Overview
Gemini 2.0 Flash was introduced in December 2024 as an experimental model and became generally available in February 2025. Built for the “agentic era”, it combined speed with multimodal input — text, images, audio and video — a one-million-token context window and native tool use such as Google Search and code execution.
Highlights
- 1-million-token context window
- Input across text, images, audio and video
- Native tool use, including search and code execution
- Low latency and price for its capabilities
- Free tier in the Gemini API for developers
Typical uses
High-volume multimodal applications, long-document and video analysis, agents and real-time assistants.
Things to consider
- Newer Gemini versions have succeeded it.
- Quality on very long inputs should be tested for your use case.
- Free-tier data may be used to improve Google products; paid tiers have different terms.
