Google has announced that all users, including those without a paid subscription, can now experiment with its latest AI model, the experimental version of Gemini 2.5 Pro. This move, revealed over the weekend, grants free access to the model, though with stricter usage limits compared to premium subscribers.
The company first introduced Gemini 2.5 Pro last week, highlighting it as the most sophisticated AI model it has developed so far. Initially, access was exclusive to Gemini Advanced subscribers, but now, non-paying users can explore its capabilities via Google AI Studio and the Gemini app.
Despite the broader availability, Google emphasized that premium Gemini Advanced users will still benefit from enhanced features, including extended access and a significantly larger context window for more complex interactions.
This experimental release marks the debut of Google’s Gemini 2.5 “thinking” models, engineered to provide more accurate results through improved reasoning. In a blog post, Google detailed that this model is designed to analyze information, make logical deductions, incorporate contextual nuances, and arrive at well-informed conclusions.
By making this AI model accessible to more users, Google continues to push the boundaries of artificial intelligence, allowing a wider audience to engage with and test its latest advancements.
