It's "experimental", which means that it is not fully released. In particular, the "experimental" tag means that it is subject to a different privacy policy and that they reserve the right to train on your prompts.

2.0 Pro is also still "experimental" so I agree with GP that it's pretty odd that they are "releasing" the next version despite never having gotten to fully releasing the previous version.

Thanks. I think my post lacked clarity of what I was talking about. I meant that most people care about API access to use with their favorite editor. It's a big limiter with grok, for example.

But I did mingle that with my knowledge of google's history of releasing without releasing these models which, as you point out, isn't true with this release.

and the price is 0.0 usd, lol
