Last yesterday evening, Google announced that its latest Gemini 2.5 Pro model is now available to all users. The latest version of Gemini is available in an experimental state, and you can try it for yourself by going to Gemini.Google.com. For now, this model is only available via the web, although Google says it’s working on bringing it to the mobile app as quickly as possible.

Before trying it out, be warned that free users are subject to much tighter usage limits. Depending on your query, you can run out of allocated searches in only a few questions (for example, if you ask it to compare the cost of living of European Union nations.) For the best experience, Google recommends subscribing to Gemini Advanced.

Gemini 2.5 Pro is taking off 🚀🚀🚀

Gemini 2.5 Pro is the most advanced version of the Gemini models to date with a particular emphasis on coding, math, and science capabilities. As with previous Pro models, Gemini 2.5 Pro will “show” its thoughts and reasoning as it works through your queries.

Per Google’s blog post, “With Gemini 2.5, we’ve achieved a new level of performance by combining a significantly enhanced base model with improved post-training. Going forward, we’re building these thinking capabilities directly into all of our models, so they can handle more complex problems and support even more capable, context-aware agents.”

Gemini 2.5 Pro beats the competition in most areas by a significant margin, particularly in terms of code editing. Based on the Aider Polyglot test, Gemini scored 74% compared to the next-highest score of 64.9% from Claude 3.7, and it’s long-context understanding far outstripped OpenAI’s models.

Google says it will add pricing in the coming weeks for users that want to use Gemini 2.5 Pro on a more enterprise level and require higher rate limits.

If you want to try out Gemini Advanced, you can sign up for a one-month free trial to test it out before committing to the monthly subscription cost.

Apple’s historically high tax for RAM upgrades on Macs has now become absurd
Mac RAM upgrade prices have doubled amid the global memory crunch
MacBook Pro.

Apple’s Mac RAM upgrades were already expensive enough to raise eyebrows. After the company’s latest round of price hikes, some of them now look ridiculous.

Apple recently raised prices across its Mac and iPad lineup, along with other products, citing rising memory and storage costs. The supply crunch is real, but Mac buyers were paying steep premiums for RAM and SSD upgrades long before this jump. Recent MacBook Pro configuration screenshots shared by 9to5Mac show how much worse the upgrade path has become.

Instead of changing your display's color temperature like Night Light, Screen Tint applies a customizable color overlay across the entire screen, making bright displays easier on the eyes during long work or gaming sessions.

A few days ago, Apple announced an ugly mid-cycle price hike, blaming the worsening-by-the-day memory crisis. According to the Financial Times, the company is now lobbying the government for approval to buy memory chips from a Chinese company. 

The company in question is CXMT, a Chinese chipmaker that the Pentagon added to its Chinese Military Company blacklist for alleged ties to the Chinese army.
