1.5 Flash excels at summarization, chat applications, image and video captioning, data extraction from lengthy documents and tables, and more. This capability stems from its training by 1.5 Pro through a process known as “distillation,” where essential knowledge and skills from a larger model are efficiently transferred to a more compact version. For further details on 1.5 Flash, refer to our updated Gemini 1.5 technical report and the Gemini technology page for information on its availability and pricing.

Significantly improving 1.5 Pro

Over the last few months, we’ve made significant advancements to 1.5 Pro, our leading model for general performance across a variety of tasks. In addition to extending its context window to 2 million tokens, enhancements have been made in code generation, logical reasoning and planning, multi-turn conversation, and audio and image understanding through data and algorithmic advancements. We observe strong improvements on both public and internal benchmarks for each of these tasks.

1.5 Pro can now follow increasingly complex and nuanced instructions, including specifications involving role, format, and style. We’ve enhanced control over the model’s responses for specific use cases, such as developing the persona and response style of a chat agent or automating workflows through multiple function calls. Users can also steer the model's behavior by setting system instructions.

Additionally, we’ve integrated audio understanding into the Gemini API and Google AI Studio, enabling 1.5 Pro to reason across images and audio for videos uploaded in Google AI Studio. 1.5 Pro will also be integrated into Google products, including Gemini Advanced and Workspace applications. For more information about 1.5 Pro, please refer to our updated Gemini 1.5 technical report and the Gemini technology page.

Gemini Nano understands multimodal inputs

Gemini Nano is expanding beyond text-only inputs to embrace images as well. Starting with Pixel, applications utilizing Gemini Nano with multimodal capabilities will be able to perceive the world in a more human-like manner—not solely through text but also through sight, sound, and spoken language.
