Google has rolled out a significant update to its Gemini 2.5 Pro model, announced on June 5, 2025, positioning it as a formidable contender in the AI landscape.
Currently available in preview via Google AI Studio, this upgraded version of Gemini 2.5 Pro showcases marked improvements in coding, mathematics, and instruction-following, surpassing OpenAI’s o3 model across multiple benchmarks.
The latest Gemini 2.5 Pro excels in coding tasks, leading on challenging benchmarks like Aider Polyglot with a score of 86.2%, compared to o3’s 81.3%.
Its ability to handle complex coding projects has been enhanced, making it a top choice for developers building interactive web applications.
In mathematics, the model demonstrates superior performance on benchmarks such as GPQA and AIME 2025, with a notable 24-point Elo score jump on LMArena, reaching 1470, and a 35-point increase on WebDevArena, hitting 1443.
It also leads on Humanity’s Last Exam (HLE), a rigorous test of reasoning and knowledge, further solidifying its edge in math and science domains.
Beyond technical prowess, Gemini 2.5 Pro has improved its ability to follow instructions, addressing user feedback from previous iterations. The model now delivers more creative and better-formatted responses, enhancing its usability for diverse applications.
Developers can also leverage new features like thinking budgets, which allow fine-tuned control over cost and latency, making it more practical for enterprise-scale use.
