Gemini 1.5 Pro updates, 1.5 Flash debut and 2 new Gemma models

Grab an API key in Google AI Studio, and get started with the Gemini API Cookbook.

Last December, we released Gemini 1.0 and made the Gemini API available in Google AI Studio and Vertex AI for enterprise customers. In February, we released Gemini 1.5 Pro, the first model with a 1 million token context window. Last month, we added capabilities for native audio understanding, system instructions, JSON mode and more.

In parallel, we launched Gemma, our family of lightweight open models built from the same research and technology used to create the Gemini models. Since February, the 2B and 7B models have been downloaded millions of times, and we added variants last month for developers and researchers, like CodeGemma and RecurrentGemma.

Now Gemini and Gemma are getting even better. Today, we’re updating Gemini 1.5 Pro, introducing 1.5 Flash, rolling out new developer features and adding two new Gemma models.

Here are details on all the updates.
