Google updates Gemini 2.5 Pro, CEO Sundar Pichai says it is now more creative and smarter
Just two months after unveiling Gemini 2.5 Pro, Google has introduced an updated version of its most advanced AI model to date. Announced on Thursday, the latest iteration, labelled an 'updated preview', builds upon enhancements rolled out a month ago and brings improved performance in specific programming tasks. While the full release is expected in the coming weeks, developers can already access it through Google's AI platforms: AI Studio, Vertex AI, and the Gemini to a blog post from the company, '[Gemini 2.5 Pro] continues to excel at coding, leading on difficult coding benchmarks.' Google further added, 'It also shows top-tier performance [on] highly challenging benchmarks that evaluate a model's math, science, knowledge, and reasoning capabilities.'Additionally, Sundar Pichai, Google CEO took to X (formerly known as Twitter) that the updated Gemini 2.5 Pro is now better at coding, reasoning, and math. He added, "... shows improved performance across key benchmarks (AIDER Polygot, GPQA, HLE to name a few)." Among the refinements, Google says it has taken user feedback into account to polish the model's output. Pichai said, "We also heard your feedback and made improvements to style and the structure of responses." The company notes that the new version can now deliver answers that are 'more creative with better-formatted responses.' advertisementGemini 2.5 builds on the capabilities of its earlier versions, enhancing both performance and versatility. It offers native multimodal support and a significantly extended context window. The Pro variant is particularly notable, now accommodating up to 2 million tokens—doubling the already impressive 1 million-token window previously can take advantage of these features through the Gemini API, Google AI Studio, and Vertex AI. As for pricing, Google has set the cost at $1.25 (approximately Rs 108) per million input tokens without caching, and $10 (around Rs 860) per million output model in the Gemini 2.5 lineup—including future iterations—has been crafted as a 'thinking model,' designed to internally reason before generating a response. This approach, according to Google, leads to greater accuracy and stronger overall performance. The company emphasises that it is 'building these thinking capabilities directly into all of its models' to better equip them for tackling complex challenges and powering more intelligent, context-aware 2.5 represents a significant leap forward, delivering 'a new level of performance' by combining a vastly improved foundational model with refined post-training techniques. It stands as the most sophisticated version of Gemini to date.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk If there's one thing America loves more than a good barbecue, it's a reality show that serves up drama, ego, and questionable fashion choices. Enter Elon Musk and Donald Trump , the dynamic duo, now starring in the reality series we never asked for but desperately need. Episode 1: "The Big Beautiful Bill Blow-Up" The season kicks off with Trump unveiling his latest legislative masterpiece, the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act."

The internet collectively gasps.

To dismantle bureaucracy and delete inefficiency. Musk, ever the meme lord, suggests the department's final act should be to "delete itself." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Fast forward to 2025: Musk exits DOGE, citing the need to focus on his companies.

Trump Vs Musk May Be The Worst Yet, But These Political Fallouts Were Just As Brutal
Last Updated: The Donald Trump-Elon Musk feud joins a long list of major political fallouts that reshaped power, from India and China to America's most bitter rivalries What began as mutual admiration has now turned into one of the most spectacular political breakups in recent memory. Once aligned on business-friendly policies, deregulation and a shared dislike for certain parts of the media, US President Donald Trump and his former adviser, Elon Musk, are now openly attacking each other. What Triggered Trump-Musk Fallout? In May 2025, Musk openly criticised Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act', calling it fiscally reckless. The bill proposed a $2.4 trillion increase in government spending while eliminating EV tax credits — a direct hit to Tesla. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Musk called the bill a 'disgusting abomination that will destroy American competitiveness." Trump responded on Truth Social, accusing Musk of acting out of personal greed: 'Elon was 'wearing thin,' I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted… and he just went CRAZY!" Musk then dramatically escalated the feud, bringing up Trump's alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein: 'Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the REAL reason they haven't been made public." Markets shook, personal attacks escalated, and political calculations shifted — making this one of the ugliest public political fallouts in recent memory. Jawaharlal Nehru Vs Subhas Chandra Bose (India, 1939) In the pre-Independence years, the Indian National Congress saw one of its earliest and most dramatic fallouts when Subhas Chandra Bose clashed with Jawaharlal Nehru and Mahatma Gandhi. Bose, elected Congress president in 1938, envisioned a much more aggressive confrontation with British rule, including seeking international alliances with Germany and Japan. Nehru and Gandhi, meanwhile, insisted on non-violent civil disobedience. In early 1939, Bose won re-election against Gandhi's nominee, Pattabhi Sitaramayya — a victory that exposed the deepening divisions within the Congress leadership. However, despite his mandate, key Working Committee members closely aligned with Gandhi refused to cooperate with his leadership, limiting his ability to function effectively as president. Unable to bridge the growing rift, Bose resigned, writing: 'When the Congress President finds himself in a minority on fundamental matters of policy, the only honourable course open to him is to resign." Bose then formed the Forward Bloc and later led the Indian National Army (INA) alongside Axis powers during World War II — directly challenging British authority from outside the Congress framework. His alliance with the Axis complicated India's position during the global conflict, and while the British labelled him a traitor, large sections of Indian society viewed him as a patriot taking an alternate path to independence. Mao Zedong Vs Liu Shaoqi (China, 1966–1969) One of the most brutal political fallouts of the 20th century unfolded at the highest levels of China's Communist Party. Liu Shaoqi, once considered Mao Zedong's trusted deputy and the official head of state, had risen to prominence as one of the architects of China's early communist rule. But after Mao's Great Leap Forward (1958–1962) — an economic campaign that resulted in catastrophic famine and tens of millions of deaths — Liu began quietly challenging Mao's leadership, advocating for more pragmatic economic reforms to stabilise the country. For Mao, any dissent — even from within the party — was seen as a personal threat. By 1966, Mao launched the Cultural Revolution, ostensibly to root out 'bourgeois elements" within the party, but in reality, to reassert his dominance. He mobilised radical youth militias called the Red Guards to attack senior officials seen as enemies of Mao's revolution. Liu was singled out as the biggest internal enemy and branded a 'capitalist roader" — a grave political insult in communist China. Propaganda posters called for his downfall, declaring: 'Down with Liu Shaoqi! Down with China's Khrushchev!" Liu was purged from all positions of power, placed under house arrest, brutally interrogated, denied medical care, and eventually died in custody in 1969. His name was erased from official histories for years. The Mao-Liu fallout didn't just destroy Liu — it destabilised the entire Chinese state. The Cultural Revolution spiralled into a nationwide political purge that led to the persecution, imprisonment, or deaths of millions of Chinese citizens, leaving deep scars on the country that lasted decades. Indira Gandhi Vs Morarji Desai (India, 1969–1979) India's first major political split post-Independence played out between then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and senior Congress leader Morarji Desai. Desai had long viewed himself as the rightful successor to Nehru's vision of economic conservatism. Gandhi, however, pushed for socialism and centralisation. The final straw came in 1969 when she nationalised India's banking sector — against Desai's and the party old guard's wishes. Following escalating policy clashes, Desai resigned as Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister. The Congress split into two factions: Congress (Organisation), led by Desai and the Syndicate, and Congress (Requisitionists), led by Indira Gandhi. She emerged dominant electorally, but her Emergency rule (1975–77) proved deeply controversial. When Gandhi finally called elections in 1977, Morarji Desai led the Janata Party — a coalition of anti-Indira forces — to a historic win. For the first time, Congress was defeated nationally. In a later interview, Desai said bluntly: 'What she called discipline was tyranny." Their enmity defined Indian politics for over a decade, until Gandhi returned to power in 1980 after Desai's unstable coalition collapsed. Donald Trump Vs Mike Pence (USA, 2021) Donald Trump's relationship with his loyal Vice President Mike Pence shattered over Trump's attempt to overturn the 2020 election results. When Trump lost to Joe Biden, he pressured Pence to block certification of electoral votes on January 6, 2021. Pence refused, citing his constitutional duty: 'My oath to support and defend the Constitution constrains me from claiming unilateral authority to determine which electoral votes should be counted and which should not." Trump publicly attacked Pence during the Capitol riot, even tweeting mid-attack: 'Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done." As rioters stormed the Capitol, chanting 'Hang Mike Pence!", Trump's failure to intervene immediately was viewed by many, including Pence's own family, as dangerously irresponsible. In a speech months later, Pence stated, 'President Trump's words that day were reckless. They endangered my family and everyone at the Capitol." The breach was permanent. Pence launched a campaign for the 2024 Republican nomination but struggled to gain traction against Trump's loyal base. He was one of the first major candidates to drop out in late 2023, citing a lack of donor and voter support. During his brief campaign, Pence did criticise Trump's actions on January 6, stating: 'Anyone who puts themselves over the Constitution should never be President of the United States." Conclusion top videos View all Political alliances collapse all the time. However, the Trump-Musk fallout stands out for its sheer speed, personal attacks, real economic damage, and continued escalation across political, legal, and business fronts. Compared to decades of famous political ruptures, this may well be one of the most consequential — and possibly still unfolding.
