Gemini 2.5 Pro at a glance

Stable Gemini 2.5 Pro and Flash arrived for production use, and the new 2.5 Flash-Lite preview targeted high-volume, low-latency tasks with thinking budgets and a 1M-token context.

What changed with Gemini 2.5 Pro

On June 17, 2025, Google released stable, generally available versions of Gemini 2.5 Pro and Gemini 2.5 Flash so developers could build production applications on them. Google described the 2.5 family as hybrid reasoning models balancing performance with cost and speed.

It also opened a preview of Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite, its most cost-efficient and fastest 2.5 model, which Google said beats 2.0 Flash-Lite on coding, math, science, reasoning and multimodal tests while lowering latency. Flash-Lite keeps the family's features: adjustable thinking budgets, Google Search and code execution tools, multimodal input and a 1 million token context window. Previews were in Google AI Studio and Vertex AI.
