Google recently announced that its latest AI feature Deep Think
has been formally submitted to the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women Google AI Ultra
Subscribers are open. The move signals that Google is exploring a different development path - "deep thinking" - than the current mainstream speed-seeking AI models. Meanwhile, a more powerful Gemini 2.5 Deep Think
The full version has also been made available to selected mathematicians for academic research.
This launch to the public Deep Think
version, an improved version based on feedback from early testers and research breakthroughs. It is different from that model that achieved gold standard in this year's International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) competition. Whereas the competition model takes hours to solve complex math problems, the public version ramps up reasoning dramatically while maintaining daily usability, and its performance still achieves bronze medal levels on the internally evaluated 2025 IMO benchmark.
What is "slow thinking"?
The current AI field is generally looking for faster response times, and the Deep Think
The core mechanism of the program does the opposite: it introduces the concept of "extended thinking time".
Deep Think
Parallel thinking techniques are used. When faced with a complex problem, the model generates multiple ideas and solution paths simultaneously, and evaluates, revises, and even combines these paths to ultimately select an optimal answer. This process mimics the way humans think when solving a problem: taking the time to explore different perspectives, weighing various potential options, and ultimately forming a well-thought-out conclusion.
In order for the model to effectively utilize the extended inference time, Google has also developed new reinforcement learning techniques that motivate the model to explore more complex inference paths. This allows Deep Think
The ability to become a more adept problem solver over time.

What are the benefits of Deep Think?
Extended thinking time allows Deep Think
Excels at handling tasks that require creativity, strategic planning and incremental improvements.
- Iterative development and design: In tasks that require incremental construction of complex things, the
Deep Think
demonstrates powerful capabilities. For example, in web development tasks, it is possible to optimize both the functionality of the code and the aesthetic design of the page. The following figure illustrates how to optimize the functionality of code and the aesthetics of a page from theGemini 2.5 Flash

Differences in detail, complexity and creativity in generating voxel artwork progressively increase. - Science and Math Explorations:
Deep Think
The ability to reason about highly complex problems has the potential to be a powerful tool for researchers. It can help construct and explore mathematical conjectures or analyze complex scientific literature in depth. - Algorithms and Programming: The model is particularly good at solving difficult programming problems. In these problems, it is critical to clearly define the problem, weigh the pros and cons of different options, and consider time complexity.
Its performance is also reflected in several challenging industry benchmarks. Without the use of external tools, theGemini 2.5 Deep Think

(a measure of competition programming ability) and Humanity’s Last Exam
(measuring expertise in areas such as science and math) and other benchmarks have achieved the most current state-of-the-art performance.
Security and trade-offs
As modeling capabilities increase, security becomes more important. google in Deep Think

Improvements in content security and tone objectivity, but also a higher tendency to "reject harmless requests". This reflects a trade-off faced by current frontier models in improving security capabilities.
