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.

Google Photos to soon get Material 3 Expressive redesign: Here's how it looks like
Last month, Google announced that Android 16 and WearOS 6 will be getting a new design language called 'Material 3 Expressive'. In a blog post, the tech giant said the new UI redesign 'feels even more fluid and introduces a system of more natural, springy animations.' Since then, Google has been giving some of its Android apps the Material 3 Expressive treatment, with some elements appearing in apps like Gmail, Messages and Google Photos, which is reportedly getting a major overhaul. According to Android Authority, Google Photos is now getting an updated interface with version 7.30, but you will have to enable it manually. In the image, you can see that Google Photos now has an updated homepage where the app name is no longer shown at the top but is instead replaced by a minimalistic app logo. Google also seems to be making some changes to how photo previews appear in the Memories carousel, with the updated design now featuring a heart-shaped border that separates cards into two sections. The bottom half now shows the image, while the top of the carousel has a solid background with text on top. The tech giant is also reportedly getting a redesigned video player and a redesigned search results page. And while the latest version of Google Photos does not feature the floating bottom bar and rounded image previews, there's a chance that Google might introduce these changes before the updated app is rolled out to everyone. Google is also updating the app loading icon to match the new Material 3 Expressive animations. A few days ago, Google redesigned the album view, enabling users to scan QR codes to share an album and moved the Sort photos button to the top bar. The new Google Photos app with Material 3 Expressive design is expected to roll out alongside Android 16 QPR1, which Google says will be coming later this year.
