Google has officially launched Gemini 2.5 Deep Think, a new variation of its AI model engineered for deeper reasoning and complex problem-solving, which made headlines last month for winning a gold medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) — the first time an AI model achieved the feat.
However, this is unfortunately not the identical gold medal-winning model. It is in fact, a less powerful “bronze” version according to Google’s blog post and Logan Kilpatrick, Product Lead for Google AI Studio.
As Kilpatrick posted on the social network X: “This is a variation of our IMO gold model that is faster and more optimized for daily use. We are also giving the IMO gold full model to a set of mathematicians to test the value of the full capabilities.”
Now available through the Gemini mobile app, this bronze model is accessible to subscribers of Google’s most expensive individual AI plan, AI Ultra, which costs $249.99 per month with a 3-month starting promotion at a reduced rate of $124.99/month for new subscribers.

Google also said in its release blog post that it would bring Deep Think with and without tool usage integrations to “trusted testers” through the Gemini application programming interface (API) “in the coming weeks.”
Why ‘Deep Think’ is so powerful
Gemini 2.5 Deep Think builds on the Gemini family of large language models (LLMs), adding new capabilities aimed at reasoning through sophisticated problems.
It employs “parallel thinking” techniques to explore multiple ideas simultaneously and includes reinforcement learning to strengthen its step-by-step problem-solving ability over time.
