Gemini 2.5 Pro Reaches Free Users as ChatGPT’s Ghibli-Style Art Goes Viral

With a focus on enhanced thinking and coding skills, Google has released its Gemini 2.5 Pro language model for free users.

Gemini 2.5 Pro, Google's newest speech model, is now available to users for free. While support for the iOS and Android mobile applications is anticipated shortly, the new model, which is currently in the experimental stage, may be chosen via the drop-down menu on the Gemini website. Earlier this week, Google introduced the Gemini 2.5 Pro model for advanced Gemini users.

However, because ChatGPT is taking center stage with its native image-generating capability, which is responsible for the viral Ghibli image fad, the tech giant has chosen to make the upgrade available to free users as well.

According to Google, Gemini 2.5 Pro excels in activities involving logic and coding skills. In benchmarks like Humanity's Last Exam and LMArena, the most recent language model also performs best on typical coding, math, and science-related activities.

Although Google has always lagged behind OpenAI and Claude in terms of coding skills, the business has made a significant wager in this area with Gemini 2.5 Pro, which adds a huge context window of one million tokens. With a context window of one million, or around 750,000 words, the chatbot can process a certain quantity of text in a single session.

It appears that the tech giants are shifting their attention from pre-trained models to reasoning models, which are also used to fuel AI agents like deep search.
