Welcome to the Cloud Wars Minute — your daily cloud news and commentary show. Each episode provides insights and perspectives around the “reimagination machine” that is the cloud.

In today’s Cloud Wars Minute, co-host Kieron Allen takes a look at Google’s recent updates to the Gemini 2.0 model family.

Highlights

00:03 — Google has announced a series of updates to the Gemini 2.0 AI model family. The updates include Gemini 2.0 Flash, which is now generally available in the Gemini API, Google AI Studio, and Vertex AI. Additionally, Gemini 2.0 Flashlight, Google’s most cost-efficient model to date, is in public preview.

00:28 — There’s also Gemini 2.0 Pro, an experimental update focused on coding and other complex prompts. These new model variants enhance accessibility for more users, especially with regard to cost, and Google has continued to lower expenses associated with Gemini 2.0 Flash and Flashlight.

AI Agent & Copilot Summit is an AI-first event to define opportunities, impact, and outcomes with Microsoft Copilot and agents. Building on its 2025 success, the 2026 event takes place March 17-19 in San Diego. Get more details.

01:21 — Expanding the breadth of a model family to accommodate various budgets and use cases is becoming increasingly common. And while the DeepSeek news may have receded into the background, it’s clear that major AI vendors are taking notice and reevaluating their strategies to remain competitive.
