Google has released Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking, a new AI model that can process up to one million tokens of text while showing its reasoning process. According to Michael Nuñez at VentureBeat, the model is available for free through Google AI Studio under the experimental designation “Exp-01-21.” The system achieved a 73.3% score on the American Invitational Mathematics Examination and 74.2% on the GPQA Diamond science benchmark. Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis highlighted that the model builds on the company’s decade-long experience with planning systems. The release offers a free alternative to OpenAI’s premium services, though with usage limits during beta testing. Notable features include native code execution capabilities and improved contradiction safeguards, making it suitable for both research and commercial applications.
