Google’s Gemini rolls out ‘world’s best’ AI model, free of charge

Google has now given its Gemini app access to a new AI model called Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental.

According to the announcement blog post, the company says this model is currently “ranked as the world’s best model” and is available at no cost. The model is designed to answer complex questions by breaking them down into smaller steps and explaining its assumptions and reasoning, which should lead to more accurate and reliable answers.

At the same time, Google is also releasing a version of 2.0 Flash Thinking that can interact with other Google apps, such as YouTube, Search, and Maps. The goal is for Gemini to further incorporate these apps to bolster its reasoning capabilities to help you do more.

Furthermore, Google is rolling out an experimental version of 2.0 Pro to Gemini Advanced subscribers. Gemini 2.0 Pro Experimental is designed for complex tasks and is intended to be more factually accurate and perform better when it comes to coding and math.

Both 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental and 2.0 Pro Experimental models will be released for Gemini on both the web and mobile app.
