Google has introduced Gemini 2.5, an advanced artificial intelligence model featuring enhanced reasoning control capabilities and a massive one million token context window. The update, branded as Gemini 2.5 Flash and Ultra Pro Max Experimental, improves coding assistance, multimodal understanding, and STEM problem-solving. Google plans to integrate Gemini into a variety of everyday devices throughout 2025, including Android Auto and Wear OS smartwatches, replacing the discontinued Assistant Driving Mode. The Gemini API now supports configurable reasoning levels—low, medium, high, and none—allowing developers to easily switch to Gemini 2.5 Flash with minimal code changes. Meanwhile, the AI sector has seen multiple releases recently, including Baidu's ERNIE X1 Turbo, OpenAI's o3 and o4-mini models, and Llama 4 Scout/Maverik. Separately, Elon Musk's xAI venture is reportedly raising approximately $20 billion to fund the Colossus 2 supercomputer, which aims to scale up to one million NVIDIA GPUs with an estimated cost between $35 billion and $40 billion. This funding round values xAI at around $120 billion.
