✅ Enhanced Personalization and Temporary Chat Features
Google introduced new personalization settings that let Gemini learn from past interactions to tailor responses better, all while putting privacy front and centre. A standout is the Temporary Chat feature, where conversations aren’t saved, giving you control over what the system remembers. For marketers and content creators, it means AI can adapt over time to your style without hoarding data you’d rather keep private. Developers gain flexible user contexts without compromising data security.

✅ Gemini 2.5 Pro API Improvements and Adaptive Thinking
The latest API update brings Gemini 2.5 Pro with what Google calls “adaptive thinking”, essentially smarter, more context-aware understanding that moves past scripted replies. Added tools like multi-tool use let you combine code execution and web search in a single request, which is gold for analysts or developers juggling data pulls and coding simultaneously. Also, asynchronous function calls now speed up workflows in live environments, making it more nimble when you need fresh results fast.

✅ Expanded Access and Tiered Model Usage in Gemini App
The Gemini app lets you tap into “general access” for the 2.5 Flash model by default, with Pro users unlocking up to 100 queries a day on the 2.5 Pro model, great for those heavy users generating campaign briefs or syncing inventory with Shopify. Google AI Ultra subscribers get the highest access with Deep Think mode offering advanced reasoning prompts, now doubled to about 10 daily. That’s a real boost if you’re doing intense research or complex problem solving on the fly.

✅ Deep Research Powered by Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking
Deep Research just got a hefty upgrade using the new 2.0 Flash Thinking (experimental) model. This means Gemini now tackles multi-page reports and complex topics faster and with sharper insight, ideal for analysts, academic researchers, or anyone needing to auto-summarise call transcripts or sift through heaps of data. Plus, it’s now free for most Gemini users, which lowers the barrier to smarter research.
