Google's New AI Gemini 2.5 Now Takes Coffee Breaks Between Thoughts

In a groundbreaking announcement that has left the tech world both amazed and slightly concerned, Google unveiled Gemini 2.5, their latest AI reasoning model that actually pauses to "think" before answering. That's right, folks. The AI now has the cognitive workload of a college student during finals week.

"We wanted to create an AI that reflects the human experience," said a Google spokesperson, while nervously sipping their third espresso of the hour. "And what's more human than needing a moment to gather your thoughts before responding to a simple question like 'What's the weather today?'"

The new family of models, kicked off by Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental, is being hailed as Google's "most intelligent model yet", mainly because it's the first one to pretend to ponder existential questions before telling you how to make a grilled cheese sandwich.

Features of Gemini 2.5 include:

• Multimodal reasoning (it can both see your terrible memes and judge them silently)
• Enhanced memory (remembers that you asked it the same question five times but chooses to ignore it)
• Experimental procrastination module (will get back to you on that... eventually)

Early testers have reported mixed feelings. "I asked it for the time, and it started philosophizing about the nature of time itself," said one beta user. "I just wanted to know if I was late for my meeting."

Meanwhile, competitors are scrambling to keep up. Rumor has it that OpenAI is working on an AI that not only thinks before answering but also sighs dramatically for added realism.

As for the rest of us, we can only wait and see what happens when Gemini 2.5 finally realizes that most of our questions don't actually require deep thought. Until then, enjoy the most relatable AI to date—one that understands the struggle of thinking under pressure.
