Google has introduced a new experimental AI model named Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental, designed for reasoning tasks. This model is part of Google’s AI Studio and aims to enhance multimodal understanding, reasoning, and coding capabilities. According to Logan Kilpatrick, the product lead for AI Studio, this model represents the initial phase of Google’s reasoning journey. Jeff Dean, chief scientist at Google DeepMind, noted that the model is trained to utilize thoughts to improve its reasoning abilities. While the model shows promise, it is still in early development and has demonstrated inconsistencies, such as miscounting letters in simple words. Reasoning models like Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental are designed to fact-check their responses, which can lead to longer response times. The release of this model follows a trend in the AI industry, where several companies are developing similar reasoning models to refine generative AI approaches. However, there are concerns regarding the high computational costs associated with these models and whether they can sustain their performance improvements over time.
