Introduction
Google just dropped a brand-new update to what might just be the best model ever created: Gemini 2.5 Pro IO Edition! As of today, May 6th, I’ve been putting it through its paces, and let me tell you, the performance is mind-blowing. This thing can zero in on some seriously impressive code projects. Let’s dive into the incredible performance of Gemini 2.5 Pro IO Edition!
Solving Puzzles Like a Boss
Rubik’s Cube Master
Remember how Gemini 2.5 Pro (the previous version) could solve a Rubik’s Cube in one go? Well, the new version has even more tricks up its sleeve. You can rotate, zoom, and scramble with ease. It’s like having a Rubik’s Cube wizard in your computer!
20×20 Cube Challenge
Last time, we tackled a 10×10 cube. This time? A fully scrambled 20×20 cube! It’s incredibly complex, but Gemini 2.5 Pro IO Edition can solve it. It takes a bit, but it gets the job done.
What’s New and Improved in Gemini 2.5 Pro?
Focus on Web Apps
The big focus of this update is building rich, interactive web apps. And trust me, it shows! Google is gearing up for Google IO, and they wanted to get this updated version of 2.5 Pro into our hands sooner so we can start building cool stuff.
Tool Calling Gets an Upgrade
Gemini 2.5 Pro was already the best coding model out there, but Claude 3.7 was still better for agentic coding. Now, with this new version, they’ve seriously invested in making tool calling much better. These improvements also extend to code transformation, code editing, and developing complex agentic workflows.
Million Token Context Window
Like the other Gemini models, this one boasts a million token context window. Plus, it can ingest video, images, audio – pretty much everything you throw at it!
Benchmarks and Performance
LM Arena Domination
Gemini 2.5 Pro IO Edition has snagged the number one spot on LM Arena, jumping from 1437 to 1448. And on the web dev arena leaderboard, it leaped from 1272 to 1419 – a whopping 147-point improvement!
Benchmark Breakdown
While benchmarks only mean so much, Gemini 2.5 Pro IO Edition holds its own. It’s either even with or slightly behind OpenAI 03 in areas like GPQA Diamond, Sweetbench Verified, and MMLU. But in real-world use, Gemini shines.
The Price is Right!
Not only is Gemini 2.5 Pro IO Edition a top-tier model, but it’s also the cheapest for its intelligence level. We’re talking $2.50 per million tokens for input and $15 for output. That’s a steal compared to 03!
Cool Projects and Tests
3D Floating Island Simulation
I tasked Gemini 2.5 Pro IO Edition with creating a dreamy low poly floating island scene with dynamic lighting and gentle animations in a single HTML file. The result? Stunning! Clouds floating, perfect lighting, and sliders to control everything from sun intensity to cloud speed.
Golton Board Simulation
Next up, a Golton board simulation using client-side JavaScript and a 2D physics engine. It took a couple of tries to get the hole in the top funnel right, but the final result is a sweet simulation with sliders for drop interval, max number of balls, peg rows, and more!
Flight Simulator Fun
A simple flight simulator using 3.js? No problem! Gemini 2.5 Pro IO Edition whipped up a third-person camera view, basic airplane model, and simple controls. It’s basic, but really cool!
Snake Game: The Complex Edition
We’re not talking about your grandma’s Snake game. This version has dynamic visual effects, glowing fading trails, particle explosions, and different types of food that grant temporary powers. It even has an AI snake playing against you!
Particle Simulation Recreation
I uploaded a video of a particle simulation and asked Gemini 2.5 Pro IO Edition to recreate it. The result? A mesmerizing simulation with rotating shapes, customizable colors, and sliders to control the number of particles, size, and morph speed.
Lego Building Simulator
An interactive Lego building simulation with realistic-looking bricks, a grid-based snapping system, and satisfying visual and audio feedback. Placement isn’t perfect, but it’s still really good!
Tamagotchi Time!
Remember Tamagotchis? Gemini 2.5 Pro IO Edition can build one! You can feed it, clean up after it, play with it, and watch it evolve. It’s super nostalgic!
Retro FPS Game (Doom Inspired)
A retro-style 3D first-person shooter game inspired by the original Doom? Yes, please! Maze-like level layout, textured walls, a mini-map, and enemies to blast. It’s a basic version, but it’s amazing!
Tower Defense Game
A tower defense game where you place dart, cannon, ice, sniper, and laser towers to defend against waves of balloon enemies. The laser tower is especially cool!
Drawing App from a Sketch
I provided a rudimentary sketch of a drawing app, and Gemini 2.5 Pro IO Edition coded it! Colors, tools, different sizes – it’s all there.
Rebuilding AI Studio’s Front End
I asked Gemini 2.5 Pro IO Edition to rebuild Google AI Studio’s front end from a screenshot. The result was impressive. It’s not perfect, but it’s very accurate.
The Ultimate Test: Cube Counting
How Many Cubes Are Missing?
I presented Gemini 2.5 Pro IO Edition with an image of a partially filled cube and asked it to count how many cubes were missing. Unfortunately, it couldn’t solve it. This might just be the new benchmark for AI models!
Conclusion
The best model just got better! Gemini 2.5 Pro IO Edition is a coding powerhouse that can tackle complex projects with ease. It’s affordable, versatile, and constantly improving. The capabilities of Gemini 2.5 Pro IO Edition are truly impressive, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with AI. It’s a game-changer for developers!
