Google officially introduced Gemini 2.5, an update for its Artificial Intelligence (AI) models. It follows Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking, which was the tech giant’s first thinking model.
Yesterday, the company presented its first 2.5 release, which it considers an experimental version of 2.5 Pro. In line with this, it claims that the new thinking model is the most intelligent among its AI models.
More concretely, the Gemini 2.5 models can reason through their thoughts before sending out a response. Subsequently, it enables improved performance and better accuracy.
Prior to the announcement, Google has been exploring ways to create smarter AI. Similarly, the company wanted to make the models more capable of reasoning using reinforcement learning and chain-of-thought prompting techniques.
“In the field of AI, a system’s capacity for “reasoning” refers to more than just classification and prediction,” states Google Deepmind CTO Koray Kavukcuoglu.
Accordingly, the corporation’s newest model reached a higher performance level by integrating improved post-training with an enhanced base model.
The Gemini 2.5 Pro
Based on a Google article, the Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental is the most advanced model designed to accomplish complex tasks. Specifically, it has enhanced reasoning and advanced coding.
The company also claims that its latest thinking model beats its competitions in the field, including OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, and DeepSeek. It highlighted that it ranks first by a notable margin in the LMArena leaderboard across common AI capabilities.
“Gemini 2.5 Pro is an awesome state-of-the-art model, no.1 on LMArena by a whopping +39 ELO points, with significant improvements across the board in multimodal reasoning, coding & STEM,” Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis said in a post on X.
Google says it will integrate these thinking capabilities into all models to boost overall performance as it moves forward.
As of now, Gemini 2.5 Pro is only available in Google AI Studio, while Gemini Advanced users can access it through the Gemini app.
