Google has rolled out an early version of Gemini 2.5 Flash in preview. In this context, Google introduced a new “thinking budget” to optimize cost and quality.
The details
- Gemini 2.5 Flash is a hybrid reasoning model that allows developers to turn thinking on and off.
- Additionally, developers can use a “thinking budget” of up to 24k tokens. That allows them to control how many tokens the model uses when generating a response.
- The model includes new features like Canvas, an interactive space for improving your documents and code. According to Google, it also have better reasoning capabilities.

Our thoughts
The new model is powerful and cost-effective. The new “thinking budget” allows users to balance costs and quality for specific use cases.
Additionally, we have noticed that Google’s AI models have much lower hallucination rates than other models. You can check the hallucination rates of SOTA LLMs on the Vectara leaderboard on Hugging Face.
