Google makes Gemini 2.5 Pro free for all users

Previously, Gemini 2.5 Pro was limited to Gemini Advanced users, who had to pay $19.99 (about 512,000 VND) per month. This 'big play' by Google is explained as "getting our smartest model into the hands of more people as soon as possible".

So what's so special about the Gemini 2.5 Pro? Launched earlier this week, the Gemini 2.5 Pro is what Google calls its 'smartest AI model' to date. It's capable of more complex thinking than previous versions, supporting a variety of features like app and browser extensions, file uploads, and integration with the Canvas collaboration tool.

In particular, Gemini 2.5 Pro also impresses with a context window of up to 1 million tokens, allowing for processing huge amounts of data and maintaining context during long interactions. Google is also planning to upgrade this context window to 2 million tokens in the future.

According to information from Google, Gemini 2.5 Pro (test version) is currently leading the LMArena rankings, affirming the company's 'not-so-easy' position. Besides, Google is also actively improving the programming capabilities of this model.

Users can experience Gemini 2.5 Pro right now on the Gemini website. The Android and iOS mobile app versions will be rolled out in the coming days. Recent updates also make it easier for users to select and remember which Gemini model they are using.

Google's free release of Gemini 2.5 Pro shows its ambition to bring AI to the masses. Is this a strategic move for Google to dominate the increasingly competitive AI market? Let's wait and see what changes Google's smartest AI model will bring in the future.
