About Gemini 2.0 Flash

Gemini 2.0 Flash was positioned as Google's fast, cost-efficient model within the Gemini 2 generation, aimed at high-throughput and latency-sensitive applications where a lighter, cheaper model than Gemini's flagship Pro tier was preferred.

It was accessible through the Gemini API, Google AI Studio and Vertex AI, and was used broadly in production applications valuing speed and cost efficiency over maximum capability.
