Google has recently released Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking, a new model with advanced reasoning capabilities and the ability to showcase its thoughts. According to Logan Kilpatrick, senior product manager at Google, this model can solve complex problems at lightning-fast speeds while displaying its internal planning process. The experimental model is currently available for developers to try out in Google AI Studio and the Gemini API.
This release has been seen as a direct response to OpenAI’s recent release of the o1 model, known for its impressive reasoning capabilities. Google’s Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking is set to compete with o1 and has already been ranked as the top model across all categories on Chatbot Arena.
Google’s chief Sundar Pichai and Noam Shazeer, VP engineering of Gemini co-lead at Google Deepmind, have both expressed excitement about the new model and its potential for improving reasoning and explainability in AI. This release comes at a time when OpenAI has been making waves with its 12 days of ‘Shipmas’ releases, including the full version of the o1 model.
Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking is the latest addition to Google’s Gemini series and supports multimodal inputs and outputs, as well as the ability to call tools like Google Search and code execution. With its impressive capabilities, it is set to compete with the most powerful AI models in the market.
Overall, this release from Google shows their commitment to advancing AI and staying at the forefront of the industry. With Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking, they have once again proven their expertise in developing cutting-edge AI models.
