Google releases Gemini 2.0 Flash for AI Studio and Vertex AI
Gemini 2.0 Flash is the base model that powers the free version of Gemini. It replaces Gemini 1.5 Flash which was released last year. That model came about halfway through 2024, so it’s a bit surprising that Google is releasing its successor so early in 2025. It makes us wonder if the company is going to launch version 2.5 later in the year.
