Google has officially unveiled Deep Think, the latest advanced AI feature available to Gemini app users subscribed to the Google AI Ultra plan. This powerful model upgrade brings cutting-edge problem-solving capabilities into the hands of everyday users, integrating longer reasoning time, parallel thinking processes, and innovative reinforcement learning approaches.
Smarter Thinking with Extended Inference Time
Much like how humans deliberate complex issues by weighing multiple perspectives and refining ideas, Deep Think enhances Gemini’s ability to process information by extending its “thinking time.” Through this approach, the model can explore various hypotheses simultaneously, allowing for more creative and thoughtful conclusions.
Parallel Thought Processes for Creative Solutions
Deep Think’s architecture enables Gemini to generate and evaluate diverse ideas at once. Rather than following a single thought path, it can combine or revise multiple responses in real-time, producing outcomes that are more nuanced and accurate—especially in problem-solving scenarios that require iterative refinement or strategic planning.
Breakthrough Performance in Math, Science, and Code
This model is a streamlined version of the Gemini variant that earned a gold medal at the 2025 International Mathematical Olympiad. While the gold-standard version is available to select academics and researchers, the version released in the Gemini app still achieves bronze-level scores on internal benchmarks.
In tests such as LiveCodeBench V6 and Humanity’s Last Exam, Deep Think outperformed other models in reasoning, mathematics, and code generation—without relying on external tools. Its strength lies in breaking down long, complex problems and strategically solving them step-by-step.
Powerful Use Cases for Professionals and Researchers
Deep Think shows remarkable promise in multiple domains:
- Design and Development: It excels at building complex structures iteratively, improving both functionality and aesthetics—ideal for web development tasks.
- Scientific Research: The model can assist in exploring advanced scientific literature and formulating mathematical conjectures.
- Algorithm Design and Debugging: Developers will appreciate its ability to tackle intricate coding challenges with smart optimizations and well-reasoned tradeoff analysis.
Responsible AI at Its Core
With great power comes great responsibility—and Google DeepMind is keeping that top of mind. Deep Think demonstrates improved content safety and objectivity in tone compared to its predecessor, Gemini 2.5 Pro. However, it does show a slightly higher refusal rate on benign queries, prompting ongoing safety evaluations and planned mitigations for critical functions.

How to Access Deep Think Today
If you’re a Google AI Ultra subscriber, activating Deep Think is simple. Within the Gemini app, select “2.5 Pro” from the model dropdown and toggle “Deep Think” in the prompt bar. The model works seamlessly with tools like code execution and Google Search, offering significantly longer and more detailed outputs.
As a next step, Google plans to offer Deep Think with and without integrated tools via the Gemini API for a select group of trusted developers and enterprise testers.
The Future of Gemini AI
Deep Think represents a milestone in Google’s journey to create more intelligent, capable AI systems. By making it accessible to more users, Google DeepMind is not only enhancing productivity and discovery but also reinforcing its commitment to safe, responsible development of advanced AI.
