Gemini 2.0 Flash
Workhorse model for all daily tasks with enhanced performance. 2.0 Flash is an upgrade path for 1.5 Flash users who want a slightly slower model with significantly better quality, or 1.5 Pro users who want slightly better quality and real-time latency for less.
Google Fast, large-context text generation for daily tasks
Gemini 2.0 Flash is a text generation model developed by Google, released as part of the Gemini 2.0 model family. It features a context window of 1,048,576 tokens and is designed to handle a broad range of everyday tasks with real-time response latency. The model's training data has a cutoff of June 2024.
Gemini 2.0 Flash is positioned as an upgrade for users of the 1.5 Flash model who want meaningfully improved output quality, and for users of the 1.5 Pro model who want comparable or slightly improved quality at lower latency and cost. It is well-suited for applications that require processing long documents, maintaining extended conversations, or running high-throughput workloads where response speed matters.
What Gemini 2.0 Flash supports
Large Context Window
Supports up to 1,048,576 tokens in a single context, enabling processing of long documents, codebases, or extended conversation histories in one request.
Real-Time Latency
Designed to return responses at real-time speeds, making it suitable for interactive applications and live user-facing workflows.
Text Generation
Generates coherent, contextually relevant text across tasks such as summarization, drafting, question answering, and instruction following.
Structured Output
Supports structured response formats, allowing developers to request JSON or other schema-conforming outputs for downstream processing.
Function Calling
Supports function calling, enabling the model to invoke developer-defined tools and integrate with external APIs or services within a workflow.
Multimodal Input
Accepts text, images, audio, and video as inputs, allowing mixed-media prompts to be processed within the same large context window.
