Google announced a smaller variant of Gemini 1.5, Gemini 1.5 Flash-8B, alongside a “significantly improved” Gemini 1.5 Flash and a “stronger” Gemini 1.5 Pro. The Gemini 1.5 family of models was built to handle long contexts and can reason over fine-grained information from 10M and more tokens. This allows the models to process high-volume multimodal inputs, including documents, video, and audio.
