Thinking Capabilities
The model is designed as a "thinking model," meaning it reasons through problems before
responding. This feature enhances performance and accuracy, making it suitable for complex
tasks.
A core feature of Gemini 2.5 is its "thinking" capability, where the model reasons through its
thoughts before responding, enhancing performance and accuracy. This is described as a step
beyond previous models, with all Gemini 2.5 family models incorporating this feature, as noted
in a report from March 25, 2025 (9to5google). This reasoning ability, likened to analyzing
information and drawing logical conclusions, is built directly into the models, supporting more
capable, context-aware agents. Compared to Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking, introduced earlier,
Gemini 2.5 enhances this with improved post-training, as highlighted in an Ars Technica article
from March 26, 2025 (Ars Technica).
Benchmark Performance

Research suggests Gemini 2.5 tops the LMArena leaderboard and performs strongly in coding,
math, and science benchmarks, indicating its capability in diverse areas.

Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental leads on the LMArena leaderboard, a measure of human
preferences, by a significant margin, indicating high capability and quality style. It excels in
coding, math, and science benchmarks, with specific mentions of leading in GPQA and AIME
2025 for science and math, and scoring 18.8% on Humanity's Last Exam, outperforming
competitors like OpenAI's o3-mini (14%) and Anthropic's Claude 3.7 Sonnet (8.9%), as
reported in a ZDNET article from March 25, 2025 (ZDNET). This performance is attributed to its
reasoning capabilities, making it state-of-the-art for complex tasks.

without needing RAG.

Gemini 2.5 excels with its large context window, superior to competitors like OpenAI's o3-mini
and Claude 3.7 Sonnet. This capacity, combined with native multimodality, allows for efficient
processing and enhanced code generation capabilities.

An unexpected aspect is the competitive pressure Gemini 2.5 faces, with open-source models
like DeepSeek-R1 showing cost-effective reasoning, and comparisons with OpenAI and
Anthropic models, as noted in a VentureBeat article from March 26, 2025 (VentureBeat). This
context underscores Google's push to maintain leadership in the AI race, particularly in
reasoning models.
In conclusion, Gemini 2.5 represents a significant step forward with its thinking capabilities,
benchmark leadership, and large context window, building on the Gemini 2.0 foundation while
addressing complex, real-world AI challenges.
