Google launches Gemini 2.0 AI for developers

Today, we’re making the updated Gemini 2.0 Flash generally available via the Gemini API in Google AI Studio and Vertex AI. Developers can now build production applications with 2.0 Flash.

We’re also releasing an experimental version of Gemini 2.0 Pro, our best model yet for coding performance and complex prompts. It is available in Google AI Studio and Vertex AI, and in the Gemini app for Gemini Advanced users.

We’re releasing a new model, Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite, our most cost-efficient model yet, in public preview in Google AI Studio and Vertex AI.

Finally, 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental will be available to Gemini app users in the model dropdown on desktop and mobile.

All of these models will feature multimodal input with text output on release, with more modalities ready for general availability in the coming months. More information, including specifics about



pricing, can be found in the Google for Developers blog. Looking ahead, we’re working on more updates and improved capabilities for the Gemini 2.0 family of models.

First introduced at I/O 2024, the Flash series of models is popular with developers as a powerful workhorse model, optimal for high-volume, high-frequency tasks at scale and highly capable of multimodal reasoning across vast amounts of information with a context window of 1 million tokens. We’ve been thrilled to see its reception by the developer community.

2.0 Flash is now generally available to more people across our AI products, alongside improved performance in key benchmarks, with image generation and text-to-speech coming soon.

Try Gemini 2.0 Flash in the Gemini app or the Gemini API in Google AI Studio and Vertex AI. Pricing details can be found in the Google for Developers blog.
