Google releases Gemini 2.0, creating a wave of competition with Chinese AI

Gemini 2.0 Pro

The Gemini 2.0 Pro beta is now available on Google AI Studio, Vertex AI, and the Gemini app for Gemini Advanced users. According to Google, it is “the best model for programming and complex commands.”

Gemini 2.0 Flash

The latest update to Gemini is now available via the Gemini API on Google AI Studio and Vertex AI, allowing developers to build apps using the new, lighter, more efficient platform. Google’s move comes as DeepSeek, an emerging AI player, is gaining traction and putting pressure on industry giants.

Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite

To compete with Chinese AI startup DeepSeek, Google has launched Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite as a cost-effective option, helping developers access cutting-edge AI technology without spending too much budget. Currently, this version is available on Google AI Studio and Vertex AI, providing many opportunities to develop AI-based applications. Meanwhile, DeepSeek's AI models are still being offered for free, creating fierce competition in the global AI market.

2.0 Pro and Flash Thinking Experimental

Gemini app users will have the opportunity to experience Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental, an advanced AI model that is receiving a lot of attention. With the ability to process information quickly, think logically, and give sharp answers, this model has risen to the top of the rankings on Chatbot Arena.

What makes this version unique is its ability to systematically analyze user requests step by step. Instead of just responding directly, the model breaks down complex questions into multiple parts, processing each aspect separately before synthesizing them into a comprehensive and coherent answer.

To meet the needs of users looking for a more powerful model, Google has made Gemini 2.0 Pro Experimental available to Gemini Advanced subscribers, through platforms like Google AI Studio and Vertex AI.

Flash Thinking seamlessly interacts with other Google applications, including Google Maps, YouTube, and Google Search, providing a seamless and optimized user experience. Thanks to this integration, users can easily access and receive instant feedback from multiple Google platforms, improving convenience and efficiency during use.

Late last month, the Samsung Galaxy S25 series became the first phones to integrate Google's Project Astra, a feature that lets users point at objects with their phone's camera, providing contextual data to artificial intelligence.

The company also introduced the Daily Listen feature, which creates audio summaries of news updates, personalized based on a user's Search and Explore activity.

For Google, it's a rapid series of moves as DeepSeek emerges as a strong competitor, with the ability to develop AI models that perform on par with Western products but at a fraction of the cost.
