Gemini 2.0 Flash
Google's previous speed-optimised model — superseded by Gemini 3.7 Flash
Verdict
Two Flash generations behind now. 3.7 Flash costs about the same, uses meaningfully fewer tokens per task, and adds adjustable thinking levels this version never had. No reason to start new work on 2.0 Flash.
