Google continues to strengthen its Gemini artificial intelligence. A new version of its advanced search tool has just been launched. This update promises even more detailed results than those offered by the competition.
Artificial intelligence is an integral part of the digital tools that are increasingly used on a daily basis. To meet this demand, Google has launched Gemini, a home-grown alternative to ChatGPT, which continues to evolve. Since the end of March 2025, its most advanced model, Gemini 2.5 Pro, has been available free of charge to all users. It already includes many powerful features, such as file processing, extensions, and even drawing. With its sharply improved performance, some are even wondering if the paid subscription still has any appeal compared to this free version.
Google has just activated a previously absent feature: Deep Research. This tool allows you to dive into complex topics, consult hundreds of online sources, and produce detailed and structured reports, accompanied by citations. It is an advanced research assistant, capable of thinking step by step to deliver a clear and complete synthesis. Powered by Gemini 2.5 Pro, this functionality remains reserved for Gemini Advanced subscribers, offered at 21.99 euros per month.
Google reserves Deep Research for subscribers despite Gemini 2.5 Pro being free
Thanks to the power of Gemini 2.5 Pro, Deep Research gains in precision, logical reasoning and analysis capacity. It can sort information, cross-reference sources, structure ideas, and even generate long, readable reports, close to what a human could produce. According to Google, reviewers preferred the results of this new model to those of ChatGPT in more than two out of three cases. The tool can even transform a report into an audio podcast, perfect for listening on the go.
This advanced version is available on the web, Android, and iOS, but only for Gemini Advanced subscribers. Free users can still access the Gemini 2.5 Pro model, but without Deep Research, a large pop-up window, or unlimited queries.
On the other hand, a lighter version of Deep Research remains available for free with the Gemini 2.0 Flash model, available in more than 150 countries, including France. It allows everyone to test some of the advanced functions, with lower but already very convincing performance.
