Google Gemini 2.0 is now free for users — here’s how to access it now

Google DeepMind today announced significant updates to its Gemini 2.0 AI model lineup, introducing new versions that offer enhanced performance as well as models that are accessible to users at no cost.

These developments aim to make Google AI models more widely available in the wake of competitors like OpenAI and DeepSeek offering similar models for free.

Meet Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite

Addressing the need for affordable AI, Google has introduced Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite. This model offers better quality than its predecessor, 1.5 Flash, while maintaining the same speed and cost-efficiency. It supports a 1 million token context window and multimodal input, making it suitable for high-volume, high-frequency tasks.

For instance, it can generate relevant one-line captions for approximately 40,000 unique photos at a cost of less than a dollar in Google AI Studio’s paid tier. Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite is currently available in public preview in Google AI Studio and Vertex AI.

Gemini 2.0 Flash is now generally available

The Gemini 2.0 Flash model is also now generally available through the Gemini API in Google AI Studio and Vertex AI. This model supports multimodal input with text output and features a context window of 1 million tokens, enabling efficient processing of extensive information.
