Google is preparing to release new Gemini models on March 12, as indicated by code data and hints such as “New models available.” This aligns with the company’s previous releases, including the Gemini update on February 5. However, there have been delays in the past, such as in January when a planned release was postponed. Several models may be introduced in March, based on tags like “Thinking GA” and other recent findings.
The main candidates for the upcoming release include Flash 2.0 Thinking and Flash 2.0 Thinking with Apps. These models are labeled as “Thinking GA,” indicating their stability and readiness for use. The “Thinking with Apps” model integrates with Google services like Gmail, YouTube, and Maps, allowing it to select tools for specific tasks.
Google is also working on a personalization feature that can provide individual responses based on a user’s search history. This will allow for better consideration of users’ personal preferences and needs. Additionally, the company plans to launch screen sharing and real-time video analysis features through Gemini Live tools, expected in March as part of the Gemini Advanced subscription.
The Gemini initiative is part of Google’s strategy to compete with platforms like OpenAI ChatGPT. The company has focused on multimodal capabilities, integrating text, images, and apps, as well as improving reasoning processes.
