Google Unveils Experimental Reasoning AI Model - Google has launched the Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental AI, designed to improve reasoning and problem-solving in programming, math, and physics. Available on AI Studio, Gemini 2.0 aims to self-fact-check to reduce common AI errors, showing promising results with increased computation time. However, responses can be slow, and there's room for improvement, highlighted when it failed on a simple question.
Despite similarities with models like OpenAI's o1, Google joins other AI labs in exploring reasoning models amid skepticism about their cost and sustainability. The development reflects a broader trend of AI advancements, even as questions persist regarding their long-term effectiveness and economic viability.
