Google recently released its new and advanced suite of AI models, Gemini 2.0, as part of its broader strategy this year.
Release of the new Gemini 2.0 suite
Late last year, Google granted access to developers and some trusted testers while it also wrapped some features into its products. However, the current event serves as a 'general release.' This suite includes models like 2.0 Flash, 2.0 Pro Experimental for complex prompts, and 2.0 Flash Lite. Google DeepMind CTO Koray Kavukcuoglu stated: 'Today we’re making the updated Gemini 2.0 Flash generally available via the Gemini API in Google AI Studio and Vertex AI. Developers can now build production applications with 2.0 Flash.'
Competition among tech giants
Google is not the only tech giant working on advancing AI agents. Companies like Amazon, Anthropic, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI have also declared their intentions to develop agentic AI. This is part of their efforts to maintain competitiveness in this rapidly evolving industry.
The Future of AI and Google's Role
Google has been actively developing agents capable of handling complex tasks on behalf of the user. The past year was dedicated to creating more autonomous models that can understand their environment, think several steps ahead, and act under user supervision. The vector of AI development is moving towards creating a universal assistant capable of performing various tasks.
The updates and creation of complex algorithms are intended to strengthen Google's position in the AI market. Modern achievements, like the release of Gemini 2.0, underline the company's ability to control the future of intelligent computing.
