Google LLC today released a new artificial intelligence model, Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental, that’s optimized for reasoning tasks.
The company says the algorithm can tackle problems across fields such as programming, physics and math. It’s based on another Google model, Gemini 2.0 Flash, that debuted earlier this month. The latter algorithm is positioned as a midrange option that balances response speeds with output quality.
In a demo video, Google showed Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental tackling a logic puzzle that required it to analyze a photo of four billiard balls. It developed a correct answer after deducing that the photo needs to be flipped. The model developed the solution through a process in which it tried several different approaches…
