Kingy AI Take

Google introduced Gemini 2.0 as a model family for the agentic era — native multimodality and tool use, shipped first as a Flash experimental model alongside Project Astra, Project Mariner, Jules, and Deep Research (blog.google). Developers, Researchers, and Enterprises exploring agentic products got both models and working prototypes, with independent launch coverage and per-token rates on the official Gemini API pricing page. Model lineup and rates shift quickly, so verify current versions before building.
