Google has introduced a new artificial intelligence (AI) model called Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking, which can explain how it answers complex questions. The update is part of a series of Gemini 2.0 AI rollouts announced by the company today.
The Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking model will be available in the desktop and mobile app’s model dropdown options starting today. Another version of the model, designed to “interact with apps like YouTube, Search, and Google Maps,” is also being launched.
In addition to Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking, Google has released an experimental version of Gemini 2.0 Pro, which promises “better factuality” and “stronger performance” for coding and mathematics-related tasks.
Google has also introduced a new low-cost model called Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite, which offers comparable speed to its predecessor while being more affordable.
These updates come as Google invests $75 billion in AI-related expenditures this year, aiming to stay competitive with other major players like OpenAI, Microsoft, and Amazon-backed Anthropic.
