Google has just released a major update to its flagship AI model, Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview (I/O Edition), and it’s already making waves among developers and entrepreneurs. This new version, launched two weeks ahead of the big Google I/O 2025 conference, is designed to help anyone—from solo founders to startup teams—build better products faster and more easily.
One of the biggest improvements in Gemini 2.5 Pro is its ability to help with coding. The model can now edit and transform code snippets, making it easier to fix bugs or add new features. It can also help create complex workflows, which means entrepreneurs can automate more tasks and focus on growing their business. Google says that with just a single prompt, users can build apps, games, or even simulations—no advanced coding skills required.
The update also brings a big leap in understanding images and videos. For example, Gemini 2.5 Pro can generate custom animations from a single image, and these animations can include sound or interactive controls. This opens up new possibilities for entrepreneurs who want to create engaging digital products, like interactive websites or educational tools, without needing a big design or development team.

According to Google, Gemini 2.5 Pro now outperforms other leading AI models like Claude 3.7 Sonnet, GPT-4.1, and DeepSeek V3 in the WebDev Arena, a benchmark where AIs solve real-time web development challenges. It also scored 84.8% on the Video-MME test, showing its strong ability to understand and work with video content.
Power to creators
For entrepreneurs, these technical improvements mean less time spent on repetitive coding tasks and more time to focus on their ideas. Gemini 2.5 Pro can be integrated directly into development environments, helping founders quickly generate new features that match their product’s style and needs. Google highlights that the model has a natural sense for creating visually appealing web apps, making it easier to turn a concept into a working product.
The new Gemini 2.5 Pro is available now through Google AI Studio and Vertex AI, at the same price as the previous version. Google decided to release it early so developers and entrepreneurs could start using its new features before the I/O 2025 conference, which will take place on May 21 and be streamed online.
With this update, Google is making it clear that AI can be a powerful ally for anyone looking to build and launch new products. Whether you’re a solo entrepreneur or part of a growing team, Gemini 2.5 Pro offers tools that can help turn your ideas into reality—faster and with less hassle than ever before.
