Everyone can now try Gemini 2.5 Pro - for free

Moments after DeepSeek released its latest model, another AI giant has already stolen back some of the limelight. Last Tuesday, Google announced Gemini 2.5, its "most intelligent" model. The company said this initial release is an "experimental version of 2.5 Pro, which is state-of-the-art on a wide range of benchmarks and debuts at #1 on LMArena by a significant margin." Then, on Saturday, Google revealed 2.5 Pro is now available to all Gemini users at gemini.google.com. A family of thinking models, meaning they reason through their responses, Google's Gemini 2.5 release follows the Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking models that landed in December.
