Is Google testing Gemini 2.0 powered AI Overviews?

Michael Glavac shared a video of some of the longest and most comprehensive AI Overviews I’ve seen displayed in Google Search to date. These AI Overviews have over 600 works, reference over 60 different sites and are incredibly detailed.

What it looks like. Here is a videocast of this that Michael shared on LinkedIn:

More details. “Just came across this AIO that’s essentially a full article that referred to 61 sites,” Michael wrote. This AI Overview shows:

• 628 total words
• Each line referred to a minimum 4 sites/sources
• The sites/sources were not all relevant and there were some obscure sites that got pulled in, he added.

In this case, the query was [How to build a real estate website] – I personally cannot replicate this myself but the videocast is above.

Gemini 2.0 powered? The question is, is this what Sundar Pichai, Google’s CEO referenced a couple months ago, around AI Overviews powered by Gemini 2.0 being tested. Back then, Google’s AI Overviews should be able to “tackle more complex topics and multi-step questions, including advanced math equations, multimodal queries and coding,” Google wrote.

Google said it is “bringing the advanced reasoning capabilities of Gemini 2.0 to AI Overviews to tackle more complex topics and multi-step questions, including advanced math equations, multimodal queries and coding.”

Google already started limited testing this week of this updated model for AI Overviews. Google said they will “be rolling it out more broadly early next year.” “And we’ll continue to bring AI Overviews to more countries and languages over the next year,” Google added.

Mike King, on that LinkedIn post, asked if this is “Gemini Advanced Deep Research product in the SERPs”?

Why we care. More advanced and detailed AI Overviews can impact the main core web search results, if the searcher gets all the information they need directly in the AI Overview.

Of course, your site can be referenced in that AI Overview, amongst the 60+ other sites.

This does not seem to be fully rolled out yet and seems to be testing right now. So you should be aware of this test.
