Gemini 2.5 Flash is Here👀
Google launches preview of Gemini 2.5 Flash, its first hybrid AI model
The new Gemini 2.5 Flash, unveiled at last week's Cloud Next event, is now available in preview via the Gemini API on Google AI Studio and Vertex AI. This is Google’s first hybrid model, meaning you can turn reasoning on or off depending on your needs.
Gemini 2.5 Flash improves on Gemini 2.0 Flash with stronger reasoning capabilities
Offers flexible pricing based on whether reasoning is enabled
Available to both developers and users for code and doc optimization in Canvas
Gemini 2.5 Flash gives users more control over cost vs. quality, making it easier to balance performance with budget. Despite its low cost, it holds up well against strong competitors like Anthropic and Grok, and while OpenAI’s o4-mini performs better, it comes at a much higher price.

AI Movie Weekend
The Social Dilemma is a documentary-drama that talks about how social media apps like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube are designed to grab your attention and keep you hooked.
It shows how these platforms collect data about you, use algorithms to show content that keeps you scrolling, and how that can affect your mental health, relationships, and even society (like spreading fake news).

OpenAI API is 50% Cheaper
OpenAI launches a cheaper API option called "Flex Processing" to stay competitive
OpenAI has introduced a new feature called Flex Processing for its AI model APIs, aiming to cut costs while competing with rivals like Google.
Flex Processing is currently available for OpenAI’s o3 and o4-mini models.
It’s designed for low-priority or non-production tasks like data enrichment or model evaluation.
API costs drop by 50%, making advanced AI more accessible for developers.
As the cost of using powerful AI models continues to rise, Flex Processing helps OpenAI stay relevant by offering budget-friendly options. This also pressures competitors like Google, who recently released their own efficient model, Gemini 2.5 Flash.
