Google has made its highly efficient workhorse model, Gemini 2.0 Flash, available to everyone. The update includes improved performance and low latency, making it ideal for developers who want to build production applications.
Gemini 2.0 Flash is a powerful tool that excels in high-volume, high-frequency tasks and can handle multimodal reasoning across vast amounts of information with a context window of 1 million tokens.
In addition to Gemini 2.0 Flash, Google has released an experimental version of Gemini 2.0 Pro, its best model yet for coding performance and complex prompts. This new model offers strong coding capabilities and a larger context window of 2 million tokens.
Google has also introduced a cost-efficient model, Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite, which outperforms previous models at the same speed and cost. This model is available in public preview in Google AI Studio and Vertex AI.
All of these models feature multimodal input with text output and will be updated to include more modalities in the coming months.
To ensure safe and secure use, Google has implemented reinforcement learning techniques that provide accurate feedback and improve the model’s ability to handle sensitive prompts. The company is also leveraging automated red teaming to assess safety and security risks.
Developers can try Gemini 2.0 Flash in the Gemini app or the Gemini API in Google AI Studio and Vertex AI. Pricing details are available on the Google for Developers blog.
