Last yesterday evening, Google announced that its latest Gemini 2.5 Pro model is now available to all users. The latest version of Gemini is available in an experimental state, and you can try it for yourself by going to Gemini.Google.com. For now, this model is only available via the web, although Google says it’s working on bringing it to the mobile app as quickly as possible.

Before trying it out, be warned that free users are subject to much tighter usage limits. Depending on your query, you can run out of allocated searches in only a few questions (for example, if you ask it to compare the cost of living of European Union nations.) For the best experience, Google recommends subscribing to Gemini Advanced.

Gemini 2.5 Pro is taking off 🚀🚀🚀

The team is sprinting, TPUs are running hot, and we want to get our most intelligent model into more people’s hands asap.

Which is why we decided to roll out Gemini 2.5 Pro (experimental) to all Gemini users, beginning today.

Gemini 2.5 Pro is the most advanced version of the Gemini models to date with a particular emphasis on coding, math, and science capabilities. As with previous Pro models, Gemini 2.5 Pro will “show” its thoughts and reasoning as it works through your queries.

Per Google’s blog post, “With Gemini 2.5, we’ve achieved a new level of performance by combining a significantly enhanced base model with improved post-training. Going forward, we’re building these thinking capabilities directly into all of our models, so they can handle more complex problems and support even more capable, context-aware agents.”

Gemini 2.5 Pro beats the competition in most areas by a significant margin, particularly in terms of code editing. Based on the Aider Polyglot test, Gemini scored 74% compared to the next-highest score of 64.9% from Claude 3.7, and it’s long-context understanding far outstripped OpenAI’s models.

Google says it will add pricing in the coming weeks for users that want to use Gemini 2.5 Pro on a more enterprise level and require higher rate limits.

If you want to try out Gemini Advanced, you can sign up for a one-month free trial to test it out before committing to the monthly subscription cost.

AI triggered a RAMmageddon so bad that Apple looks like the sensible choice
Laptop prices got so stupid in 2026, that Apple turned into the value king.

I really didn't want to believe it, but here we are. Apple is now looking like the sensible laptop brand. Not the cool underdog. Not the affordable alternative. Apple, in 2026. The reason is not that the company suddenly became generous, but rather the rest of the competition has suddenly become so deranged that a MacBook lineup starting at $599 feels weirdly grounded.

Apple's MacBook Neo starts at $599, while Microsoft's own 13-inch Surface Laptop now starts at $1,199 after this month's price hikes. This isn't a small gap that you can ignore. Meanwhile, Apple's MacBook Air with M5 starts at $1,099 with 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage, which looks like one of the few premium laptops still priced by human beings.

AI mode in Chrome gets a big upgrade to save you some tab hopping
Chrome just made tab hopping a thing of the past with its upgraded AI Mode, and it's genuinely useful.

If you have ever gone down a rabbit hole while searching for something online, you know the drill. You open one tab, follow a link, open another, and another, and suddenly you have 14 tabs open and zero answers.

It was one of the reasons that forced me to switch to Arc Browser, which offered easier-to-manage vertical tabs, which, incidentally, Google Chrome also added a week back. But Google is not stopping there, and is adding a meaningful upgrade to AI Mode in Chrome to fix this issue.

This beanie turns your thoughts into text, and it’s the least obnoxious wearable I’ve seen in years
You could soon type messages just by thinking
Thought-reading beanie

A new wearable device that looks like a simple beanie could soon change how people interact with computers. Developed by Silicon Valley startup Sabi, the prototype uses brain-computer interface (BCI) technology to convert a user’s internal speech into text, effectively allowing them to “type” using their thoughts.

According to a report by WIRED, the device is designed to be one of the least intrusive brain-tech wearables yet, avoiding the bulky, futuristic look of many experimental headsets. Instead, it blends into everyday clothing, making it more practical for daily use.
