In December, we kicked off the agentic era by releasing an experimental version of Gemini 2.0 Flash — our highly efficient workhorse model for developers with low latency and enhanced performance. Earlier this year, we updated 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental in Google AI Studio, which improved its performance by combining Flash’s speed with the ability to reason through more complex problems.
And last week, we made an updated 2.0 Flash available to all users of the Gemini app on desktop and mobile, helping everyone discover new ways to create, interact and collaborate with Gemini.
Today, we’re making the updated Gemini 2.0 Flash generally available via the Gemini API in Google AI Studio and Vertex AI. Developers can now build production applications with 2.0 Flash.
We’re also releasing an experimental version of Gemini 2.0 Pro, our best model yet for coding performance and complex prompts. It is available in Google AI Studio and Vertex AI, and in the Gemini app for Gemini Advanced users.
We’re releasing a new model, Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite, our most cost-efficient model yet, in public preview in Google AI Studio and Vertex AI.
Finally, 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental will be available to Gemini app users in the model dropdown on desktop and mobile.
All of these models will feature multimodal input with text output on release, with more modalities ready for general availability in the coming months. More information, including specifics about pricing, can be found in the Google for Developers blog. Looking ahead, we’re working on more updates and improved capabilities for the Gemini 2.0 family of models.
2.0 Flash: a new update for general availability
First introduced at I/O 2024, the Flash series of models is popular with developers as a powerful workhorse model, optimal for high-volume, high-frequency tasks at scale and highly capable of multimodal reasoning across vast amounts of information with a context window of 1 million tokens. We’ve been thrilled to see its reception by the developer community.
2.0 Flash is now generally available to more people across our AI products, alongside improved performance in key benchmarks, with image generation and text-to-speech coming soon.
Try Gemini 2.0 Flash in the Gemini app or the Gemini API in Google AI Studio and Vertex AI. Pricing details can be found in the Google for Developers blog.
2.0 Pro Experimental: our best model yet for coding performance and complex prompts
As we’ve continued to share early, experimental versions of Gemini 2.0 like Gemini-Exp-1206, we’ve gotten excellent feedback from developers about its strengths and best use cases, like coding.
Today, we’re releasing an experimental version of Gemini 2.0 Pro that responds to that feedback. It has the strongest coding performance and ability to handle complex prompts, with better understanding and reasoning of world knowledge, than any model we’ve released so far. It comes with our largest context window at 2 million tokens, which enables it to comprehensively analyze and understand vast amounts of information, as well as the ability to call tools like Google Search and code execution.
