1.5 Flash is great for summaries, chat applications, image and video captions, extracting data from long documents and tables, and more. This is because it has been trained by the 1.5 Pro in a process called “distillation”, during which the most significant knowledge and skills from the larger model are transferred to a smaller, more capable model.

Significantly improved version 1.5 Pro
Over the past few months, we’ve significantly improved the 1.5 Pro, our top model for overall performance across a wide range of tasks.
In addition to expanding the context window to 2 million tokens, we have improved code generation, logical reasoning and planning, multi-turn conversation, and audio and video understanding thanks to advances in data and algorithms. For each of these tasks, we see significant improvements in public and internal benchmarks.
Version 1.5 Pro can now execute increasingly elaborate and refined instructions, including those that specify product-level behavior including role, format, and style. We’ve improved control over model responses for specific operate cases, such as creating a chat agent’s personality and response style or automating workflows through multiple function calls. We also enabled users to control the model’s behavior through settings system instructions.
We have added a function to understand audio in the file Gemini API AND Google Artificial Intelligence Studio, so version 1.5 Pro can now analyze video and audio for videos uploaded to Google AI Studio. We are now integrating version 1.5 Pro with Google products, including: Advanced Gemini and Working area apps.
