Google has introduced Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking, a new experimental AI model designed to “unlock deeper reasoning capabilities and articulate its thoughts.”

The neural network is described as “best suited for multimodal understanding, reasoning, and programming, capable of tackling the most complex problems.” It is available through Google AI Studio and the Gemini API.

Jeff Dean, Chief Scientist at Google DeepMind, cited the example of solving a physics problem and highlighted that Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking is “trained to use its thoughts to reinforce its reasoning.”

“We see promising results when we increase computation time during inference mode,” he noted.

The new model is built upon the recently introduced Gemini 2.0 Flash. The neural network resembles OpenAI’s o1 and other so-called reasoning models, which spend more time refining their responses and verifying information.

Earlier, Chinese company Alibaba unveiled its “thinking-focused” AI model QwQ-32B-Preview.

Notably, in December, OpenAI released the full version of o1 along with a professional mode for the model.
