Google rolls out Gemini 2.5 model for all users: Here is everything you need to know

Gemini

Google has just rolled out its latest AI model, Gemini 2.5, to all users—free and paid. This is a big move considering that, initially, it was only available to those paying $20 per month for a Gemini Advanced subscription. But within a week of launch, Google decided to make it accessible to everyone.

So, what’s the big deal about Gemini 2.5? This is Google’s most advanced AI model yet, it is designed to process information more intelligently and accurately. It can understand complex contexts, analyze data with better reasoning, and provide more precise responses than its predecessors. Essentially, it’s smarter and more capable than before.

Even though free users now have access to Gemini 2.5, there are still benefits to paying for Gemini Advanced. Google clarified that Advanced subscribers get a much better experience. Here’s how:

–They can send more requests per minute

–They can make more requests per day

–They get a longer context window, which means the AI can remember more information in a conversation.

–They have double the number of tokens per minute, which allows for more detailed and complex interactions.

Despite being new, Gemini 2.5 is already showing impressive performance. It has taken the top spot on the LMArena leaderboard, surpassing OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4o in areas like math, creative writing, and science-related tasks. However, it still lags behind OpenAI’s model in coding and multi-step reasoning.

If you want to try Gemini 2.5 for yourself, you can do so for free on the official Gemini website. Google has also confirmed that app support for free users is coming soon.
