On March 25, Google presented Gemini 2.5 Pro. Although it is in the experimental phase, the company presents it as its most advanced AI model. For the past few hours, you can see for yourself: the company has in fact made it available to all users, free of charge.
Google made this announcement via the following message posted on the social network X. A priori, no chatbot is needed to understand the meaning: "[...] we have decided to deploy Gemini 2.5 Pro (experimental) to all Gemini users, at starting today [March 30]». The company justifies its approach by its desire to «put the most advanced model into the hands of the greatest number of people as quickly as possible».
Gemini 2.5 Pro for everyone
Gemini 2.5 Pro joins Gemini 2.0; a model launched last December. During the presentation of its latest evolution, Google highlighted the superiority of its model in several areas compared to competing solutions such as OpenAI o3-mini or GPT-4.5.
The new version has been temporarily restricted to Gemini Advanced developers and subscribers. But you can already enjoy it without paying the €21.99 monthly AI Premium plan required at launch.
To do this, simply go through the Gemini application, which has recently had a makeover. Or go to gemini.google.com. At this stage, a Google account is still required, but this prerequisite should be removed in the relatively near future.
A holistic model
Once logged in, you will have the opportunity to select Gemini 2.5 Pro. This version is presented as "ideal for complex tasks.".
We detailed the key features of this model during the presentation. So this time, let's ask the first person concerned the reasons for his qualification.
Not modest in the least, he boasts of his native multimodality. "This means that I can understand, process, and reason fluidly and simultaneously about different types of information," he boasts (specifying that the different types of data in question are text, image, audio, and code). Gemini 2.5 Pro perfects his self-portrait by arguing that this holistic understanding (in other words, considering an object, a concept, in its entirety, as a whole) gives him advanced reasoning abilities. Free to you to test it to give a less biased opinion...
