NEWS FOR THE WEEK

Google quietly rolls out Gemini 2.5 Pro to free users amid ChatGPT’s viral Ghibli moment

Google has quietly rolled out its Gemini 2.5 Pro AI model to free users, after initially offering it to advanced users. This move comes amidst OpenAI’s viral success with ChatGPT’s Ghibli-style image generation trend. Gemini 2.5 Pro focuses on reasoning and coding capabilities, featuring an industry-leading 1 million token context window (about 750,000 words) — the largest compared to competitors like OpenAI’s o3 Mini and Anthropic’s Claude. It performs well in coding, math, and science benchmarks and can handle complex, context-aware tasks. The release is part of the ongoing AI race, with big tech firms shifting from pre-trained models to reasoning models, following competitive pressure from players like China’s DeepSeek, which disrupted the market with powerful, low-cost AI models.

Why it matters and how can we adapt to this change:

• Advanced Access: Gemini 2.5 Pro is now available for free, giving developers, students, and businesses access to cutting-edge AI technology.

• Competitive Edge: Google’s release challenges OpenAI and DeepSeek, intensifying the global AI innovation race.

• Reasoning Power: Shifts focus from pre-trained models to reasoning models that mimic human-like problem-solving.

• Expanded Capacity: Features a massive 1 million token context window, enabling complex, multi-step tasks and large document analysis.

• Global Disruption: Reflects growing pressure from international AI players like DeepSeek, reshaping the global AI market.

Elon Musk's Insane $113B AI Merger

Elon Musk’s AI company xAI has officially acquired X Corp (formerly Twitter) in an all-stock deal worth $113 billion, valuing xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion (including $12B in debt). The merger brings together xAI’s advanced AI technology and X’s 600 million+ active users, aiming to integrate data, models, and compute power under a new Texas-based holding company.

This strategic move is expected to strengthen xAI’s chatbot Grok, leveraging real-time social media data to advance AI capabilities and reshape the social media landscape. While promising smarter, AI-driven experiences for users, the deal also raises concerns about data privacy, content moderation, and the growing influence of AI in everyday communication. READ MORE
