Google Adds 'Answer Now' Option to Gemini App for Faster AI Responses

Google has introduced an 'Answer Now' option in its Gemini app for Android, iOS, and web users, available on both free and paid accounts. This feature allows users selecting the Pro or Thinking AI models to bypass longer reasoning steps and receive faster responses without switching to the Fast model. Google emphasizes that the answers are generated using the originally selected model, potentially resulting in different responses than the Fast mode. The update aims to enhance user experience by offering quicker replies while maintaining model consistency.
