Google introduces Gemini 1.5 Flash, and it's 4 times faster than Gemini 1.0

Google’s Gemini has introduced significant changes for its users worldwide, including the addition of the Gemini 1.5 Flash model. This improvement is not a small change; it’s a significant transformation from the prior Gemini 1.0 Pro model.

It is quicker and works more efficiently than the older model: the Gemini 1.5 Flash model has a 32k-long context window, four times the size of what the 1.0 Pro could handle. With this newer version, you can input more data in one go.

Google is also making a big commitment: This new model will provide “improved overall response quality and accuracy.” For people who really enjoy exploring, Gemini 1.5 Flash from Google will be like finding gold at the end of a rainbow.

Gemini is a champion at summarization and can handle long documents and tables with the help of distillation. Moreover, Google has taken a cue from Microsoft’s Copilot by giving direct links to supporting content within Gemini’s responses.

Gemini is also reaching Google Messages in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland. If your Google Account is under Family Link management or a Google Workspace account, you should know that Gemini in Google Messages will not be accessible for these accounts.

You need to open the Google Messages application on your Android smartphone and select chat with Gemini by tapping it or start a fresh chat with Gemini. That’s it – you are inside.
