New Google Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite is WILD (FREE!) 🤯
AI Summary
The video announces and reviews Google’s new AI model Gemini 2.5 Flashlight, described as the fastest and cheapest 2.5 model yet. The presenter, Julian Goldie’s digital avatar, tests the AI for hours across coding, gaming, content creation, and real-world applications. Key findings include Gemini 2.5 Flashlight outperforming more expensive AI models like Gemini 2.5 Pro in speed and many coding tasks, delivering usable and sometimes superior results at a fraction of the cost (less than two cents for extensive usage). The model features two modes: thinking mode for higher quality results at higher cost/time, and non-thinking mode for very fast answers that still outperform older versions. Tests showed the model could build games like Space Invaders, Sonic, and Flappy Bird, as well as functional landing pages, and perform content creation and data analysis efficiently. While not perfect for complex design or reasoning, it is positioned as a powerful, cost-effective tool for everyday AI tasks. Currently free to use via Google’s AI Studio, the video encourages viewers to try it while free and highlights practical business uses and integration tips. The model supports a large context window, multimodal input, dynamic compute scaling, and real-time code execution, making it a versatile all-purpose AI assistant that can significantly reduce costs compared to other premium models.
