Overview

  • Code points to a new model picker that lets users choose between speed-focused Fast and accuracy-focused Advanced Gemini models.
  • The Advanced option currently appears limited to EnglishSpanish and EnglishFrench language pairs, with reports indicating broader support later.
  • The interface is being reorganized for one-handed use, moving the voice input button to the right and placing microphone, handwriting, and paste controls at the bottom.
  • References in the app suggest a Practice mode under development alongside a refreshed Conversation mode.
  • Google has not detailed availability, so model names, language coverage, and rollout timing may change before release.
