Google has officially announced the release of its latest addition to the Gemini AI model line-up, the Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite. This new AI model is designed to deliver high performance at an affordable cost and faster speeds than ever before. Google has made the Gemini 2.5 Flash and Pro models generally available to all users.
Key Features of Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite:

Despite its lightweight design, the 2.5 Flash Lite model comes equipped with advanced capabilities, including support for multimodal inputs, a 1 million-token context window, integration with Google Search, and code execution. This model is ideal for developers looking to balance efficiency and robust AI functionality.
Developers can access the Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite model in preview through Google AI Studio and Vertex AI. Google has also integrated customized versions of Flash Lite and Flash into core products like Search, expanding their usability to everyday users.
Stable and Generally Available Models:
In addition to the Flash Lite model, Google has made the Gemini 2.5 Flash and Gemini 2.5 Pro models stable and generally available.
