Google releases Gemini 2.0, opens up its most powerful AI model ever to everyone, ramps up agents

On Wednesday, Google announced that its latest AI modeling suite, Gemini 2.0, is officially available to all users, including the 2.0 Flash, Pro Experimental and Flash-Lite models. According to Google, this is the company's "most powerful" AI model suite to date. Previously, in December of last year, Google opened up only some of the functionality to developers and trusted testers, and integrated some features into Google's core products. Now that it's fully open, all the new models are available to developers through Google AI Studio and the Gemini API. the full release of Gemini 2.0 is the latest step in Google's push to develop "AI Agents," which are like super-smart "task managers" that don't require users to step through tasks. The AI agent is like a super intelligent "task manager" that can automatically handle complex multi-step tasks without the user's step-by-step operation prompts, which can significantly improve work efficiency and bid farewell to repetitive mechanical labor.
