Google has pushed out a shiny new AI model in the form of Gemini 2.5 Pro—and it's available for free. As with many recent AI model releases, the reasoning capabilities of the model are said to be the biggest upgrade here.

Less than a week after its release to Gemini Advanced subscribers, the Google Gemini 2.5 Pro (experimental) model is now available to anyone who wants to try it, albeit with rate limits. Google says the new models now incorporate step-by-step “thinking” processes to become the best ones yet,

The free plan will feature the entry-level Gemini 2.5 Pro model, which the company terms its “most advanced AI model” to date. Free users, however, will have more limited usage caps and will not be able to utilize some of the premium features, such as large file uploads or the full one-million token context window, that are given to premium users.
