Google opens up Gemini 2.5 Pro to free users just days after launch ...
Google has made an exciting announcement regarding its latest next-generation inference AI model, Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental. The tech giant is now offering this powerful AI model to free users of Gemini. While Google refers to Gemini 2.5 Pro as the 'most intelligent AI model,' it's important to note that the version accessible to free users is the experimental version, denoted by the name 'Experimental'.
Availability for All Users
Previously, Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental was exclusively available to Gemini Advanced users, who had the opportunity to utilize it at no cost for the initial month. Following the trial period, it transitioned into a subscription-based service priced at 2,900 yen per month.
However, on March 30, 2025, Google surprised users with the announcement that Gemini 2.5 Pro is now accessible to all. The company shared, 'The team is dedicated, the TPUs are operating at full capacity, and we aim to provide the most advanced models to as many individuals as possible at the earliest opportunity. This led us to offer Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental to all Gemini users starting today for a free trial.'
Google has emphasized that Gemini 2.5 Pro aims to revolutionize AI technology and is now available to a wider user base through this unprecedented move.
Future Prospects
As of now, Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental is accessible to free users on the browser version of Gemini, with plans for availability on the iOS and Android app versions in the near future. It is worth noting that free users are bound by certain rate limits, unlike Advanced users who enjoy additional privileges such as an extended context window.
While the current offering pertains to the experimental version, the potential release of the stable version of Gemini 2.5 Pro to all free users remains uncertain. Google's continuous efforts to enhance accessibility and innovation in AI technology suggest promising developments in the future.
