Google is bringing its experimental “reasoning” artificial intelligence model capable of explaining how it answers complex questions to the Gemini app. The Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking update is part of a slew of Gemini 2.0 AI rollouts announced by Google today, including its latest Gemini 2.0 Pro flagship model.

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

Google just dropped 4 new Gemini 2.0-series models, with some designed for coding performance and complex prompts and the others for cost efficiency

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.

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.
