Google Adds Answer Now To Gemini
5.1
Google is rolling out an "Answer now" button in its Gemini app to speed replies from the higher-latency Pro and Thinking models. The feature skips extended chain-of-thought processing while keeping the selected high-tier model, displaying a "Skipping in-depth thinking" message. Google deploys the change across Android, iOS, and the web for free and paid users, alongside newly detailed daily limits for those models.
Key Points
- 1Introduces 'Answer now' button on Gemini Pro and Thinking models to speed immediate replies
- 2Avoids full chain-of-thought processing to reduce latency while retaining high-tier model outputs
- 3Enables faster answers across Android, iOS, web for free and paid users; preserves model choice
Scoring Rationale
Practical product improvement drives usability, but limited novelty and shallow reporting reduce broader technical and market impact.
