As you know, the AI competition worldwide is heating up every day: In response to the major AI breakthrough by the China-based DeepSeek, Google expanded its Gemini model. The tech giant under Alphabet introduced a cost-reduced “Gemini-Lite” model. So, how will this new move affect the competitive process? Here are the details!
Google Expands Gemini 2.0
DeepSeek’s launch made a huge impact in the AI world, causing a loss of $589 billion in Nvidia’s stock value. After this significant event, Google quickly focused on developing AI products and decided to expand the Gemini series.

As part of this, this week the “Gemini 2.0 Flash” model was upgraded, offering higher performance and improved image generation. However, the real highlight was the announcement of the Gemini-Lite model. With this affordable new model, Google will try to gain an advantage over lower-cost competitors like DeepSeek.
With the new update, Gemini 2.0 Pro has been equipped with more comprehensive analytical capabilities. The model, with its 2 million token context window, can process large data sets more effectively and now offers additional features like Google Search integration and code execution.
Google’s move is seen as part of its effort to strengthen its position in the AI field. Previously, the company gradually rolled out Gemini 2.0 to users, and now, by reducing the price, it aims to reach a broader user base.
