Gemini 2.5 Deep Think – Google’s AI Reasoning Model

What is Gemini 2.5 Deep Think？

Gemini 2.5 Deep Think is an AI model developed by Google, designed specifically for tackling complex tasks. It is a variant of the model that won a gold medal at the 2025 International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). Leveraging Parallel Thinking and reinforcement learning, the model explores multiple solution paths simultaneously, cross-validates and optimizes them, and ultimately arrives at the best answer. Deep Think excels in solving intricate mathematical problems, algorithm design, scientific reasoning, and creative development.

Deep Think has shown outstanding results across various benchmark tests. For instance, it achieved a top score of 34.8% in the HLE test, nearly a perfect score in AIME 2025, and an impressive 87.6% on LiveCodeBench V6. It can generate more detailed and creative outputs, especially for complex tasks. Deep Think is exclusively available to Google AI Ultra subscribers at a monthly fee of $249.99, with a fixed daily usage quota.

Key Features of Gemini 2.5 Deep Think

• Parallel Thinking: Deep Think uses parallel thinking to generate and evaluate multiple ideas simultaneously. It explores multiple solutions in parallel, cross-checks and optimizes them—similar to how humans think from different angles to solve a complex problem.

• Reinforcement Learning: With new reinforcement learning techniques, Deep Think continuously improves its reasoning pathways over time, making it increasingly effective at solving complex problems.

• Mathematics & Algorithms: The model demonstrates exceptional capabilities in math and algorithm design. It earned a gold medal at the 2025 IMO and scored near-perfect in the AIME 2025 competition.

• Scientific Reasoning: Deep Think assists researchers in formulating and validating mathematical conjectures, analyzing complex scientific literature, and accelerating scientific discovery.

• Iterative Development: It excels in tasks requiring step-by-step construction of complex systems. In areas like web design, game environment modeling, and product prototyping, it enhances both aesthetics and functionality.

• Voxel Art: For creative design tasks like voxel art, Deep Think produces richer, more detailed outputs, with significant improvements in visual fidelity compared to other Gemini models.

• Advanced Programming Challenges: Deep Think handles programming problems involving precise problem statements, trade-offs, and time complexity considerations. It helps programmers decompose challenges and model algorithms toward optimal solutions.

• Code Optimization: Scoring 87.6% on LiveCodeBench V6, the model demonstrates strong capabilities in code optimization and algorithm design.

• Content Safety & Objectivity: Compared to Gemini 2.5 Pro, Deep Think offers improved handling of sensitive and complex topics, with stronger content safety and objectivity.

• Request Refusal for Benign Prompts: Deep Think is more conservative in refusing benign prompts, enhancing its rigor and safety when dealing with high-stakes tasks.

Technical Foundations of Gemini 2.5 Deep Think

• Multithreaded Reasoning: Deep Think can generate and consider multiple solution paths at once, revising and integrating them over time to reach optimal conclusions.

• Extended Thinking Time: By allocating more time for reasoning, the model has a greater chance to explore diverse hypotheses and arrive at more creative solutions.

• Optimized Reasoning Pathways: With reinforcement learning, Deep Think continually refines its internal pathways to become a more intuitive and efficient problem solver.

• Dynamic Adjustment: Users can configure the “thinking budget” to balance between performance and cost.

• Sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) Architecture:
  Deep Think is built on a sparse MoE framework, allowing only a subset of model parameters (experts) to be activated per input token. Features include:

  • Dynamic Routing: The model learns to route tokens dynamically to expert subsets, decoupling model capacity from per-token compute cost.

  • Efficient Computation: This architecture enables the model to process large-scale inputs efficiently while maintaining high performance.
