Google released newer versions of the Gemini 1.5 Pro artificial intelligence (AI) model on Tuesday. These arrive just months after the Mountain View-based tech giant released the last version of Gemini, which increased the context window to up to 2 million tokens. Dubbed Gemini-1.5-Pro-002 and Gemini-1.5-Flash-002, the company said these AI models not only offer higher output and lower costs but will also provide a higher rate limit to users. Additionally, the filter settings have also been updated to make the AI models adhere to instructions more closely.

The company detailed the Gemini-1.5-Pro-002 and the Gemini-1.5-Flash-002 AI models. These models are currently available as experimental model releases and are built on top of Gemini 1.5 Pro which was first released at Google I/O in May. Currently, these are available to developers and enterprise customers of the company. Developers can access it for free from Google AI Studio and the Gemini API. Enterprises can access it via Vertex AI.

The latest Gemini 1.5 Pro and Flash models also outperformed the previous generation’s Gemini model, as per internal testing conducted by Google. The company claimed that the new models noted a seven percent increase in the Massive Multitask Language Understanding Pro (MMLU-Pro) benchmark. Further, the AI models are said to offer roughly 20 percent improvement on MATH and HiddenMath benchmarks compared to Gemini 1.5 Pro.

Gemini 1.5 Flash artificial intelligence model will now power the Gemini chatbot, Google announced on Thursday. With this update, the free tier of the AI chatbot on the web and the app will now be powered by the new model. Earlier, the chatbot was powered by the Gemini 1.0 Pro large language model (LLM). The tech giant claims that the new model is faster and more efficient compared to its predecessor. Notably, the update arrived just days after Meta added new capabilities to Meta AI.

The tech giant announced the rollout of the new AI model in Gemini’s release notes. As per the post, the Gemini 1.5 Flash increases the context window of the chatbot from the previous 8,000 tokens to 32,000 tokens. With the upgraded context window, Gemini should be able to handle more complex queries and add more context to its generated responses.

First announced by the company during its Google I/O event in May, the Google 1.5 Flash is a lightweight model which was distilled from the Gemini 1.5 Pro. At the time, the company highlighted that the Flash model prioritizes speed and reduces the input and output processing costs.

Google added its native artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot to the Android operating system as an on-device voice assistant earlier this year. This feature gave users the option to replace Google Assistant with Gemini as the default assistant for the smartphone. However, there were certain drawbacks to using the AI chatbot as it cannot set alarms, add reminders or launch apps like its counterpart. A new report has now found that the tech giant might soon add the capability for it to play music with a simple voice command.

The new feature was spotted within the settings options of the Gemini app for Android by a PiunikaWeb report (via AssembleDebug). Based on screenshots shared, a new option was seen within Gemini Settings. The second option from the bottom now has a Music option which features the description “Select preferred services to play music”. Another screenshot shows that within the option, another title says, “Choose your default media provider”.
