Gemini 2.0 is now here!

Posted by on

Google just announced updates to its Gemini, what was a 1.0 and then 1.5 is now 2.0, and they're rolling it out today as a 'flash' version


So far, I can see how to switch it to the Flash Experimental version on web, but not seeing that in my app ... yet.

It's getting to be quite insane how much AI we're using now in our daily lives.  I tend to generate social media posts for organizations I work with, or Pixel Studio for an image; throw it into Canva with their AI.  

Let alone I threw a bunch of information at NotebookLM for me to easily summarize and then it generated a 20 minute podcast.  Wild!

Here's their quick information on 2.0

Today, Google is making AI more useful and accessible with new AI-powered updates. Leading this effort is Gemini 2.0, our latest, most capable AI model yet, designed for the agentic era. With new advances in multimodality, it will enable us to build new AI agents that can think several steps ahead, remember and take actions with users’ guidance. 

 

Building on the success of Gemini 1.0 -launched a year ago-, this new model pushes the envelope even further and brings enhanced performance, and new capabilities like native image and multilingual audio generation, and native intelligent tool use – directly accessing Google products like Search or even executing code. These capabilities make it possible to build agents that can think, remember, plan, and even take action on your behalf. 

 

Gemini 2.0 will power new AI experiences across Google products, making them more helpful and intuitive for everyone.
