**Mountain View, CA – [Date of Release]** – Google today announced significant advancements to its Gemini 2.0 family of AI models, expanding accessibility for developers and users alike. The updates include the general availability of Gemini 2.0 Flash via the Gemini API and its integration into Google AI Studio and Vertex AI, enabling developers to build production applications leveraging its speed and enhanced performance.

A new experimental model, Gemini 2.0 Pro, is also being introduced. Boasting the strongest coding performance and complex prompt handling capabilities yet, this model features a 2 million token context window and the ability to utilize tools like Google Search and code execution. It’s available in Google AI Studio, Vertex AI, and to Gemini Advanced app users.

Addressing cost-effectiveness, Google is releasing Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite, a model boasting better quality than its predecessor at the same speed and cost. Available in public preview on Google AI Studio and Vertex AI, it offers a 1 million token context window and multimodal input.

Furthermore, the previously experimental Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking is now available to all Gemini app users on desktop and mobile. All new models will initially feature multimodal input with text output, with additional modalities coming soon.

Google emphasizes its commitment to safety and security, highlighting the use of reinforcement learning techniques and automated red teaming to mitigate risks, including those posed by indirect prompt injection. Pricing details can be found on the Google for Developers blog. The expansion of the Gemini 2.0 family marks a significant step forward in Google’s AI development, offering developers and users increasingly powerful and accessible tools.
