Gemini Flash Thinking is a new 'reasoning' model from Google that takes more time over a response.

 



 Google has officially released its first reasoning model. Complex coding, math, and reasoning difficulties can be resolved via the "Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking" methodology.

In summary,
Multimodal inputs including pictures, movies, and audio files are supported.
Before producing the final response, it reassesses its response, consuming additional time and computational resources.


 
Google has now made its own version of the thinking model available, after the publication of OpenAI's o1 reasoning model, which requires some time to "think" before reacting. "Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking," also known as gemini-2.0-flash-thinking-exp-1219, is the new AI model. AI Studio already has this experimental preview model available for testing and

The new test-time computing paradigm that OpenAI unveiled in September is adhered to by the Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking model. In essence, it gives the model extra time and computational resources to reconsider its response before producing the final result.

According to preliminary research, AI models outperform those trained on big parameters when given more time to "think" during inference.

The smaller Gemini 2.0 Flash model was Google's first thinking model to be published, but it's anticipated that inference scaling will also be available for the bigger Gemini 2.0 Pro model (Gemini-Exp-1206).


 Gemini 2.0, according to Google Complex reasoning queries as well as challenging arithmetic and coding issues can be resolved using Flash Thinking. Additionally, in contrast to OpenAI o1, it displays the model's unfiltered thought process, which is excellent for transparency.

Additionally, multimodal inputs including pictures, videos, and audio files may be processed by the new Thinking model. Lastly, August 2024 is the knowledge cutoff date.

I used AI Studio to do a quick test of the Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking model. On the second attempt, it correctly answered the well-known Strawberry question, stating that the word "Strawberry" has three r's. I then requested that it locate Indian states without the letter "a" in their names. Once more, the response was incorrect.
