AI summary

Written by AI from the official notes. Check them for exact details.

Google has released two new experimental models, 2.0 Flash Thinking and 2.0 Pro, for Gemini app users.

Why it matters: Users of the Gemini app, especially those tackling complex tasks, should explore these new models for improved assistance.

What: Starting today, Gemini app users have access to our 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental model. Built on the speed and performance of 2.0 Flash, this model is trained to break down prompts into a series of steps to strengthen its reasoning capabilities and deliver better responses. 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental shows its thought process to users so you can see why it responded in a certain way, what its assumptions were, and trace the model's line of reasoning. Users can also try 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental with apps, our thinking model designed to give you access to agentic capabilities through the use of connected apps such as YouTube, Maps, and Search for complex multi-step questions. These connected apps already make the Gemini app a uniquely helpful AI-powered assistant, and we’re exploring how new reasoning capabilities can combine with your apps to help you do even more. Both 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental models are now rolling out to the Gemini web and mobile app. We’ll expand access to enterprise accounts in the coming weeks These experimental models are meant to be an early preview and may make mistakes. Additionally these models won't be compatible with some Gemini features in their experimental state.
Why: We believe in rapid iteration and bringing the best of Gemini to the world. Your feedback helps us improve these models over time and learning from experimental launches informs how we release models more widely.

What: Gemini Advanced users can now try 2.0 Pro Experimental, our leading model designed to be exceptional at complex tasks, providing better factuality and stronger performance for coding and math prompts. Whether you’re tackling advanced coding challenges, like generating a specific program from scratch, or solving mathematical problems, like developing complex statistical models or quantum algorithms, 2.0 Pro Experimental will help you navigate even the most complex tasks with greater ease and accuracy. 2.0 Pro Experimental is now rolling out to the Gemini web and mobile app. We’ll expand access to enterprise accounts in the coming weeks This experimental model is meant to be an early preview and can have unexpected behaviors and may make mistakes. Additionally this model will not have access to real-time information and won't be compatible with some Gemini features in its experimental state.
Why: We believe in rapid iteration and bringing the best of Gemini to the world, and we want to give Gemini Advanced subscribers priority access to our latest AI innovations. Your feedback helps us improve these models over time and learning from experimental launches informs how we release models more widely.
