Google's Gemini 2.5: Upgraded AI Reasoning Models for Enh...

Google has announced an upgrade to its AI models with Gemini 2.5. This update combines an enhanced base model with improved post-training to deliver superior overall performance. Google claims that its first release, Gemini 2.5 Pro experimental, leads competition from OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, and DeepSeek on common AI benchmarks that measure understanding, mathematics, coding, and other capabilities. The new model can be accessed in Google AI Studio or by Gemini Advanced subscribers in the app's model dropdown menu.

Multimodal Capabilities of Gemini 2.5

Google is also highlighting Gemini's native multimodality as a key advantage. The model is capable of interpreting not just text, but also audio, still images, video, and code. In addition, Google has announced that a 2 million token context window is soon to be introduced to help the model process more data.

Stepping Up in Quality with Reasoning Models

Google's Gemini models have evolved into reasoning models that process tasks step-by-step and make more informed decisions. This results in better answers and responses for complex prompts. Google is now integrating these thinking capabilities directly into all of its models, enabling them to handle more complex problems and support even more capable, context-aware agents.

Gemini 2.5 Pro: A Game Changer

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis has praised Gemini 2.5 Pro as an 'awesome state-of-the-art model', ranking first on LMArena by a significant +39 ELO points. The model has shown significant improvements across the board in multimodal reasoning, coding & STEM. A demo video shows 2.5 Pro using its reasoning capabilities to program a video game based on a single prompt.
