Google has announced that Gemini 2.0 is now available for everything following its experimental version that launched in December.
Along with releasing an updated version of Gemini 2.0 Flash via the Gemini API in Google AI Studio and Vertex AI for developers to build production applications, Google is also releasing an experimental version of Gemini 2.0 Pro for anyone to access in the Gemini app and for Gemini Advanced users. It is designed for coding, able to handle complex prompts and with a better understanding and reasoning of world knowledge.
There’s also a new version called Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite that Google says is a cost-efficient option: it’s now in public preview in Google AI Studio and Vertex AI. 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental will also be available in the Gemini app, accessible in the model dropdown on desktop and mobile.
All these models will feature multimodal input with text output on release. There will be more modalities ready for general availability in the coming months. With 2.0 Flash, image generation and text-to-speech is coming soon.
More information, including specifics about pricing, can be found in the Google for Developers blog.
Google says it is also leveraging automated red teaming to “assess safety and security risks, including those posed by risks from indirect prompt injection, a type of cybersecurity attack which involves attackers hiding malicious instructions in data that is likely to be retrieved by an AI system.”
