Google is doubling down on AI innovation with a series of major updates to its Gemini models, including the debut of Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking.
This advanced reasoning AI, now integrated into the Gemini app, enhances problem-solving by breaking down complex queries into logical steps. Alongside it, Google is introducing a more interactive version designed to engage with services like YouTube, Search, and Maps.
The company is also ramping up its AI investments, planning to spend $75 billion on infrastructure and development this year—more than doubling its 2023 expenditure.
With competition from OpenAI, Microsoft, and Meta intensifying, Google aims to strengthen its AI portfolio with Gemini 2.0 Pro, which promises improved factual accuracy and stronger performance in coding and mathematics.
Developers can now access Gemini 2.0 Flash, a high-efficiency AI model available in AI Studio and Vertex AI. Additionally, Google is launching Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite, a cost-effective alternative that matches its predecessor in speed while outperforming it on key benchmarks.
These updates mark a strategic push to refine AI reasoning, efficiency, and accessibility as Google races to lead in the AI space.
