The world is boring, but AI is okay

Long before Google I/O, Google had already released a new version of 2.5 Pro. In fact, it was not just the large model that was leaked. In fact, DeepResearch also leaked it in advance today.

Google DeepResearch, instead of improving the autonomous capabilities of its search agent, is just carving flowers on shit, piling up a lot of stuff and calling it boring stuff.

First I was like, WTF ? Then I
don't know when, my AI became impotent.
I can't get hard on AI, so I don't update much.
I suspect that Dacongming is also blessed, otherwise why would he open a bar?

Deep research -> Word report -> Generate web code application -> Share web link.

The big models are running fast in the process of generating and converting waste.
AI manufacturers seem to have entered a Shura field. If they don’t make progress, they will always fail.

But this update is a big improvement

1. DeepResearch is smarter and will actively adjust the direction during the search process.
2. DeepResearch has begun to support DeepResearch of local files, which shows that Google is more aware of the value of accurate up and down search, and it is not just a pile of garbage that is difficult to evaluate the quality of the search engine.

Of course, such a large document is still a bit difficult for him, so I uploaded my Dream of Red Mansions and Water Margin test document.

Why did Song Jiang beat Lin Daiyu violently?

It seems that the ideas are clear, but in reality it is just a question and answer session of almost the same length as the context.

Deep-Think - Gemini 2.5 Pro

Everyone praises the magic of Gemini 2.5, especially programming, but I don't think it's that good.
1. The instructions are not followed well, and it's easy to get lost when used with many programming tools.

2. Hallucination is more like thinking. Thinking is like giving a big model the wings of imagination, which will always lead to innovation in a direction you never expected.

3. He is good at writing comments for your code. You don’t know why he writes so many comments, but he just doesn’t listen to my explanation.

This time, a more capable Deep Think was released. The test results of the new test set improved by nearly 60%. However, if you look at other code tests, the improvement is not obvious.

Of course, there may be more excellent performance in Agent calls, MCP calls, etc.

Price increase Flash 2.5

The price of Flash 2.5 has increased, probably because the usage rate has increased recently and they are starting to have more confidence. Although the price has increased, it is still cheaper than that of competitors.

Price increase packages

Project Mariner has been added to the Ultra package. For only $299, or 1,800 RMB per month, you can be a guinea pig for Project Mariner in advance. Are you touched?

Good news, it’s only $149 for the first three months.

Google should have given up on treatment

The world's largest crawler is Google, and
no AI in the world can crawl better than Google.

Google has given up and has started to directly provide URL Content, which means that Google has officially begun to bid farewell to the past.

There are a lot of updates, so I won’t bother to go into detail.
