  • Google is reportedly gearing up to launch Gemini 2.0, its next artificial intelligence model.
  • Now, a new model titled Gemini-2.0-Pro-Exp-0111 has appeared for at least one user of the Gemini web client.
  • It’s unclear if this curiously-named AI model is truly powered by Gemini 2.0 Pro, or when the model will become widely available.

Google and OpenAI are both planning to release the next versions of their flagship AI models by year’s end, or in early 2024. Prior reports indicated that the two companies are gearing up to ship Gemini 2.0 and Orion, respectively, sometime in December. More recently, the folks at TestingCatalog spotted a new and conspicuously-named Gemini model that could be Gemini 2.0 Pro.

TestingCatalog says that the model is “quite fast” responding to prompts, but that it’s impossible to know whether it’s really Gemini 2.0 Pro under the hood. It’s named Gemini-2.0-Pro-Exp-0111, and was discovered in the dropdown menu that lets you select which model the Gemini chatbot uses. Currently, the option for free users is Gemini 1.5 Flash. Paid subscribers gain access to Gemini Advanced, which adds Gemini 1.5 Pro.
