This model improves performance and can handle different types of inputs and outputs.
The announcement states:
“In addition to supporting multimodal inputs like images, video and audio, 2.0 Flash now supports multimodal output like natively generated images mixed with text and steerable text-to-speech (TTS) multilingual audio.”
Additionally, Gemini 2.0 Flash can use tools like Google Search and run code to access user-defined functions from other sources.
New Possibilities For Search
Google is developing new features for Search, including Project Mariner, which aims to improve user interaction with agents in web browsers.
The company describes it as:
“… an early research prototype built with Gemini 2.0 that explores the future of human-agent interaction, starting with your browser.”
Looking Ahead
Integrating Gemini 2.0 into Google Search could be a key step in improving users’ experience with AI overviews.
The success of these updates will depend on how well Google implements them while maintaining safety and responsibility.
As the updates roll out, we will see how users respond and whether these changes enhance the search experience.
