Google's Gemini AI app is getting faster with Flash 2.0 | The Verge
The improved model is rolling out to Gemini’s web and mobile apps. Google announced Thursday that the Gemini app is getting its Gemini 2.0 Flash AI model. The upgraded model “delivers fast responses and stronger performance across a number of key benchmarks, providing everyday help with tasks like brainstorming, learning, or writing,” the company said in a post.
The change is rolling out to Gemini’s web and mobile apps and will be available to all users. Google also says that you’ll still be able to use Gemini 1.5 Flash and 1.5 Pro for “the next few weeks.” The company first introduced Gemini 2.0 in December and promised that it was “working quickly” to get it in its products. 
At the time, it launched an experimental version of Gemini Flash 2.0 to Gemini users. On Thursday, Google also said that Gemini’s image generation capabilities now use the newest version of the company’s Imagen 3 AI text-to-image generator. According to Google, the model “delivers richer details and textures” and “follows your instructions with greater accuracy.”
