Google may release new Gemini models on March 12, as suggested by evidence in the code and tooltips indicating "New models available." This aligns with Google's previous pattern of adhering to spotted launch dates, such as the February 5 release of Gemini updates. However, delays have occurred in the past, such as in January, when a planned release was postponed. The March 12 launch could potentially include multiple models based on the "Thinking GA" (General Availability) tags and other recent discoveries.
Potential Candidates
The two primary candidates for the upcoming release are:
- Flash 2.0 Thinking (non-experimental) and Flash 2.0 Thinking with Apps (non-experimental): These models are tagged as "Thinking GA," suggesting they may be stable, full versions of previously experimental releases. The "Thinking with Apps" model is designed to integrate with Google services like Gmail, YouTube, and Maps, allowing it to reason and decide which tools to use for specific tasks.
- Personalization Experimental: Recently discovered functionality hints at Gemini offering personalized responses based on users' search history. This feature could tailor interactions to individual preferences and needs.
Additionally, Google has been working on advanced features like screen-sharing and real-time video analysis through its Gemini Live tools, which are expected to roll out in March under the Gemini Advanced subscription.
Earlier, new changelog placeholders have also been added with dates 03 and 07 of March. However, these updates are often getting updated with a delay and also often reflect the time when the feature is available to all users.
About Gemini
Google's Gemini initiative represents its push to compete with OpenAI's ChatGPT and other AI platforms. The company has focused on multimodal capabilities—integrating text, images, and apps—and improving reasoning processes. However, some users have criticized Gemini for its fragmented experience compared to Google Assistant. By releasing stable versions of Flash Thinking models and introducing personalization, Google aims to address these concerns while expanding Gemini's utility.
If the March 12 release proceeds as anticipated, it could mark a significant step in Google's AI strategy by offering more polished and versatile models to both general users and enterprise customers. However, given past delays, there remains a possibility of postponement.
