Google on Thursday announced an update to its Gemini 2.5 Pro preview model that the company claims is better at certain programming tasks.
The company’s calling it an “updated preview,” building on the upgrade to Gemini 2.5 Pro that Google announced around a month ago. Google says the model will roll out in general availability in a “couple of weeks” and is available starting today in its AI developer platforms AI Studio and Vertex AI and the Gemini app.
“[Gemini 2.5 Pro] continues to excel at coding, leading on difficult coding benchmarks,” Google wrote in a blog post. “It also shows top-tier performance [on] highly challenging benchmarks that evaluate a model’s math, science, knowledge, and reasoning capabilities.”
So what else is new? Google says it addressed feedback from its previous 2.5 Pro release, improving the model’s style and structure. Now 2.5 Pro can be “more creative with better-formatted responses,” Google claims.
