Google Introduces Deep Think AI Model to Boost Creative Problem-Solving
Google DeepMind, the AI research division of Alphabet Inc., has launched Gemini 2.5 Deep Think—a new AI model focused on creative problem-solving. This model can analyze multiple ideas at once and select the best solution, making it a valuable tool for tackling complex challenges.
Deep Think is now available on the Gemini app for Google AI Ultra subscribers at $250 per month. Its main advantage lies in extending the "thinking time" of the original Gemini model, allowing it to explore different problem angles simultaneously, much like a human would.
How Deep Think Works
Instead of rushing to a conclusion, Deep Think generates several variations of a solution and weighs them against each other before deciding. This approach mimics human brainstorming and iterative reasoning. The team behind Deep Think also introduced new reinforcement learning techniques that encourage the model to carefully analyze problems, resulting in more intuitive and creative outcomes.
Practical Uses for Creatives
Deep Think is ideal for iterative development and design projects. Whether you’re working on a creative campaign, web development, or complex coding tasks, this AI can assist in refining both aesthetics and functionality. It’s also well-suited for research, mathematical analysis, and scientific inquiry, offering strong support for tasks that require building solutions step-by-step.
- Creative project brainstorming
- Web design and development improvements
- Complex coding challenges
- Scientific and mathematical research assistance
Performance Highlights
The earlier version of Deep Think earned a gold medal at this year’s International Mathematical Olympiad, although it required hours to solve problems. The current version balances performance and speed, providing what Google calls “Bronze-level” performance that’s practical for everyday creative work.
Deep Think has also outperformed other models in various benchmarking tests like LiveCodeBench V6—which focuses on coding—and Humanity’s Last Exam, which covers a broad range of knowledge including science and math.
Using Deep Think in the Gemini App
If you’re a Gemini app user with Deep Think access, you can activate the model by selecting “2.5 Pro” in the dropdown menu and toggling it on in the prompt bar. It integrates smoothly with tools such as code execution and Google Search, allowing for longer, more detailed responses.
Google plans to expand access by releasing Deep Think through the Gemini API to trusted testers soon, both with and without integrated tools.
