten ids and several Fireworks models were retired without dates. The API host moved from router-api.ramp.com to api.router.com, and the old host still answers (3 of 8). No public API changelog. Support is a dashboard button and router@ramp.com, not tested (5 of 15). ramp-cli issue replies were not read, because GitHub's API wasn't available to this session (3 of 10). No API SDK. The Ramp CLI (MIT, npm @ramp/router and @ramp/cli, tagged v0.2.91 in the repository, Homebrew; npm itself not read) sets up agents and keys (7 of 15). The CLI repository has CI, build, npm and router-integration workflows and a tests folder, with 46 commit days since 29 July. ci.yml runs `cargo test` and `pytest` on pushes to main, and the results were not readable (7 of 10).\n\n### Reliability: Gemini 4 Hydrogen +23\n\n- Gemini 4 Hydrogen (45): Model reading for gemini-4-hydrogen on the Gemini API. Platform facts are the Gemini API listing's (gemini-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. Status page at aistudio.google.com/status with no readable components or history (10 of 20) and no readable incident record (5 of 30). Rate-limit tiers and spend limits published, per-model limits in AI Studio (5 of 15). Backoff guidance for 429 and 503 and SDK retries (15). No SLA (0). Google Cloud's release notes and model page call Hydrogen generally available, a short-term release, under the same model ID; the Gemini API pages read don't name a stage, so full marks rest on Cloud's statement (10, a judgement call; Carbon, with no stage stated anywhere, got 5). 10 + 5 + 5 + 15 + 0 + 10 = 45.\n- Router.com (Ramp Router) (22): Hosted reading. No status page found. status.router.com still does not resolve on 4 November, router.com/status answers 404, and neither the docs nor router.com link one (0). No readable incident history (5). No request or token rate limits are published. The docs say limits vary by model and list only technical limits, a 100 MiB body, 15 candidates and 100 keys per user (0). The errors page passes through provider `retry-after` and `retry-after-ms`, tells clients to respect them, gives a retry or fallback action for every 4xx and 5xx code, says retrying a 501 unchanged won't help and that a failed fallback candidate is not retried, and the fallbacks guide says truncated attempts are billed on top of later attempts. No idempotency key exists for the generation call that starts billing, so this is safe-retry guidance without keys (12). No SLA found in the docs or on router.com (0). The public API carries no beta label in the docs, and the docs llms.txt, re-read on 4 November, still says to treat 'beta pricing, limits, and enterprise controls as subject to change'. A 27 October reading of Ramp's product schedule came from the legal site's script and is no longer counted, so the line keeps its earlier partial value (5 of 10). 0 + 5 + 0 + 12 + 0 + 5 = 22.\n\n### Payments \u0026 pricing: Router.com (Ramp Router) +20\n\n- Gemini 4 Hydrogen (40): Model reading for gemini-4-hydrogen on the Gemini API. Platform facts are the Gemini API listing's (gemini-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. No machine payment protocol (0). Prices published in Google's announcement without a login, $1.50 input and $7.50 output per million tokens, flat across the window; the Gemini API pricing page, now at aistudio.google.com, is still to be read for Hydrogen's row (20). A free tier with no card: Google's announcement puts Hydrogen on all tiers of the Gemini API, and the free tier needs no billing account per the gemini-api listing; its limits for Hydrogen are on that pricing page (20). A Google account and AI Studio for a key (0). 0 + 20 + 20 + 0 = 40.\n- Router.com (Ramp Router) (60): No x402, MPP or L402 in any of the 41 docs pages. Calls draw on account credit (0). Per-token prices for every model are public at router.com/models and in the supported-models page without a login (20). Router.com says routing is free through 2026 and the first $26 of credits are free, and BYOK requests carry no Router charge. We did not sign up to confirm that no card is asked for (20). A person signs up in the browser with a US business email or Sign in with Ramp, and the CLI creates keys only after browser approval (0). Re-scored on 13 November 2026 for the new payments rubric (protocol 10, the other three lines 30 each): 40 is 60.\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: Router.com (Ramp Router) +16\n\n- Gemini 4 Hydrogen (50): Model reading for gemini-4-hydrogen on the Gemini API. Platform facts are the Gemini API listing's (gemini-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. Keys bound to a service account and restricted to the Gemini API, with no scopes and a token accepted in the URL (15 of 30, the platform's deduction). Hydrogen is on the free tier, where Google's terms say content is used to improve products and may be read by humans; paid-tier content isn't (10 of 20, the platform's reading; Carbon, paid tier only, got 15). Abuse retention has no number and new paid projects store requests by default since 26 October; Google's prompt-injection figure (2.3 times more resilient on Gray Swan's benchmark) is its own, and the model card says jailbreak resistance is still being improved (5 of 15). Request logs for billed projects (15). security.txt and a reward programme, no certification naming the API (5 of 20). 15 + 10 + 5 + 15 + 5 = 50.\n- Router.com (Ramp Router) (66): Router, read on the model lines. Router keys are shown once, can expire, carry lifetime or periodic spend caps, can be locked, unlocked or revoked, and each key has its own model set and default workload. No permission scopes or programmatic rotation were found (24 of 30). The docs FAQ says Ramp-side content recording is on by default and keeps inputs, outputs and tool calls for one year for debugging, semantic analysis and product improvement, with detected personal data removed before product use. Provider training terms are in Ramp's Provider Schedule, which renders only with JavaScript. Its 27 October reading came from the legal site's script and is no longer counted, so the line is held (6 of 20). Recording can be switched off account-wide, propagating asynchronously and without deleting existing archives, and flagged content may still be kept up to 30 days. The docs FAQ points to the Provider Schedule for zero data retention policies and exceptions, which could not be read, so the line is held (10 of 15). Logs show model, provider, status, tokens, cost, latency, fallback candidates, credential source and routing decisions per request, with usage export to S3 for Router Admins (14 of 15). A valid security.txt on router.com points to Ramp's security address. Ramp's SOC 2 and ISO 27001 reports, per the ramp listing's 8 October check, were not shown to cover Router, which is a separate product under its own terms. No bug bounty found (12 of 20).\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Gemini 4 Hydrogen +13\n\n- Gemini 4 Hydrogen (90): Model reading for gemini-4-hydrogen on the Gemini API. Platform facts are the Gemini API listing's (gemini-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. Function calling, with forced calls by FunctionCallingConfig on the API (20). Structured output to a response_schema, listed as supported on the Cloud model page (13 of 15). Implicit caching on prefixes of 4,096 tokens or more with durable caching on by default and explicit caches not supported, per the Cloud model page; the announcement names no cached-input price (12 of 15). 1,048,576 tokens shared between input and output, with background long decode up to 1M (15). Batch at half price on the platform (10). Python and JavaScript SDKs, and an OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions surface (10). Error codes with backoff guidance (10 of 15). 20 + 13 + 12 + 15 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 90.\n- Router.com (Ramp Router) (77): Router, read on the model lines (tool use, structured output, caching, context, batch, SDKs, errors). Tools pass through on Responses, Messages and Chat Completions, and `GET /v1/models` reports `tools.supported` and `parallel` per model, with `null` where Router doesn't know. Behaviour depends on the model (16 of 20). The docs say JSON Schema output is expected to work across providers subject to model support, and each model carries a `structured_outputs` flag. A request the provider can't represent is a 501 (12 of 15). Cache read and write prices per model, a `prompt_cache_key` session lease of 5 or 30 minutes that keeps a session on the provider with a warm cache, and `cache_control` on Messages (14 of 15). Contexts up to 1,050,000 tokens on GPT-6.1 Sol and 1,048,576 on Kimi K3, a judgement call since a router has no default model (15). No batch route; the docs say Router doesn't serve batches (0 of 10). No SDK of its own. The OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs work with a changed base URL, framework setups are documented, and the MIT Ramp CLI configures six coding agents (5 of 10). Typed codes for every error, a `limit` object naming the cap and who set it, an all-candidates-failed summary, request and trace ids on every response and the serving provider in a header (15).\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Gemini 4 Hydrogen | Router.com (Ramp Router) | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 45 | 22 | Gemini 4 Hydrogen +23 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 85 | 58 | Gemini 4 Hydrogen +27 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 90 | 77 | Gemini 4 Hydrogen +13 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 50 | 66 | Router.com (Ramp Router) +16 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 40 | 60 | Router.com (Ramp Router) +20 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 85 | 59 | Gemini 4 Hydrogen +26 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 72 | 64 | Gemini 4 Hydrogen +8 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **64.9 · B** | **56.2 · C** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Gemini 4 Hydrogen | Router.com (Ramp Router) |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Model API | Model router |\n| Vendor | Google | Ramp |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta` | `https://api.router.com/v1` |\n| Transports | | HTTP |\n| Auth | API key | API key |\n| Pricing | Pay per use | Pay per use |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Closed model, used through the Gemini API and Google's apps under Google's terms | Closed service under the Router Terms of Service (last updated 31 August 2026).

Sampling parameters are ignored, explicit caching isn't supported, it's a short-term release with 45 days' notice on Cloud, and the benchmarks are Google's.\n\n**Router.com (Ramp Router).** Detailed Markdown docs with typed error codes, per-model capability data and routing an agent can set per request. No OpenAPI document, status page, changelog or published rate limits were found. Signup needs a US business email in a browser, and Ramp records prompts and outputs for a year by default unless switched off.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Gemini 4 Hydrogen\n\n1. Call generateContent at https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta with model gemini-4-hydrogen and an x-goog-api-key\n2. Set thinking_level instead of thinking_budget; the default is HIGH, so set MEDIUM to keep 3.8 Flash's latency\n3. Don't send temperature, top_p, top_k, penalties or candidate_count above 1\n4. Pass every thought_signature back in its original part, on the first parallel functionCall only, or the call returns a 400\n5. Put static content of 4,096 tokens or more first so implicit caching applies, and keep confidential prompts off the free tier\n\n### Router.com (Ramp Router)\n\n1. Switch off content recording in Settings before sending private data. It is on by default and keeps prompts and outputs for a year\n2. Read model ids from `GET /v1/models` at runtime. Ids are account-specific, an unknown one is a 404, and Gemini ids need your own Google key\n3. Use `POST /v1/responses` with a `models` list for fallbacks. Router stops falling back once a stream has started\n4. Set `fallback_timeout` and `provider_timeout`, or `allow_flex_tier: false`, when latency matters. Flex routing is on by default\n5. Treat both `401 invalid_api_key` and `401 api_key_deactivated` as a possibly locked key, and stop retrying on `402`\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Gemini 4 Hydrogen or Router.com (Ramp Router)?\n\nGemini 4 Hydrogen scores 64.9 (B) on agent readiness against Router.com (Ramp Router)'s 56.2 (C), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Router.com (Ramp Router) leads on security \u0026 auth and payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Gemini 4 Hydrogen and Router.com (Ramp Router) need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Gemini 4 Hydrogen and Router.com (Ramp Router) without installing anything?\n\nYes.
