Google has announced that Gemini 1.5 Flash, introduced last May, is now available for free to users.
Google made Google Gemini publicly available in December 2023, in contrast to OpenAI’s ChatGPT. At the Google I/O event held a few months ago, the company announced the new Android 15 operating system, as well as Gemini 1.5 Flash and 1.5 Pro, on May 14-16, 2024. Google recently announced that Gemini 1.5 Flash is now free.
Google Gemini Flash 1.5 is now free
When introducing Gemini 1.5 Flash at I/O 2024, Google described it as “the fastest and most versatile multimodal AI model,” with an emphasis on low latency and cost. When Google first announced Gemini 1.5 Flash, it stated that the new version was many times more powerful than 1.0 Pro. While the first version could process 8k tokens simultaneously, Gemini 1.5 Flash can process 32k tokens simultaneously. This makes the new version faster and less costly.
Google’s upgrade from the currently free version of Gemini to 1.5 Flash will now allow users who do not use Gemini Advanced to access Gemini 1.5 Flash, while users using the free version will have access to many features of Gemini 1.5 Flash. The company uses Gemini 1.5 Pro on its paid plan, Gemini Advanced. While Gemini 1.5 has the basic features, the more stable Pro version is more advanced, customizable, and provides more accurate information in research.
In addition, Google recently announced that it will integrate Gemini into its Messages app. While the AI-integrated messages application is slowly becoming widespread within the European Union, it currently supports languages such as French, Polish, and Spanish. The Gemini app will soon be available in Czechia, Hungary, Israel, Kenya, Romania, Serbia, Suriname, Tanzania, Ukraine, Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Eritrea.
