After revealing Gemini 2.5 Deep Think at the I/O conference back in May, Google is making this AI available in the Gemini app. Deep Think is designed for the most complex queries, which means it uses more compute resources than other models. So it should come as no surprise that only those subscribing to Google's $250 AI Ultra plan will be able to access it. Deep Think is based on the same found

Horrifyingly Huge New Stick Insect Discovered Exactly Where You Think

Australia is famous for hosting the weirdest creatures we’ve ever seen. Sometimes, these weird creatures also come extra-large—like the newly discovered stick insect that researchers believe may be the heaviest of all Aussie insects. The insect, named Acrohylla alta, is about 15 inches (40 centimeters) long—about the height of a bowling pin—and weighs around 0.1 pounds (44 grams), slightly lighter than the heaviest golf ball.
