Google: Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview 06-05

by Google

9.2
Quality score / 10

Overview

Gemini 2.5 Pro is Google’s state-of-the-art AI model designed for advanced reasoning, coding, mathematics, and scientific tasks. It employs “thinking” capabilities, enabling it to reason through responses with enhanced accuracy...

Our take

Within a category crowded with fast, cheap chat models, this preview build sits at the reasoning-heavy end. It shares the Pro line's "thinking" approach and a 1,048,576-token context window, larger than most models in this listing, which places it among the options built for depth rather than speed. A concrete fit: a data scientist can drop a long experiment log, the underlying code, and reference papers into one prompt and ask the model to reason through where results diverge, drawing on vision input for charts and structured JSON output for downstream processing. Because it is a dated preview snapshot rather than a stable release, it appeals to teams evaluating capability ahead of committing to a production version. Relative to the Flash tier at $0.30 per million tokens, this build is priced at $1.25 per million, marking it as the accuracy-focused choice; against lightweight siblings such as Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite, it keeps full reasoning rather than optimising for low-latency, high-volume runs. No free tier is offered, so evaluation carries a metered cost. It suits engineers and researchers doing content-creation, research, and writing who want to test frontier reasoning before standardising on it. Choose it to trial the Pro line's depth; production teams needing a fixed, supported endpoint should move to a stable release.
