Google opens up Gemini 1.5 Flash, Pro with 2M tokens to the public
Google is making its two recent Gemini model variations generally available after debuting them at Google I/O 2024. Its powerful small multimodal model and fastest Pro model with larger context window is now available.
During a press briefing, Google Cloud Chief Executive Thomas Kurian boasts the company sees “incredible momentum” with its generative AI efforts, with organizations such as Accenture, Airbus, Anthropic, Box, Broadcom, Cognizant, Confluent, Databricks, Deloitte, Equifax, Estée Lauder Companies, Ford, GitLab, GM, the Golden State Warriors, Goldman Sachs, Hugging Face, IHG Hotels and Resorts, Lufthansa Group, Moody’s, Samsung, and others building on its platform. Gemini 1.5 Flash offers developers lower latency, affordable pricing and a context window suitable for inclusion in retail chat agents, document processing, and bots that can synthesize entire repositories. Kurian explains the differences between Gemini 1.5 Flash and Pro: “It’s not just the kind of customers, but it’s the specific [use] cases within a customer.” He references Google’s I/O keynote as a practical and recent example.
