The new Gemini artificial intelligence model from Google focuses on efficiency.

Google is about to launch a new artificial intelligence model called Gemini 2.5 Flash, which promises solid performance with a focus on efficiency. This tool will soon be available on Vertex AI, Google's AI development platform. According to the company, it offers "dynamic and controllable" processing, allowing developers to adjust processing time based on the complexity of queries. Google emphasized in a statement that users can adjust speed, accuracy, and cost according to their specific needs, which is crucial for optimizing the performance of Flash in high-volume and cost-sensitive applications.

Gemini 2.5 Flash enters a market where the costs of more advanced AI models continue to rise. More affordable models, like 2.5 Flash, are presented as an attractive alternative to high-end options, albeit at the cost of slightly lower accuracy. This model is classified as a "reasoning" model, similar to OpenAI's o3-mini and DeepSeek's R1, implying that it takes a bit longer to answer questions as it is dedicated to verifying information. According to Google, 2.5 Flash is ideal for "high-volume" and "real-time" applications, such as customer service and information extraction from documents.

Google claims that this model is optimized to offer low latency and reduced cost, highlighting its suitability for responsive virtual assistants and real-time summarization tools where efficiency is crucial. However, the company has not published a security or technical report on Gemini 2.5 Flash, making it difficult to understand its strengths and weaknesses. Previously, Google mentioned that it does not publish reports on models it considers "experimental."

Additionally, Google announced its plans to bring the Gemini models, including 2.5 Flash, to on-premises environments starting in the third quarter. The Gemini models will be available on Google Distributed Cloud (GDC), Google's on-premises solution for clients requiring strict data governance standards. The company is collaborating with Nvidia to bring the Gemini models to Nvidia Blackwell systems compatible with GDC, which customers will be able to acquire through Google or their preferred channels.
