Google CEO Sundar Pichai said the company's Gemini AI chatbot app has more than 400 million MAUs ahead of Google I/O 2025.

At yesterday’s I/O conference, Google announced plans to start putting its AI chatbot, Gemini, in a variety of different places, including cars. Today, Volvo said it was shoving its way to the front of the line to be the first to receive the new tech.

Google says the release version of 2.5 Flash is better at reasoning, coding, and multimodality, but it uses 20–30 percent fewer tokens than the preview version. This edition is now live in Vertex AI, AI Studio, and the Gemini app. It will be made the default model in early June.

Gemini, Google's AI-powered chatbot, can now connect to GitHub — for users subscribed to the $20-per-month Gemini Advanced plan, that is.

In addition to touting Gemini 2.5 as a coding tool, Google just released a public beta for Jules, a “coding agent” that can work in the background fixing bugs and writing new features in your codebase.

The company plans to roll out the built-in Gemini access in Chrome this week for those with a Google AI Pro ($19.99 per month) or Google AI Ultra ($249.99/month) subscription. Alt
