NotebookLM gets Gemini 2.5 Flash as it prepares to launch as a Standalone App
The research tool, NotebookLM, is quickly advancing with the latest improvements. NotebookLM's chatbot and research functions are now powered by Gemini 2.5 Flash, a cutting-edge thinking model with advanced reasoning techniques announced by Google. The upgrade is set to enhance NotebookLM's chatbot and Q&A modes, while leaving the Audio Overviews unaffected.
According to the official NotebookLM account on X (formerly Twitter), the latest Gemini 2.5 Flash integration signifies a significant step towards offering more comprehensive answers, particularly for complex, multi-step reasoning questions. This enhancement follows Google's recent announcement that NotebookLM's Audio Overviews are now accessible in over 50 languages, along with the addition of an Output Language setting for improved multilingual research and studying.
Google I/O 2025 and the Launch of NotebookLM
Google has ambitious plans for NotebookLM at Google I/O 2025, scheduled later this month in Mountain View, California. NotebookLM is slated to be unveiled as a standalone app, and interested users can pre-register for it on the App Store and Google Play Store.
The app's description highlights the utility of NotebookLM in simplifying complexity, catering to a wide range of users including students, creators, researchers, professionals, and CEOs. With the launch of Gemini 2.5 Flash, users can expect more efficient and effective learning and problem-solving experiences.
The NotebookLM app will have its official debut at Google I/O 2025, marking a significant milestone since its initial introduction as Project Tailwind. Users can currently leverage NotebookLM in conjunction with Gemini 2.5 Flash to explore its latest AI capabilities.
