Google has launched Gemini 2.5 Deep Think

Google has launched Gemini 2.5 Deep Think, a reasoning-focused AI model that explores multiple ideas in parallel before answering. It’s now live for AI Ultra subscribers in the Gemini app and web, with extended access planned for researchers and academics.

Key Points:

• Parallel Reasoning: Deep Think uses multiple internal agents to test several ideas at once, refining answers through extended inference time for more thoughtful results.

• Advanced Performance: It reached bronze-level performance on the International Mathematical Olympiad benchmark, with a gold‑medal version available to select academic testers. It also outperforms Grok 4 and OpenAI o3 on key reasoning and coding benchmarks.

• Integrated Tools: The model can handle longer responses, perform code execution, and use Google search for more accurate outputs.

• Availability and Limits: Currently exclusive to AI Ultra subscribers (~$249.99/month) with daily Deep Think prompt limits. A faster public version is available, while the gold-level model remains in limited testing.

• Security and Oversight: Higher compute costs and stricter content refusals are in place. Actions and outputs are monitored to ensure safe use and prevent misuse.

Early users highlight that Deep Think is valuable for complex coding, math problem solving, and multi-step reasoning, though its slower speed and prompt limits may be challenging for heavy workflows.

Amazon wants to put ads in your Alexa+ conversations

Amazon is planning to add advertisements to Alexa+ conversations, turning its voice assistant into a potential revenue stream as users engage in multi-turn chats.

Details:

• Ads could appear during voice interactions, promoting products or services relevant to the conversation.

• Alexa+ is currently free for Prime members or $20/month for non-members, and Amazon may add a tiered option for ad-free use.

• The move is part of Amazon’s AI monetization strategy, aimed at offsetting the high cost of generative AI development.

• Critics worry that ads in natural conversations could hurt user trust and make Alexa feel intrusive.

• Privacy experts also raise concerns about data use and targeting, since conversational ads may rely on what users say to the device.

Amazon hasn’t shared an exact rollout date, but this shift could make Alexa+ feel more like a shopping companion than a neutral assistant.
