Google has just released its latest flagship Gemini 2.5 Pro AI model. In case you didn't know, it was Google who created the original Transformer model architecture that OpenAI's ChatGPT, xAI's Grok, Anthropic Claude, and other models use. Google has been iterating its Gemini series of models for a while, and the company has released its most powerful version yet--the Gemini 2.5 Pro. Being the v2.5 family, it is a part of thinking models, capable of reasoning through their thoughts before producing output, allowing it to reiterate its "thoughts" before delivering optimal results. Reasoning, done through reinforcement learning and chain-of-thought prompting, forces the model to analyze and draw logical, step-by-step solutions, hence delivering better results.

In LMArea, which gives users outputs of AI model, which they grade and decide which one is better, Gemini 2.5 Pro climbed on top in the overall ranking, with number one spot in areas like hard prompts, coding, math, creative writing, instruction following, longer query, and multi-turn answers. This is an impressive result for Google as it now leads the leaderboard in all these areas and beats xAI's Grok 3 and OpenAI's GTP-4.5. In standardized AI industry benchmarks Gemini 2.5 Pro is also a leader in most of the benchmarks, such as AIME, LiveCodeBench, Aider, SWE-Bench, SimpleQA, and others. Interestingly, the 18.8% in Humanity's Last Exam is currently the most difficult AI benchmark. Interestingly, Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro can process massive context with a one million token context window, which will soon extend to two million tokens. It's literally enough to process entire books of context to give the model. Gemini 2.5 Pro is now available in Google AI Studio, and Gemini Advanced users can select it in the model dropdown on desktop and mobile.
