Anyway, I'm glad that this Google release is actually available right away! I pay for Gemini Advanced and I see "Gemini Flash 2.0" as an option in the model selector.
I've been going through Advent of Code this year, and testing each problem with each model (GPT-4o, o1, o1 Pro, Claude Sonnet, Opus, Gemini Pro 1.5). Gemini has done decent, but is probably the weakest of the bunch. It failed (unexpectedly to me) on Day 10, but when I tried Flash 2.0 it got it! So at least in that one benchmark, the new Flash 2.0 edged out Pro 1.5.
I look forward to seeing how it handles upcoming problems!
I should say: Gemini Flash didn't quite get it out of the box. It actually had a syntax error in the for loop, which caused it to fail to compile, which is an unusual failure mode for these models. Maybe it was a different version of Java or something (I'm also trying to learn Java with AoC this year...). But when I gave Flash 2.0 the compilation error, it did fix it.
For the more Java proficient, can someone explain why it may have provided this code:
for (int[] current = queue.remove(0)) {
which was a compilation error for me? The corrected code it gave me afterwards was just for (int[] current : queue) {
and with that one change the class ran and gave the right solution.To me that reads like it was trying to accomplish something like
int[] current;
while((current = queue.pop()) != null) {
