Gemini app gains 2.0 Experimental Advanced access on Android, iOS

After introducing in mid-December, Gemini Advanced subscribers can now access 2.0 Experimental Advanced in the Gemini app on Android and iOS. 

While Gemini 2.0 Flash Experimental has been available for all users since last month, Google has just introduced 2.0 Experimental Advanced to the Gemini app. It was previously only available on the desktop/mobile website.

Gemini-Exp-1206 offers “significantly improved performance on complex tasks such as coding, math, reasoning and instruction following.” However, it “lacks access to real-time info and some Gemini features,” like file upload.”

The model, which remains at the top of the Chatbot Arena LLM Leaderboard, can be used for “tackling complex coding challenges, solving mathematical problems for school or personal projects, or providing detailed, multi-step instructions to craft a tailored business plan.” 

Tap the model switcher at the top of your screen. 2.0 Experimental Advanced joins 1.5 Flash, 1.5 Pro, and 2.0 Flash Experimental. Force stop the Gemini/Google app on Android if you’re not seeing it yet, while Google released an update to the Gemini app for iOS today following last month’s bigger upgrade.

Gemini Advanced requires a Google One AI Premium subscription ($19.99 per month).

It remains to be seen what model Gemini-Exp-1206 will launch as. It could be Gemini 2.0 Pro or some other model above 2.0 Flash.
