How Deep Think works: extending Gemini’s parallel “thinking time”
Just as people tackle complex problems by taking the time to explore different angles, weigh potential solutions, and refine a final answer, Deep Think pushes the frontier of thinking capabilities by using parallel thinking techniques. This approach lets Gemini generate many ideas at once and consider them simultaneously, even revising or combining different ideas over time, before arriving at the best answer.
Moreover, by extending the inference time or “thinking time,” we give Gemini more time to explore different hypotheses, and arrive at creative solutions to complex problems.
We’ve also developed novel reinforcement learning techniques that encourage the model to make use of these extended reasoning paths, thus enabling Deep Think to become a better, more intuitive problem-solver over time.
