Google has significantly accelerated the release of its AI models, launching Gemini 2.5 Pro in late March, just three months after introducing Gemini 2.0 Flash. This rapid development aims to keep pace with the fast-evolving AI industry.
However, this swift rollout has raised concerns about transparency and safety. Google has yet to publish detailed safety reports, known as "model cards," for these latest models. Tulsee Doshi, Google's head of product for Gemini, explained that these models are considered "experimental," with plans to release comprehensive documentation upon their general availability.
The absence of these reports is notable, especially since Google was among the pioneers advocating for such transparency measures in a 2019 research paper. Competitors like OpenAI and Anthropic routinely provide safety evaluations with their AI releases, highlighting the importance of balancing rapid innovation with responsible disclosure.
