About Gemini 2.0 Flash

Gemini 2.0 Flash was the first Flash-tier release that combined a 1M-token context window with affordable pricing. It remains in use for legacy workloads pinned to its tokenizer or behavior.

Most teams have moved on to 2.5 Flash or Gemini 3 Flash for new builds, but 2.0 sees continued production use in regulated environments where model upgrades require re-validation.
