Google Gemini 2.0 announced with multimodal image and audio output, agentic AI features | Infinium-tech

Google unveiled Gemini 2.0, the latest generation of its AI models, which now support image and audio output and tool integration for the “agent era.” Agentic AI models represent AI systems that can independently complete tasks with adaptive decision making. Think about automating tasks like making a purchase or scheduling an appointment with a single gesture.

Gemini 2.0 will have multiple agents that can help you in all kinds of areas, from giving real-time tips on games like Clash of Clans to choosing a gift and adding it to your shopping cart based on a prompt.

Like other AI agents, Gemini 2.0 also has goal-oriented behavior. They can create task-based lists of steps and complete them autonomously. Agents in Gemini 2.0 include Project Astra, designed as a universal AI assistant for Android phones and with multimodal support and integration of Google Search, Lens, and Maps.

Project Mariner is another experimental AI agent that can navigate itself within a web browser. Mariner is now available in early preview form for “trusted testers” as a Chrome extension.

Gemini 2.0 flashes the first version of Google’s new AI model, in addition to AI agents. It is currently an experimental (beta) version with lower latency, better benchmark performance, and better logic and understanding in math and coding compared to the Gemini 1.0 and 1.5 models. It can also generate images natively powered by Google DeepMind’s Imagen 3 text-to-image model.

Gemini 2.0 Flash is experimental available on the web For all users and coming soon to mobile Gemini app. Users who want to test it need to select Gemini 2.0 Flash Experimental from the dropdown menu

Developers can also access the new models through Google AI Studio and Vertex AI. Google also confirmed that it will announce more Gemini 2.0 model sizes in January.
