What's the story

Google has announced the latest version of its Gemini app, powered by the Gemini 2.0 Flash AI model. The new and improved version promises faster responses and better performance on a number of key benchmarks. The update is aimed at helping users with daily tasks like brainstorming, learning, and writing, the company said in a post on Thursday.

User access

Upgrade rollout and compatibility

The Flash 2.0 upgrade is being rolled out on both web and mobile versions of the Gemini app, making it accessible for everyone. Google has also confirmed that the previous versions, Gemini 1.5 Flash and 1.5 Pro, will continue to work for "the next few weeks." This way, users can transition smoothly to the new model without any disruption in their usage experience.

Development timeline

Initial introduction and experimental launch

Google first unveiled Gemini 2.0 in December, promising to integrate it into its products quickly. An experimental version of Gemini Flash 2.0 was released for Gemini users around this time. The early release enabled the company to collect user feedback and make necessary tweaks before the official rollout of the upgrade, ensuring the best performance and user satisfaction.

AI integration

Gemini's enhanced image generation capabilities

Along with the Flash 2.0 upgrade, Google has also enhanced Gemini's image generation capabilities. The app now integrates the latest version of Google's Imagen 3 AI text-to-image generator. As the tech giant says, the new model "delivers richer details and textures" and "follows your instructions with greater accuracy," further enhancing the user experience on the platform.
