Last month, Google introduced Gemini 1.5 Flash to the free version of gemini.google.com. Gemini Advanced has now been updated with a “more capable version of Gemini 1.5 Pro.”
The Gemini release notes gained the following entry this afternoon:

However, it’s dated 2024.08.02, or 13 days late. It’s not clear if the date is wrong, or whether it started rolling out then and it’s now widely available. The main update being touted is “better responses for prompts related to reasoning and coding.”
This upgrade could be the experimental version of Gemini 1.5 Pro that Google made available for early testing to developers (through the Google AI Studio and Gemini API) on August 1. The team was particularly excited about how it was at the top of the LMSYS Chatbot Arena Leaderboard for two weeks or so.
We’ve reached out to Google for confirmation and more details.
