Google Gemini is now powered by 1.5 Flash, will soon support file uploads

A few months ago at the Google I/O 2024, the tech giant unveiled Gemini 1.5 Flash, the newest member in the Gemini family of large language models that excels at “summarisation, chat applications, image and video captioning, extracting data from long documents and tables and more.”

Google also claims that Gemini 1.5 Flash is its “fastest and most versatile multimodal AI model” with multimodal capabilities like GPT-4o mini. In the Gemini app and the web version of the AI-powered chatbot, the update changelog says that compared to the previous version, Gemini 1.5 Flash has a four times longer context window and brings improvements to “quality and accuracy.”
