- The May 2025 preview was offered through the Gemini API in Google AI Studio and Vertex AI. Google’s API catalog, checked October 9, 2026, lists gemini-2.5-pro but restricts 2.5 model access to users who actively used them in the past. It says the models are not deprecated and directs new projects to current recommended models. Confirm the exact endpoint and account access before relying on the launch-era offer.

Kingy AI Take
Important for tracking the AI coding race because this update targeted web app generation directly.
Who it is for
Developers, designers, founders, and teams using Gemini for app generation, UI coding, code editing, and agentic workflows.
What feels promising
The release targeted web-app generation directly, making it relevant to founders, designers, and developers comparing AI coding models by product output rather than benchmarks alone.
What feels unproven
This record describes the May 2025 Preview release. The current API catalog’s 2.5 access restriction applies to previous active users; a historical preview announcement does not establish current access to that preview ID. Verify your account’s available endpoint, current pricing and limits before shipping.
Traction notes
A notable coding update released early because of high developer interest in Gemini 2.5 Pro.
