Google upgrades Gemini 2.5 Pro's already formidable coding capabilities
The rapid rollout of new models of Gemini by Google continues with the release of Gemini 2.5 Pro, which comes with notable improvements. Google claims that this version is the first "long-term stable release," addressing issues that may have frustrated Gemini Pro users.
Unlike Gemini 2.5 Flash, which is still in beta, Gemini Pro 2.5 has taken its time to resolve complex issues around regressions in conversation, making the AI model more robust. The updated model boasts impressive coding capabilities, outscoring rival models on the Aider Polyglot benchmark.
Configurable Thinking Budgets
One key feature of the upgraded Gemini model is the introduction of "configurable thinking budgets." This allows developers to fine-tune the computing power used by Gemini to answer complex queries, preventing the depletion of resources when building applications.
The model is already available through Google AI Studio and Vertex AI, with plans to integrate it into the entire Gemini ecosystem in the near future.
Improved Creativity and Conversational Skills
Previous versions of Gemini Pro faced criticism for lacking creativity and conversational flair, especially outside of technical tasks. Issues such as sloppy writing, formatting, and incoherent responses have been addressed in the latest upgrade, offering more nuanced writing and improved conversational abilities.

Long-Term Stability
Google declares Gemini Pro 2.5 as a long-term stable model, providing developers and enterprise users with certainty and reliability. The enhancements in formatting, memory management, and contextual understanding will likely be extended to the public-facing version of Gemini.
Google's strategy is to make Gemini ubiquitous, catering to a wide range of AI needs. While competition from companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Apple persists, Google aims to stay ahead with Gemini 2.5 Pro.
