Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Mode is an experimental model that's trained to generate the "thinking process" the model goes through as part of its response. As a result, Thinking Mode is capable of stronger reasoning capabilities in its responses than the base Gemini 2.0 Flash model.
The latest and strongest model family from OpenAI, o1 is designed to spend more time thinking before responding. The o1 model series is trained with large-scale reinforcement learning to reason using chain of thought.
The o1 models are optimized for math, science, programming, and other STEM-related tasks. They consistently exhibit PhD-level accuracy on benchmarks in physics, chemistry, and biology. Learn more in the launch announcement.
