Google Gemini was King. Now it Wants to Play God

Just a couple of months ago, many were sceptical about Google’s future in AI. However, the company found a healthy redemption with the Gemini 2.0 Flash and the 2.5 Pro model, both equipped with reasoning and deep research capabilities.  While these models led the competition on all fronts—speed, performance, and cost efficiency—the company showed that it is far from slowing down at the I/O 2025 event.  The Gemini 2.5 Pro and 2.5 Flash models have received massive upgrades. While the former was expected to maintain its benchmark dominance, the 2.5 Flash—designed for speed and cost efficiency—has now surpassed its rivals. It competes with models like OpenAI’s o3 and o4-mini and even comes close to its more powerful counterpart, the 2.5 Pro.  Both models excel at coding, mathematics, graduate-level science questions, and virtually every benchmark imaginable.  Source: Artificial Analysis The company also introduced Deep Think for the Gemini 2.
