Google has announced that its AI assistant, Gemini
Google has announced that its AI assistant, Gemini, now utilizes the 2.0 Flash model for all users. Previously available in experimental mode, this Large Language Model (LLM) is now stable and accessible via both the web and Android applications. The 2.0 Flash model enhances the previous versions, Flash 1.5 and Pro 1.5, offering faster performance, with certain benchmarks indicating a doubling of speed. According to Gemini, Flash 2.0 is ideal for daily tasks, providing improved performance, quicker time to first token (TTFT), multimodal understanding, coding capabilities, adeptness at following complex instructions, and functionality calling. Paying Gemini Advanced users will continue to have access to a 1 million token context window, up to 1,500 pages of file uploads, and priority access to features like Deep Research and Gems. While Gemini 2.0 Flash is now the default model for new conversations, Google has confirmed that it will maintain 1.5 Flash and 1.5 Pro in existing ones for the next few weeks.
