New Gemini models now available on mobile

Google has recently released new versions of its Gemini models, making them accessible to everyone through the Gemini app on both Android and iOS devices. The basic model, known as Gemini 2.0 Flash, is now the standard option for users. This model is designed for everyday tasks and offers reliable performance.

Now, users can try out the new Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental. This version gives you a sneak peek into how it processes your queries. It works by showing you its thought process, understanding what you’re asking, considering various viewpoints, brainstorming ideas, organizing the answer, adding details, and finally, making sure everything is clear and accurate.

For those using the mobile app, you’ll see a “Thoughts” section before the actual “Response” appears. Although the text streams quickly, it’s based on the fast performance of the 2.0 Flash model. Keep in mind, this experimental version doesn’t have access to live information or all the features available in the full Gemini suite.

Google has also introduced another version, Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental with apps, which connects across different Google services like YouTube, Maps, and Search, enhancing your ability to get comprehensive answers through multi-step reasoning.

These new models are free for everyone, and they’re rolling out widely today. If you’re an Advanced subscriber, you’ll have access to the Gemini 2.0 Pro Experimental, which is tailored for more complex tasks and coding. This model boasts improved understanding and reasoning capabilities, although it also doesn’t include real-time data.

Here’s a quick rundown of the current Gemini lineup:

• 2.0 Flash: Ideal for daily tasks.
• 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental: Great for detailed reasoning.
• 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental with apps: Connects across Google services for better insights.
