Google Unveils Gemini 2.0 Models

In a thrilling announcement made this past Thursday, Google has begun rolling out its latest Gemini models, including the highly anticipated 2.0 Flash Thinking (experimental) across web, Android, and iOS platforms.

Initially, users can access the new models through gemini.google.com, with mobile app availability following just days later. As of Saturday afternoon, users across multiple Gemini accounts have reported wider accessibility, signaling a successful rollout.

Gemini's free users now enjoy the benefits of 2.0 Flash Thinking (experimental). Notably, Google has also rebranded its high-end offer, now called 2.0 Pro (experimental), although no substantial changes have been announced for this version. Compared to its predecessor launched in early February, the new Flash Thinking model promises improved efficiency and speed, elevating user experience to new heights.

A standout feature of this upgrade is the integration of Gemini Apps, such as Gmail, YouTube, and more, as Google streamlines its offerings by eliminating the previous "with apps" model. Additionally, all users can now upload files, with Advanced subscribers enjoying an impressive 1 million token context window for expansive discussions.

Furthermore, Google is rolling out its Deep Research feature to all Gemini accounts, powered by the 2.0 Flash Thinking (experimental) model. Although Google has opted not to specify which model underpins this feature, a new "Deep Research" button has been introduced on the web interface, providing an alternative to the existing model picker. Keep in mind that free users will face limitations on research capabilities compared to Advanced users.

Adding to the excitement, a new Personalization (experimental) model is now available for users to test. Utilizing the 2.0 Flash Thinking (experimental) technology, this feature analyzes user prompts in conjunction with their search history to formulate more tailored responses. It's a fantastic tool for brainstorming personalized recommendations, with example queries like: - Where should I plan my summer vacation? - I'm considering starting a YouTube channel—any content suggestions? - What should I explore as a potential new hobby or career?

Looking ahead, Google aims to expand the sources it uses for personalization beyond just Search, incorporating platforms like YouTube and Photos. This initiative is a significant step toward creating a personal AI assistant capable of comprehensively understanding users and their needs.

In line with these advancements, Google has also rolled out a feature called Saved Info, enhancing user experience. Furthermore, the Advanced capability that enables Gemini to recall and reference previous chats when responding will soon be available in over 45 languages, expanding accessibility for a global audience!
