Gemini users can now ask it to examine longer pieces of text or code and will soon be able to upload files, but Gemini will still reject requests to make images of people.
Google’s free version of Gemini will now use its 1.5 Flash model instead of its 1.0 Pro version, the tech giant announced Thursday.
The 1.5 Flash AI model has a bigger “context window”, meaning it can analyze longer documents than before. This also means users can give Gemini a lot more data, and Gemini is expected to respond faster than before while keeping a better “memory” of previous queries.
While this new version is free for all Gemini users, developers still get a more powerful version of 1.5 Flash. Free users get 32K tokens, while invited devs can get 1 million tokens via Google’s AI Studio and Vertex AI. In the world of AI, tokens are a unit to measure data or pieces of words.
