Leading the charge is an updated version of the Gemini 2.5 Flash Preview model. Google announced that this new iteration boasts “stronger performance on coding and complex reasoning tasks that is optimised for speed and efficiency.” This offers developers a potent blend of high-end capability with the agility needed for rapid development and deployment.

It’s not just about raw power, though. Google is also championing greater insight and command over its models.

“Thought summaries are now available across our 2.5 models,” the company revealed, adding that they “will bring thinking budgets to 2.5 Pro Preview soon to help developers further manage costs and control how our models think before they respond.”

This directly addresses developers’ desires for more granular control and better cost-efficiency – crucial for real-world application.

For those eager to get their hands on these, both the updated Gemini 2.5 Flash and the existing 2.5 Pro are currently in Preview within Google AI Studio and Vertex AI. Wider general availability for Flash is pencilled in for early June, with Pro set to follow suit soon after.
