Google quietly rolls out Gemini 2.5 Pro to free users amid ChatGPT’s viral Ghibli moment

Google has just released its latest voice model, Gemini 2.5 Pro, for free users. The new model, which is still in an ‘experimental’ phase, can be selected from the drop-down menu on the Gemini website, while support for the iOS and Android mobile apps is expected soon. Google had announced the Gemini 2.5 Pro model earlier this week for advanced Gemini users, but with ChatGPT hogging all the limelight with its native image generation feature that powers the viral Ghibli image trend, the tech giant has decided to give the update to free users as well.
