n today's Google news, the giant has recently announced the release of a new reasoning model powered by artificial intelligence, which is still in
the initial experimental phase.
Called Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental, created as an improved version of the already existing Google Gemini, is currently available in the AI studio, the AI prototyping platform from Google. The model card describes this Google's new AI reasoning model as “best for multimodal understanding, reasoning, and coding,”. It also has powerful abilities for more complex models such as math, physics and even programming.
According to Logan Kilpatrick in his post on X ( formerly Twitter), the product lead for AI studio, stated that Gemini AI 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental represents now a significant step for Google in its reasoning AI journey.
“[Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental] is trained to use thoughts to strengthen its reasoning.”, the chief scientist for Google DeepMind, Jedd Dean stated in its own X post.
“We see promising results when we increase inference time computation,”, he also stated.

This new Google Gemini AI experimental model is built based on the Gemini 2.0 Flash model, which the giant recently announced, and from the first impressions, many tech experts believe that it has very similar functionalities to the OpenAI o1 reasoning model.
Compared with the traditional artificial intelligence-powered models, the reasoning AI models are able to fact-check themselves in order to avoid mistakes and obstacles in answers. However, the downside for some users is that the reasoning AI models usually tend to give their answers slowly, seconds to minutes longer than a traditional AI-powered tool.
Following the release of the popular OpenAI o1 model, the AI industry has faced a wave of new releases from various companies, including Google. So, others such as DeepSeek, which represents a research firm based on Artificial Intelligence, launched for now just a preview of a new reasoning model called DeepSeek-R1.
It remains to be seen when Google will release officially this Google new AI Gemini 2.0 Flash Experimental. Stay tuned for more Google news!
