Google has announced a big update for users of its Gemini application. The company is making its advanced AI model, Gemini 2.5 Pro, available for free to all users. Previously, this model was only accessible to Gemini Advanced subscribers who paid $19.99 per month (about 145 yuan). Now, Google is offering it to everyone so that more people can experience its powerful features.
Google Unveils Gemini 2.5 Pro for All Users – No Subscription Required
Gemini 2.5 Pro was released earlier this week and is being called Google’s smartest AI model yet. The new version comes with several improvements, including better reasoning abilities. It also introduces new features like app and browser extensions, file uploads, and integration with Google’s Canvas collaboration tool. These updates make the model more versatile and capable of handling a wider range of tasks.
In the past, only paying subscribers had access to Gemini 2.5 Pro. Google decided to make it free for all users in an effort to let more people explore its cutting-edge technology. The goal is to allow users to experience the AI’s enhanced performance and provide feedback that can help improve it further.
Gemini 2.5 Pro is now available on the official Gemini website. It will also be available on the Gemini app for Android and iOS soon. Along with this release, Google has updated the Gemini app to improve the user experience. The update makes it easier for users to select and remember which version of the Gemini model they are using.
Despite still being in the experimental phase, Gemini 2.5 Pro has already shown impressive performance. It supports app integrations, file uploads, and works well with the Canvas tool. The model also features a context window of 1 million tokens, allowing it to process large amounts of data and maintain consistency in long conversations. Google plans to expand the token limit to 2 million in the future to improve memory capacity and performance.
Gemini 2.5 Pro is already ranked at the top of the LMArena benchmarks. Google is also working on improving its ability to handle code, making it even more powerful for developers. With all these enhancements, Gemini 2.5 Pro is set to become a powerful tool for both everyday users and professionals alike.
