Google unexpectedly announced on Saturday, releasing the latest Geminі 2.5 Pro (experimental) model to all users — including free users.
Gemini 2.5 Pro has been announced last week as «Google’s «most intelligent artificial intelligence model that offers «thinking capabilities. It is currently in the «experimental» phase, but supports a number of features, including apps and extensions, file uploads, and Canvas.
At launch, Gemini 2.5 Pro was only available to Gemini Advanced subscribers, with Google One AI Premium for $19.99 per month (in the US). On Saturday, Google announced that «has decided to roll out Gemini 2.5 Pro (experimental) to all Gemini» users. The model is already available on gemini.google.com. Soon the model will appear in Android programs and iOS.
Google says that it wants to give away the most intelligent model into the hands of as many people as possible. Gemini 2.5 Pro is currently at the top of the LMArena leaderboard, while also holding the lead in math and science tests. Google is also working to improve coding performance.
However, it is unknown whether Google will make the stable version of 2.5 Pro free for all Gemini users. In recent months, Google has been making more features publicly available, including in-depth research, information storage, document upload and analysis, and image creation.
