Google has broadened access to its advanced AI model, Gemini 2.5 Pro, showcasing impressive capabilities and competitive pricing designed to challenge rival models like OpenAI's GPT-4o and Anthropic's Claude 3.7 Sonnet. Google's latest flagship model is currently recognized as a top performer, excelling in Optical Character Recognition (OCR), audio transcription, and long-context coding tasks. Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai highlighted Gemini 2.5 Pro as Google's "most intelligent model + now our most in demand." Demand has increased by over 80 percent this month alone across both Google AI Studio and the Gemini API.
Google's expansion includes a tiered pricing structure for the Gemini 2.5 Pro API, offering a more affordable option compared to competitors. Prompts with less than 200,000 tokens are priced at $1.25 per million for input and $10 per million for output, while larger prompts increase to $2.50 and $15 per million tokens, respectively. Although prompt caching is not yet available, its future implementation could potentially lower costs further. The free tier allows 500 free grounding queries with Google Search per day, with an additional 1,500 free queries in the paid tier, with costs per 1,000 queries set at $35 beyond that.
The AI research group EpochAI reported that Gemini 2.5 Pro scored 84% on the GPQA Diamond benchmark, surpassing the typical 70% score of human experts. This benchmark assesses challenging multiple-choice questions in biology, chemistry, and physics, validating Google's benchmark results. The model is now available as a paid model, along with a free tier option. The free tier can use data to improve Google's products while the paid tier cannot. Rates vary by tier and range from 150-2,000/minute. Google will retire the Gemini 2.0 Pro preview entirely in favor of 2.5.

OpenAI has announced the release of GPT-4.5, its latest language model which they are calling their 'last non-chain-of-thought model.' According to OpenAI, GPT-4.5 offers substantial enhancements over its predecessors, particularly in advanced reasoning, problem-solving, and contextual understanding. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, described it as the "first model that feels like talking to a thoughtful person," noting moments of astonishment at the quality of advice received from the AI.
However, the rollout is facing challenges due to GPU shortages. Altman stated they are "out of GPUs," leading to a staggered release, initially limited to ChatGPT Pro subscribers who pay $200 a month. While GPT-4.5 is available to developers across all paid API tiers, OpenAI plans to expand access to Plus and Team tiers next week, with tens of thousands of GPUs expected to arrive to alleviate the supply constraints. Despite not being a reasoning model, OpenAI estimates that GPT-4.5 is 30 times more expensive to run than GPT-4o.

DeepSeek AI's R1 model, a reasoning model praised for its detailed thought process, is now available on platforms like AWS and NVIDIA NIM. This increased accessibility allows users to build and scale generative AI applications with minimal infrastructure investment. Benchmarks have also revealed surprising performance metrics, with AMD’s Radeon RX 7900 XTX outperforming the RTX 4090 in certain DeepSeek benchmarks. The rise of DeepSeek has put the spotlight on reasoning models, which break questions down into individual steps, much like humans do.
Concerns surrounding DeepSeek have also emerged. The U.S. government is investigating whether DeepSeek smuggled restricted NVIDIA GPUs via Singapore to bypass export restrictions. A NewsGuard audit found that DeepSeek’s chatbot often advances Chinese government positions in response to prompts about Chinese, Russian, and Iranian false claims. Furthermore, security researchers discovered a "completely open" DeepSeek database that exposed user data and chat histories, raising privacy concerns. These issues have led to proposed legislation, such as the "No DeepSeek on Government Devices Act," reflecting growing worries about data security and potential misuse of the AI model.
