Priority access with Gemini Advanced: Try our latest 2.5 Pro model
What: Today we’re introducing Gemini 2.5, our most intelligent AI model. Our first 2.5 release is a chat optimized version of Gemini-2.5-Pro-Exp-03-25, which is state-of-the-art on a wide range of benchmarks and debuts at #1 on LMArena by a significant margin. This model also has thinking capabilities natively built in, with improved performance in complex tasks like coding, math, and image understanding. 2.5 Pro (experimental) is now rolling out to the Gemini web and mobile app and is available to qualifying Google Workspace business and education plans. This experimental model is meant to be an early preview and can have unexpected behaviors and may make mistakes. Why: We believe in rapid iteration and bringing the best of Gemini to the world, and we want to give Gemini Advanced subscribers priority access to our latest AI innovations. Your feedback helps us improve these models over time and learning from experimental launches informs how we release models more widely.

Try Canvas, a new way to collaborate with Gemini, plus 1 more change
What: Starting today, you can collaborate with Gemini 2.0 Flash to write documents and code in Canvas, a new interactive space that makes refining & sharing your work really easy. Co-create documents: Generate a first draft, then rapidly refine and ask Gemini for feedback on your edits. Update specific sections or the whole draft, and use the quick editor tools to change the tone, length, or formatting. From essays to blog posts to reports, uplevel your documents in Canvas. Generate & iterate on code: Easily convert your ideas to working prototypes for web apps, Python scripts, and more. Ask Gemini to generate & preview React or HTML code directly in Canvas in a familiar code editor, and review Gemini's changes on each turn. Canvas is available globally across all Gemini-supported languages. Select Canvas in the prompt bar to start creating! Why: Canvas lets you experience the power of collaboration with Gemini because you can see your ideas and iterations take shape in real time. Go from blank slate to a share-worthy creation in minutes. This means you can focus on your vision to create something awesome and leave the heavy lifting of generating, editing, and fixing things to Gemini.

We’ve added URL source blocks for images and PDFs in the Messages API
You can now reference images and PDFs directly through a URL instead of having to base64-encode them. Learn more in Vision and PDF support. We’ve added support for a none option to the tool_choice parameter in the Messages API that prevents Claude from calling any tools. We’ve launched an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint, allowing you to test Claude models by changing just your API key, base URL, and model name in existing OpenAI integrations.

We’ve launched Claude Sonnet 3.7, our most intelligent model yet
Claude Sonnet 3.7 can produce near-instant responses or show its extended thinking step-by-step. One model, two ways to think. Learn more about all Claude models in Models overview. We’ve added vision support to Claude Haiku 3.5, enabling the model to analyze and understand images. We’ve released a token-efficient tool use implementation, improving overall performance when using tools with Claude. We’ve changed the default temperature in the Console for new prompts from 0 to 1 for consistency with the default temperature in the API. We’ve released updated versions of our tools that decouple the text edit and bash tools from the computer use system prompt: * bash_20250124: Same functionality as previous version but is independent from computer use.

Priority access with Gemini Advanced: Ask Gemini to look back at past chats for more tailored help
What: Starting today, Gemini can now use your past chats to give you more helpful responses. Ask a question about something you've discussed, or have Gemini summarize a previous conversation. It will use the information from relevant chats to craft its response. This means no more starting over, and you can build on top of previous conversations or projects you already started. You’re in control: easily review, delete, or decide how long to keep your chat history. You can also turn off Gemini Apps Activity altogether by going to My Activity. Gemini may indicate when it uses your past chats in Sources and related content. This experience is starting to roll out in English for Gemini Advanced subscribers via Google One AI Premium Plan. Why: Conversations change, ideas evolve, and sometimes we need to revisit what’s been said. Think of Gemini as your personal AI assistant, always there to pick up where you left off. It becomes your thought partner, evolving alongside you to unlock new levels of helpfulness, that’s unique to you.

Try our 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental models, plus 1 more change
What: Starting today, Gemini app users have access to our 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental model. Built on the speed and performance of 2.0 Flash, this model is trained to break down prompts into a series of steps to strengthen its reasoning capabilities and deliver better responses. 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental shows its thought process to users so you can see why it responded in a certain way, what its assumptions were, and trace the model's line of reasoning. Users can also try 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental with apps, our thinking model designed to give you access to agentic capabilities through the use of connected apps such as YouTube, Maps, and Search for complex multi-step questions. These connected apps already make the Gemini app a uniquely helpful AI-powered assistant, and we’re exploring how new reasoning capabilities can combine with your apps to help you do even more. Both 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental models are now rolling out to the Gemini web and mobile app. We’ll expand access to enterprise accounts in the coming weeks These experimental models are meant to be an early preview and may make mistakes. Additionally these models won't be compatible with some Gemini features in their experimental state. Why: We believe in rapid iteration and bringing the best of Gemini to the world. Your feedback helps us improve these models over time and learning from experimental launches informs how we release models more widely.
