Gemini 2.0 is Google's most capable AI model yet and available to preview today

The battle for AI supremacy is heating up. Almost exactly a week after OpenAI made its o1 model available to the public, Google today is offering a preview of its next-generation Gemini 2.0 model. In a blog post attributed to Google CEO Sundar Pichai, the company says 2.0 is its most capable model yet, with the algorithm offering native support for image and audio output. "It will enable us to build new AI agents that bring us closer to our vision of a universal assistant," says Pichai. Google is doing something different with Gemini 2.0.
