## Benchmark scores published at release

| Benchmark | Score | Source | What it measures |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| BullshitBench v2 | 15% | Lab | Given a confidently-worded but nonsensical prompt, does the AI spot that it makes no sense and push back — instead of playing along and inventing an answer? The score is how often it clearly called out the nonsense. Higher is better. |

## About Gemini 2.0 Flash

Gemini 2.0 Flash, generally available January 30, 2025 after a December 2024 preview, was the launch model of what Google called the agentic era: native tool use, multimodal output including image generation and steerable text-to-speech, and a Multimodal Live API for real-time audio and video streaming — all at Flash-tier latency and pricing.

Unusually, Google led the 2.0 generation with its workhorse model rather than its flagship; 2.0 Flash outperformed the previous-generation 1.5 Pro while costing far less, and it powered the first wave of Google's agent prototypes. The 2.0 line filled out with Flash-Lite and Pro within a week, but was quickly eclipsed by the thinking-native Gemini 2.5 family in March 2025.
