Google introduces Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking

Google has launched a new AI model called Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking. This innovative model is designed to ‘think out loud’, enabling it to analyze and solve complex problems through a combination of reasoning and self-reflection. 

Currently, Gemini 2.0 is available to developers through the Gemini API within Google AI Studio and Vertex AI. Although the tool is still in the experimental phase, it is considered a critical step toward AI capable of autonomous reasoning and decision-making.

ChatGPT now available on WhatsApp

As of December 2024, ChatGPT can be used directly via WhatsApp. The chatbot supports multiple languages, including Dutch, and provides instant assistance with various questions and tasks.

To use ChatGPT on WhatsApp, simply add the chatbot as a contact using the phone number +1-800-2428478. From there, you can easily start a conversation. This version of ChatGPT runs on the GPT-4o Mini model, which means it does not yet have access to real-time internet information. For now, its focus remains on answering general questions and offering practical support.
