Gemini 2.0 is out, and there's a ton of interesting stuff about it. From my testing it looks like Gemini 2.0 Flash may be the best currently available multi-modal model - I upgraded my LLM plugin to support that here: github.com/simonw/llm-g... Gemini 2.0 announcement: blog.google/technology/g...

The most impressive thing is the streaming mechanism, where you can stream audio and video into Gemini and get text or audio streamed back aistudio.google.com/live only worked for me in Chrome: point your webcam at anything and have a live audio conversation about what the model can "see"

I was only able to test briefly but the speed was breathtaking. Almost supernatural sometimes.
