Gemini 2.0 Pro

Google's short-lived experimental 2.0 flagship — strongest 2.0-era coding and complex-prompt model, with a 2M-token context window.

Overview

Gemini 2.0 Pro was Google's experimental flagship in the Gemini 2.0 family, announced on February 5, 2025 as part of a wave that also expanded Gemini 2.0 Flash to general availability and introduced Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite. Google positioned Gemini 2.0 Pro (shipped as the model id gemini-2.0-pro-exp-02-05) as its best model yet for coding performance and complex prompts, citing stronger understanding and reasoning over world knowledge than any Gemini it had released to that point.

Its headline feature was scale of context: Gemini 2.0 Pro launched with Google's largest context window at the time, 2 million tokens, letting it ingest very large documents, transcripts, and codebases in a single prompt. It accepted text and image input and produced text output, and could call tools such as Google Search and code execution. The model was released to developers in Google AI Studio and Vertex AI, and to Gemini Advanced subscribers via the in-app model picker. Because it was an experimental release, it was offered for free with no published paid pricing.

Gemini 2.0 Pro was deliberately short-lived. As an experimental preview it was always subject to change, and Google's thinking-native Gemini 2.5 Pro arrived just weeks later on March 25, 2025 and effectively replaced it. Google formally deprecated gemini-2.0-pro-exp-02-05 on November 4, 2025 and shut it down on December 2, 2025, so the model is no longer available through Google's APIs.

Strengths

  • Strongest coding and complex-prompt performance of the Gemini 2.0 generation, per Google's launch positioning
  • 2-million-token context window — the largest Gemini offered at launch — for reasoning over very large documents and codebases
  • Built-in tool use: Google Search grounding, code execution, and function calling
  • Multimodal text-plus-image input for analyzing documents, charts, and screenshots
  • Free to use during its experimental phase across Google AI Studio, Vertex AI, and Gemini Advanced

Best for

  • Coding assistance and complex multi-step prompts (its primary positioning)
  • Long-context tasks: reasoning over large documents, transcripts, and code repositories in one pass
  • Agentic workflows using Google Search grounding and code execution
  • Multimodal analysis of text combined with images
  • Prototyping and experimentation in Google AI Studio or Vertex AI before moving to a stable model

FAQ

What is Gemini 2.0 Pro?

Gemini 2.0 Pro was Google's experimental flagship model in the Gemini 2.0 family, announced on February 5, 2025 and shipped as the model id gemini-2.0-pro-exp-02-05. Google described it as its best model at the time for coding and complex prompts, and it launched with a 2-million-token context window plus tool use such as Google Search and code execution.

Is Gemini 2.0 Pro still available?

No. Gemini 2.0 Pro was an experimental preview that Google deprecated on November 4, 2025 and shut down on December 2, 2025. It was effectively replaced by Gemini 2.5 Pro, released March 25, 2025. Developers should use a current Gemini model instead.

How much did Gemini 2.0 Pro cost?

Gemini 2.0 Pro was offered for free during its experimental phase — input and output were both $0.00 per 1M tokens — and Google never published a paid per-token price for it before retiring the model.

What was Gemini 2.0 Pro's context window?

Gemini 2.0 Pro had a 2-million-token context window, the largest Google offered at its launch, and could generate up to 8,192 tokens in a single response. It accepted text and image input and produced text output.
