Why it matters
The gap between AI assistant and AI agent just got smaller. Building autonomous workflows becomes simpler when the model handles tool orchestration natively.
What's new in Gemini 2.0
Google's latest model can natively use tools including web browsing, code execution, and external APIs without requiring separate orchestration layers.
Key capabilities
- Native tool use - No need for separate function calling APIs
- Real-time video understanding - Process video streams in real-time
- Multimodal reasoning - Seamlessly combine text, image, and video understanding
Implications for developers
This significantly simplifies building AI agents. Previously, developers needed to implement complex orchestration to enable tool use. Now the model handles this internally.
