There’s a new Google AI model in town, and it can generate or edit images as easily as it can create text—as part of its chatbot conversation. The results aren’t perfect, but it’s quite possible everyone in the near future will be able to manipulate images this way.
Last Wednesday, Google expanded access to Gemini 2.0 Flash’s native image generation capabilities, making the experimental feature available to anyone using Google AI Studio. Previously limited to testers since December, the multimodal technology integrates both native text and image processing capabilities into one AI model.
The new model, titled “Gemini 2.0 Flash (Image Generation) Experimental,” flew somewhat under the radar last week, but it has been garnering more attention over the past few days due to its ability to remove watermarks from images, albeit with artifacts and a reduction in image quality.
