In This Story On Wednesday, the tech giant announced that users of its Gemini app can now explore the 2. 0 Flash Thinking Experimental AI model, which is recognized as the leading model globally on the community-driven Chatbot Arena. The Gemini 2. 0 Flash Thinking Experimental model is designed to enhance its reasoning abilities by dissecting prompts step-by-step and revealing its “thought process” to users, allowing them to grasp how it formulated its responses. This method enables users to understand the model's assumptions and trace its reasoning path, according to Google (GOOGL-7. 66%). Additionally, the company unveiled a version of 2. 0 Flash Thinking that integrates with other Google applications like YouTube and Maps. Advanced subscribers to Gemini will have priority access to the suite of 2. 0 AI models, including an experimental iteration of Gemini 2. 0 Pro, which became available on Wednesday.

The Pro model is also accessible via AI Studio and Google’s Vertex AI platform. In December, the tech giant rolled out Gemini 2. 0, which Google CEO Sundar Pichai mentioned would allow the development of new AI agents towards their goal of creating a universal assistant. AI agents are designed to autonomously handle complex tasks for users. Initially, developers and testers were the first to access 2. 0, while all Gemini users were granted access to the Gemini 2. 0 Flash experimental model. The Flash model is an evolution of Gemini 1. 5 Flash, which Google released in July as its fastest and most cost-effective model. Google also introduced its new FlashLite model on Wednesday, which is an enhanced version of 1. 5 Flash, while maintaining a similar price point.
