We want to get the most intelligent models into the hands of as many people as possible as soon as possible. That's why we've decided to offer Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental to all Gemini users starting today. Try it for free.' Google announced that Gemini 2.5 Pro would be available to free users.

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 Experimental is already available to free users on the browser version of Gemini , and it will soon be available on the iOS and Android app versions of Gemini.
However, free users are subject to rate limits .
hey @dylanjturner9 , free users have rate limits on this model, which do not apply to Advanced users. Your sub also gets you a longer context window.

It is unclear whether Google will provide the stable version of Gemini 2.5 Pro for free to all Gemini users in the future.
