Gemini 2.0 Flash (general availability)

2025-02-05 · Publisher : Google · Domain : Artificial Intelligence

Google makes Gemini 2.0 Flash generally available in the Gemini API, Google AI Studio and Vertex AI, with higher rate limits and simplified pricing.

What changes

  • Move from experimental to general availability: the model can power production applications.
  • 1 million token context, multimodal input, text output at launch (image and audio output announced for the following months).
  • Native tool use (search, code execution).
  • Simplified pricing: a single price per input type, with no distinction between short and long contexts as on Gemini 1.5 Flash.

### Specifications - Context window: 1,048,576 input tokens, 8,192 output tokens (API documentation). - Input modalities: audio, images, video, text. - Knowledge cutoff: August 2024 (API documentation). - Availability: Gemini API (AI Studio), Vertex AI, Gemini app. - API identifier: `gemini-2.0-flash` (version `gemini-2.0-flash-001`). ### Pricing | Model | Input (USD / 1M tokens) | Output (USD / 1M tokens) | |---|---|---| | Gemini 2.0 Flash | 0.10 (AI Studio, text/image/video, confirmed on February 25) | 0.40 (not rechecked against an official source) | The February 25, 2025 post confirms input at 0.10 USD per million tokens, 33% less than the previous price list. ### Benchmarks The post presents a comparison table with Gemini 1.5 as an image, with no usable figures in the text. No scores are reproduced here. ### Key takeaways The “workhorse” of the 2.0 generation becomes usable in production with a lower cost per token, which makes it the basis of the first agent deployments on the Gemini API.
