Google has rolled out another update to its flagship AI model, Gemini 2.5 Pro. The latest version brings modest improvements across a range of benchmarks and maintains top positions on tests like LMArena and WebDevArena. According to Google, the new release also handles challenging programming, knowledge, and logic tasks better than before. The model also "can be more creative with better-formatted responses."

Developers can access the updated Gemini 2.5 Pro in preview through Google AI Studio and Vertex AI. Google plans to promote this preview to a stable, generally available version in the coming weeks. The update is also rolling out to the Gemini app starting today.

Meta plans to automate 90% of its internal risk and data protection checks using AI, according to internal documents reported by NPR. The system will assess risks based on questionnaires filled out by product teams, replacing most manual reviews. Meta says human oversight will still be used in complex cases, and only "low risks" will be automated. The company also states that products in the EU will continue to follow a separate review process.

"We are beginning to see [large language models] operating beyond that of human performance for select policy areas."
