Google’s AI expansion from prompts to built-in reasoning

The news: Google’s recently announced Gemini 2.5 Pro AI introduces “thinking models” that are designed to reason through responses, enabling better contextual understanding that’s not completely reliant on a user’s text prompts.

Reasoning capabilities are fast becoming the differentiating feature of the latest generative AI (genAI) models. In Gemini 2.5 Pro’s case, it’s now foundational and integrated into all 2.5 models, reducing hallucinations and improving agent autonomy.

Why it’s worth watching: Unlike earlier AI models that responded to user prompts based on their training data, Gemini 2.5 Pro simulates human logic for problem-solving by weighing different solutions and choosing optimal responses.
