Google has updated the Gemini 1.5 Pro model by expanding the context window to 2 million tokens, allowing for better handling of large amounts of data and improved responsiveness to commands, especially formatting output commands or AI behavior. Additionally, Google has introduced the Gemini 1.5 Flash at a more affordable price while maintaining performance similar to the Gemini 1.5 Pro, utilizing distillation techniques to extract capabilities from larger models and supporting a context window of 1 million tokens equivalent to the larger version. Both the Gemini 1.5 Pro and 1.5 Flash are available for use on Google AI Studio and Vertex AI, but the 2 million token version is limited to closed testing.
TLDR: Google updates Gemini 1.5 Pro with a 2 million token context window for better data handling and command responsiveness, and introduces the more affordable Gemini 1.5 Flash with similar performance. Both models are usable on Google AI Studio and Vertex AI, with the 2 million token version currently in closed testing.
