I just put Gemini 2.0 vs Gemini 1.5 head to head — here's how much better the upgrade is

Google’s AI ecosystem has rapidly evolved, with the release of Gemini 2.0 following the success of Gemini 1.5 Flash. Both models bring multimodal capabilities, processing text, images, audio, and code, but Gemini 2.0 raises the bar with significant advancements in depth, creativity, and precision. As of yesterday (December 11), Gemini 2.0 is available through the Google Search engine, specifically in the form of AI Overviews, which are powered by the Gemini 2.0 model and can be accessed by anyone using Google Search globally. Additionally, users can also access a chat version of Gemini 2.0 (called "Gemini 2.0 Flash") through the Gemini app or the web interface, making it accessible worldwide. The model introduces new features and enhanced core capabilities.

I went hands-on with both models using seven different prompts. Here’s a breakdown of what happened, how the responses differed, and my thoughts.
