Google Launches 'Deep Think' in Gemini App, Bringing Bronze-Level Math Olympiad AI to Your Pocket

Google is rolling out a powerful new feature for its most advanced AI users—Deep Think, now available to Gemini Advanced (Ultra) subscribers. Integrated directly into the Gemini app, Deep Think offers advanced problem-solving capabilities based on models that have excelled at international-level math competitions.

What Is Deep Think?

Deep Think is Google’s newest AI mode built into the Gemini experience. Unlike earlier iterations of Gemini 2.5, Deep Think is optimized for advanced reasoning and complex task handling. It’s derived from the same AI variant that achieved Bronze-level performance at the 2025 International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO)—a prestigious contest known for its extremely difficult math problems tackled by the world’s brightest students.

However, while the IMO-version model could take hours to solve problems, the Gemini-integrated Deep Think model is fine-tuned for speed and day-to-day usability, making it suitable for a wide range of users beyond mathematicians.

Advanced Reasoning with Parallel Thinking

At the core of Deep Think’s performance is a technique called parallel thinking. Instead of following a single, linear path to reach a solution, the model explores multiple lines of thought simultaneously. This allows it to:

• Compare different approaches

• Shift direction when necessary

• Arrive at nuanced or creative solutions

This makes Deep Think particularly effective for:

• Complex coding problems

• Scientific analysis

• Multistep design workflows

• Deep reading of technical or academic content

Performance Benchmarks and Improvements

In its launch announcement, Google emphasized that Deep Think represents a significant upgrade over what was originally previewed during the Google I/O 2025 demo. The model has since been refined and now delivers Bronze-medal level accuracy on the latest IMO benchmarks, all while being far more responsive in real-time user interactions.

This balance of speed, depth, and accessibility makes Deep Think suitable not only for professionals in research or software development, but also for students, educators, and advanced AI users who need more than just surface-level answers.

CEO Sundar Pichai’s Take on Deep Think

Sundar Pichai, Google CEO, announced the release of Deep Think via a post on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting its ability to match elite math problem-solving capabilities.

“We’re bringing a version of Deep Think that achieved gold-medal status at IMO to Ultra subscribers in the @Geminiapp,” Pichai wrote.
“Toggle it on when reasoning through complex scientific literature or tackling a coding problem that requires careful consideration of time complexities.”

He also gave a nod to Demis Hassabis, head of Google DeepMind, noting that the tool is perfect for those who enjoy intellectual challenges—“even on a Friday night.”

How to Access Deep Think in the Gemini App

To use the Deep Think feature, Gemini Advanced subscribers can:

1. Open the Gemini app on their Android or iOS device

2. Select the 2.5 Pro model

3. Enable the Deep Think toggle

Currently, users are provided with a limited number of Deep Think prompts per day, but Google plans to increase availability in the future.

Additionally, the company has announced plans to make Deep Think accessible via the Gemini API for developers, researchers, and academic institutions, offering broader use cases across industries.

Focus on Safety and Content Integrity

Alongside performance improvements, Google has also enhanced safety protocols and content moderation in Deep Think. The model demonstrates better:

• Objectivity in responses

• Filtering of inappropriate content

• Refusal of harmful or misleading prompts

That said, Google acknowledges that the model still leans on the side of caution and may occasionally decline harmless queries, a trade-off aimed at maintaining a high standard of trust and integrity in AI interactions.

Conclusion: A New Era of Reasoning AI

With the introduction of Deep Think, Google is bridging the gap between AI usability and high-level reasoning. Whether you're solving advanced math equations, writing optimized code, or analyzing complex research papers, Deep Think delivers an unprecedented level of insight and flexibility—all from your mobile device.

As Google continues to expand its AI tools across Gemini and the wider ecosystem, features like Deep Think are set to redefine how users interact with AI for deep, structured, and meaningful problem-solving.
