Google previews Gemini 2.5 Flash hybrid reasoning model
Briefly

Google has unveiled Gemini 2.5 Flash, an advanced hybrid reasoning model that significantly upgrades reasoning capabilities compared to its predecessor, Gemini 2.0. This model introduces a unique feature allowing developers to toggle 'thinking' on or off, enabling tailored approaches to response generation. Developers can manage 'thinking budgets' for optimal quality, cost, and latency trade-offs. The model's ability to engage in a 'thinking' process enhances its understanding of complex prompts, leading to more comprehensive and accurate answers in challenging tasks, especially those requiring in-depth reasoning, like solving mathematical problems.
Gemini 2.5 Flash is Google's first fully hybrid reasoning model, giving developers the ability to turn thinking on or off, enhancing control and efficiency.
The model allows developers to set thinking budgets to find the right tradeoff between quality, cost, and latency, optimizing performance and resource use.
Google described Gemini 2.5 Flash as having a major upgrade in reasoning capabilities while prioritizing speed and cost, making it more effective for developers.
By performing a 'thinking' process, Gemini 2.5 can better understand prompts, break down complex tasks, and provide more accurate responses.
