Google has announced that its Gemini app is now utilizing the Gemini 2.0 Flash AI model, promising faster responses and improved performance for various tasks such as brainstorming, learning, and writing. The rollout is taking place on both web and mobile platforms, and all users will have access to the updated model.
Google’s Gemini app launches 2.0 Flash AI model
The company introduced Gemini 2.0 in December, indicating it was working quickly to implement this model into its products. An experimental version was made available to users previously, and now Gemini 2.0 Flash is set as the default for the app.
In addition to the performance upgrades, Google has enhanced Gemini’s image generation capabilities through the latest version of the Imagen 3 AI text-to-image generator. This new model is designed to deliver richer details and textures while following user instructions with greater accuracy.

Gemini Advanced users gain additional features
Gemini Advanced users will continue to benefit from a 1M token context window for file uploads up to 1,500 pages, along with priority access to features like Deep Research and Gems. Gemini 1.5 Flash and 1.5 Pro models will still be available for users for the next few weeks for ongoing conversations.
In a related update, users reported that references to the Gemini 2.0 Pro Experimental model were removed from changelogs. A Google spokesperson clarified that an outdated note was published in error. The Gemini 2.0 Pro Experimental model, which is available to Gemini Advanced users, is positioned as Google’s leading AI model, reportedly offering better factuality and performance in coding and mathematics tasks.
This experimental model aims to assist users with complex tasks, including generating specific programming codes and solving advanced mathematical problems. However, Google has noted that it is in an early preview stage and may exhibit unexpected behaviors. It will not have access to real-time information and lacks compatibility with certain features in the app.
