The flood of AI news from Google comes in the wake of the launch of DeepSeek, the breakthrough Chinese AI tool that's been making headlines.

Announced in December, 2.0 Flash Thinking rivals OpenAI's o1 and o3-mini reasoning models in that it's capable of working through more complex problems and showing how it reasons through them. Previously, it debuted in AI Studio but now has broad availability in experimental mode as a dropdown option in the Gemini app.

Google has launched several new AI models, including Gemini 2.0 Pro Experimental, and brought a 'reasoning' model to its Gemini app.

The latest Gemini 2.0 Flash model can interact with other Google apps and comes with reasoning chops, while the Gemini 2.0 Pro model excels at math and coding.

Google has now given its Gemini app access to a new AI model called Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental. According to the announcement blog post, the company says this model is currently “ranked as the world’s best model” and is available at no cost.
