Gemini 2.0 Flash Released
- Google announced Gemini 2.0 on 11 December 2024 as "our new AI model for the agentic era", releasing the first model of the family, an experimental Gemini 2.0 Flash, to developers, trusted testers and Gemini users[1]
- 2.0 Flash outperforms 1.5 Pro on key benchmarks at twice the speed, and Google said TPUs, including sixth-generation Trillium, powered all of its training and inference[1]
- It arrived with research prototypes for agents - Project Astra, Project Mariner and Jules - and a new Multimodal Live API for real-time audio and video streaming[1][2]
- On 5 February 2025 Google made 2.0 Flash generally available and added 2.0 Flash-Lite and an experimental 2.0 Pro[3]
Notable features
- Native multimodal output: generated images mixed with text and steerable text-to-speech audio, on top of multimodal input[1]
- Native tool use, including Google Search, plus improved planning and compositional function calling for agents[1]
- Multimodal Live API for real-time audio and video-streaming input with multiple combined tools[1]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
