Google Expands Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental AI Access to Free Users

The advanced AI model, praised for its reasoning and coding capabilities, is now available with limitations for free-tier users while paid users retain enhanced features.

Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental, its most advanced AI model, is now accessible to all users, including those on the free tier, as of March 30, 2025.
Free users face restrictions such as rate limits and smaller context windows, while paid users enjoy extended access and advanced features like larger context windows and Canvas integration.
The model demonstrates significant improvements in reasoning, coding, and math, outperforming competitors on benchmarks like Humanity's Last Exam and LMArena.
Praised for reducing hallucinations and improving conversational flow, Gemini 2.5 Pro is part of Google's strategy to integrate reasoning capabilities into all future AI models.
Google plans to expand the model's context window to 2 million tokens and roll out mobile access soon, though no specific timeline has been provided.
