Google's Gemini AI family updated with stable 2.5 Pro, super-efficient 2.5 Flash-Lite
Briefly

Google has launched its Gemini 2.5 Pro model, which is now ready for developers, alongside the new Flash-Lite model aimed at cost-sensitive users. The Gemini 2.5 models exhibit significant improvements, positioning Google more competitively against OpenAI's offerings. The 2.5 Pro model addresses previous issues and is available in the 06-05 build, while Flash-Lite provides a budget-friendly alternative for running high-volume AI workloads, costing significantly less than its predecessors. However, Flash-Lite's capabilities are limited, meaning it's tailored more for developers than general users.
Google's Gemini AI model family has expanded with the general availability of the 2.5 Pro model and the introduction of the Flash-Lite version, enabling more cost-effective AI solutions.
The recently launched Gemini 2.5 Pro models offer adjustable thinking budgets, catering to developers who seek cost control, while the low-cost Flash-Lite variant makes high-volume workloads more feasible.
