Gemini 2.5 Flash and Pro are now generally available, and we’re introducing the new 2.5 Flash-Lite, our most cost-efficient and fastest 2.5 model yet.
We designed Gemini 2.5 as a family of hybrid reasoning models that deliver outstanding performance while being at the Pareto Frontier of cost and speed. Today, we are releasing stable versions of 2.5 Pro and Flash, allowing developers to confidently build production applications. Developers like Spline and Rooms, and organizations like Snap and SmartBear, have already been using the latest versions in production for the past few weeks.
Additionally, we are introducing a preview of Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite, our most cost-efficient and fastest 2.5 model yet. Users can start building with the preview version now, and we look forward to your feedback. The 2.5 Flash-Lite excels in coding, math, science, reasoning, and multimodal benchmarks, showing higher quality than 2.0 Flash-Lite. It is particularly suited for high-volume, latency-sensitive tasks like translation and classification, with lower latency than both 2.0 Flash-Lite and 2.0 Flash on a broad sample of prompts.
This model retains all the capabilities that make Gemini 2.5 useful, such as the ability to activate reasoning at different budgets, connecting to tools like Google Search and code execution, multimodal input, and a 1 million-token context length. For more details on our 2.5 family of models, refer to the latest Gemini technical report.
The preview of Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite is now available in Google AI Studio and Vertex AI, alongside the stable versions of 2.5 Flash and Pro. We are excited to see what you continue to build with Gemini 2.5.
