Google has announced the release of two new versions of its popular AI model Gemini The new versions promise a 50% price drop for developers, twice the output speed and three times lower latency than the previous generationGemini-15-Pro-002 and Gemini-15-Flash-002 will initially be available for developers, but will also be available for the Gemini app and website

Most noteworthy are the following

Most notably, the faster output makes these models ideal for demanding AI tasks such as code, text, and multimodal processing Performance has been enhanced in multiple benchmarks, showing a 20% improvement in math-related tasks and significant gains in visual comprehension and code generation

Taking developer feedback into account, Google has reduced output length by 5-20%, resulting in faster response without compromising quality For longer, more verbose responses, developers can apply specific prompting strategies

The previous version of Gemini Flash 15 outperformed Gemini Pro 15 in our tests

The new Gemini-15-Pro model is better suited for tasks such as summarizing information in large documents or understanding long videos For developers, access to these models via Google AI Studio and Vertex AI has been streamlined and rate limiting has been improved, making it easier to scale and build on Gemini's capabilities To give developers more of what they want, Google experimented with Gemini-15-Flash, resulting in even greater improvements across text and multimodal tasks It is clear that Google Inc is working to advance AI while keeping developers' needs in mind Along with these model upgrades, Google has updated its privacy filters to give developers more flexibility in how they configure their models while keeping their content secure

With these enhancements, Google has not only made the Gemini model more affordable, but also more powerful, responsive, and secure, solidifying its position as a competitive tool in the AI field These improvements continue to open up new possibilities for AI applications, and Google encourages developers to explore the potential of the model in a variety of use cases

In addition to the aforementioned updates, Google announced that Gemini Advanced users can expect to soon have access to a chat-optimized version of Gemini 15 Pro-002, an updated version of Gemini Pro 15, available to Gemini Advanced subscribers
