Google Surprises with Free Access to Cutting-Edge Gemini 2.5 Pro (Experimental) AI
In an unexpected move, Google announced it is rolling out the Gemini 2.5 Pro (experimental) model to all free users of the Gemini app. Initially launched for Gemini Advanced subscribers at $19.99 per month, this AI model integrates advanced thinking capabilities and supports features like apps/Extensions, file uploads, and Canvas. The experimental version is now widely available on the web and will soon be available on Android and iOS apps. Google aims to make its most intelligent model accessible to more users quickly. Currently leading in math and science benchmarks, the company is also working on improving coding performance. It remains unclear if the stable version will remain free post-experimental phase.
