Google Gemini could be getting a 2.0 version soon, as it’s now being reported that Google has plans for a launch by the end of the year. That would put it about 12 months after the release of the first version, which Google launched in December of 2023.
The new AI tool/conversationalist has been getting fed into a few Google products since it launched. You can find it on Google’s Pixel 8 and Pixel 9 smartphones, and it’s now integrated with the Pixel Buds Pro 2 earbuds. It’s also available and integrated with Gmail, the Galaxy S24 series, and several other products. At current Google is up to Gemini 1.5 Pro, and offers a handful of Gemini plans for a varying degree of price points.
Its most advanced, aptly named Gemini Advanced, features access to features like Gemini Live, which at current doesn’t do much beyond talk to you like a normal human being would. However, that could change with the launch of Gemini 2.0.
Google may launch Gemini 2.0 in December of this year
Google announced and then launched Gemini 1.0 in December of 2023, and now it looks like the plan is to announce and launch in the same month a year later. According to The Verge, Google is intending to announce Gemini 2.0 sometime in December. It will potentially launch at the same time or soon thereafter.
As with Gemini 1.0, Google may end up rolling out the new version of its AI tool to both developers and end users. There is still no exact date that’s been mentioned though. So it’s unclear when exactly in December this announcement and launch would happen.
It’s unclear what new features may be added
Gemini has several features in its current state but at its most basic you can use it to get answers to your questions. Either by feeding it text or images and asking it to provide you with more information on the context. Although we now have a potential Gemini 2.0 announcement and release date, it’s still unclear what new features may be coming along with the version update. Google has also yet to confirm any details about the launch or what the new model will bring to the table.
