After releasing the first preview in March, the company has launched the full version of its improved artificial intelligence language model alongside Gemini 2.5 Flash - which Google has said will be "fast all-around help".
In a blog post, Google’s Senior Director of Product Management Tulsee Doshi said: “Today we’re releasing stable versions of 2.5 Flash and Pro, so you can build production applications with confidence.
“Developers like Spline and Rooms and organizations like Snap and SmartBear have already been using the latest versions in-production for the last few weeks.”
As well as 2.5 Pro and 2.5 Flash, Google introduced Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite, which can be accessed with its preview version now.
Doshi said: “We’re also introducing a preview of the new Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite, our most cost-efficient and fastest 2.5 model yet. You can start building with the preview version now, and we’re looking forward to your feedback.
“2.5 Flash Lite has all-around higher quality than 2.0 Flash-Lite on coding, math, science, reasoning and multimodal benchmarks. It excels at high-volume, latency-sensitive tasks like translation and classification, with lower latency than 2.0 Flash-Lite and 2.0 Flash on a broad sample of prompts.
“It comes with the same capabilities that make Gemini 2.5 helpful, including the ability to turn thinking on at different budgets, connecting to tools like Google Search and code execution, multimodal input, and a 1 million-token context length.”
The director concluded: “The preview of Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite is now available in Google AI Studio and Vertex AI, alongside the stable versions of 2.5 Flash and Pro. Both 2.5 Flash and Pro are also accessible in the Gemini app.
“ We’ve also brought custom versions of 2.5 Flash-Lite and Flash to Search.We can’t wait to see what you continue to build with Gemini 2.5.”
Google clarified that users of the free version of the Gemini app will continue to have “limited access” to 2.5 Pro, while 2.5 Pro subscribers get 100 prompts per day, or “expanded access”.
