Google promises a smarter, speedier Gemini
Google has unveiled the next iteration of the Gemini AI model family, starting with the smallest version, Gemini 2.0 Flash. Gemini 2.0 promises faster performance, sharper reasoning, and enhanced multimodal capabilities, among other upgrades, as it is integrated into Google’s various AI and AI-adjacent services.
The timing for the news may have something to do with wanting to step on OpenAI and Apple’s toes with their respective 12 Days of OpenAI and new Apple Intelligence news this week, especially since Gemini 2.0 is mostly built around experiments for developers. Still, there are some immediate opportunities for those on the non-enterprise side of things. Specifically, Gemini Assistant users and those who see AI Overviews when using Google Search will be able to engage with Gemini 2.0 Flash.
If you interact with the Gemini AI through the website on a desktop or mobile browser, you can now play with Gemini 2.0 Flash. You can pick it from the list of models in the drop-down menu.
