Google announced its Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental model on February 5, 2025, which is freely available in the Gemini application. This development represents a significant advancement in artificial intelligence, as the model can break down problems step by step, strengthening its reasoning abilities and suitability for solving complex tasks.
The company introduced the new model in two versions: alongside the basic Flash Thinking, an applications-integrated version was also released, which can work with services such as YouTube, Google Search, and Google Maps. Gemini Advanced subscribers also gain access to the Gemini 2.0 Pro Experimental version, which has been specifically optimized for complex tasks, coding, and solving mathematical problems. The new version significantly increases the efficiency of AI models while providing affordable solutions to a broader range of users.
The announcement is timely, as the Chinese DeepSeek AI startup presents a significant market challenge for American technology giants. The introduction of Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking shows that Google is actively responding to market competition while remaining at the forefront of innovation. The model features a 2-million token context window, allowing it to process approximately 1.5 million words in a single prompt.
