Summary: Google has finally released Gemini 2.5 Flash for developers. Because of this, they can customize several aspects of the model to suit their own needs.
OpenAI isn’t the only company out there releasing new AI models. Meta just announced its new Llama 4 models, and Google has been introducing us to some new models. We’re officially in the Gemini 2.5 era, and this means that we’re about to see some extremely powerful AI tools coming from the company.
Customers have been able to use Gemini 2.5 Flash for some time. In fact, if you’re a student, then you can access it through a free Gemini Advance plan. Well, it’s now time for developers to have fun.
Google releases Gemini 2.5 Flash for developers
There are a handful of models available for free users. These are Gemini 2.0 Flash and the experimental versions of 2.5 Flash and 2.5 Pro. However, if you want to use the most stable version of Gemini 2.5 Flash, then you’ll need a Gemini Advance subscription. It’s the most capable model that Google offers to the public.
Users using Gemini 2.5 Flash straight from Google are restricted to Google’s own settings. However, if you’re a developer, then you’ll be able to use the model and make some changes to certain aspects. This way, you can tailor the experience to your liking.
Gemini 2.5 Flash is a powerful reasoning model, and this means that it has to “think” to come up with its responses. However, if you want to use the model in your own applications, but you don’t want it to think, then you can disable it. You can also set “thinking budgets” if you don’t want to get rid of thinking altogether. The thinking budget will set how many thinking tokens the model will use.
Optimizing the thinking budget can help you land at an optimal cost for using the model. Speaking of cost, Gemini 2.5 Flash has an input cost of $0.15/million tokens and an output cost of $0.60/million tokens. Reasoning costs $3.50. This is 50% more expensive than Gemini 2.0 Flash ($0.10/million tokens and $0.40/million tokens).
