Google Rolls Out Gemini 2.0 AI Models
Google has officially launched its new AI models, including the highly anticipated Gemini 2.0 Pro Experimental and the reasoning model, Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking. These AI models are part of a larger release from the company, with Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking now available through the Gemini app for all users. The announcement follows an earlier accidental reveal of the Gemini 2.0 Pro model, which is now being rolled out on Google’s AI platforms, including Vertex AI and Google AI Studio. The new models aim to advance Google’s AI capabilities and provide more sophisticated tools for developers and users.
DeepSeek's AI Models Steal the Spotlight
Despite Google’s latest AI releases, Chinese AI startup DeepSeek continues to attract significant attention with its more affordable AI reasoning models. DeepSeek’s models are said to match or even surpass the performance of major American AI offerings, drawing in businesses and developers with their lower costs and high capabilities. DeepSeek’s R1 model, which was launched in December, has received more buzz than Google’s similar releases, pushing Google to increase visibility for its Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking model through its widely used Gemini app.
Gemini 2.0 Pro Sets New Standards in AI
Google’s Gemini 2.0 Pro is being hailed as the most advanced model in its AI family, building upon the previous Gemini 1.5 Pro. This new version excels at handling complex prompts and coding tasks, and it can process a staggering 1.5 million words at once. This means the model could analyze entire collections of text, such as all seven Harry Potter books, in a single prompt, and still have room left over. In addition to its advanced reasoning capabilities, Gemini 2.0 Pro can call tools like Google Search and execute code directly, offering users a powerful, versatile tool for their projects.
Google Introduces Budget-Friendly Flash-Lite Model
In a move to compete with the success of DeepSeek’s affordable AI models, Google is also releasing Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite. This model offers improved performance compared to its predecessor, the Gemini 1.5 Flash, but comes at the same cost and speed. With this release, Google aims to provide a more cost-efficient option for businesses and developers, while still delivering powerful AI performance. This could help Google attract users who are drawn to DeepSeek’s more budget-friendly AI offerings.
