Keeping up with advancements in artificial intelligence is practically a full-time job, and this week basically everyone was obsessed with learning all they could about DeepSeek, the open-source model from China. While that sent stock markets into a tizzy, it’s also exactly the sort of thing we’re only going to see more of, as accessing powerful AI tools only becomes easier and easier by the day. Today Google shares its own latest progress along that line, as Gemini’s Flash 2.0 model leaves its experimental phase.
We first got to give Gemini Flash 2.0 a spin last month, as Google introduced an early experimental version of Gemini Flash 2.0 as the first of its Gemini 2.0 models. Beyond just being faster than the 1.5 edition, Flash 2.0 promised greatly improved support for handling media input, letting you prime Gemini with pictures and video. Specifically, Google points out its prowess at helping with brainstorming, learning, and writing.
