One of the biggest problems with hands off LLM writing (for long horizon stuff like novels) is that you can't really give them any details of your story because they get absolutely neurotic with it.

Imagine for instance you give the LLM the profile of the love interest for your epic fantasy, it will almost always have the main character meeting them within 3 pages (usually page 1) which is of course absolutely nonsensical pacing. No attempt to tell it otherwise changes anything.

This is the first model that after 19 pages generated so far resembles anything like normal pacing even with a TON of details. I've never felt the need to generate anywhere near this much. Extremely impressed.

I've been using a math puzzle as a way to benchmark the different models. The math puzzle took me ~3 days to solve with a computer. A math major I know took about a day to solve it by hand.

Gemini 2.5 is the first model I tested that was able to solve it and it one-shotted it. I think it's not an exaggeration to say LLMs are now better than 95+% of the population at mathematical reasoning.

For those curious the riddle is: There's three people in a circle. Each person has a positive integer floating above their heads, such that each person can see the other two numbers but not his own. The sum of two of the numbers is equal to the third. The first person is asked for his number, and he says that he doesn't know. The second person is asked for his number, and he says that he doesn't know. The third person is asked for his number, and he says that he doesn't know. Then, the first person is asked for his number again, and he says: 65. What is the product of the three numbers?

I'm impressed by this one. I tried it on audio transcription with timestamps and speaker identification (over a 10 minute MP3) and drawing bounding boxes around creatures in a complex photograph and it did extremely well on both of those.

Plus it drew me a very decent pelican riding a bicycle.

Just adding to the praise: I have a little test case I've used lately which was to identify the cause of a bug in a Dart library I was encountering by providing the LLM with the entire codebase and description of the bug. It's about 360,000 tokens.

I tried it a month ago on all the major frontier models and none of them correctly identified the fix. This is the first model to identify it correctly.

> with Gemini 2.5, we've achieved a new level of performance by combining a significantly enhanced base model with improved post-training. Going forward, we’re building these thinking capabilities directly into all of our models, so they can handle more complex problems and support even more capable, context-aware agents.

Been playing around with it and it feels intelligent and up to date. Plus is connected to the internet. A reasoning model by default when it needs to.

I hope they enable support for the recently released canvas mode for this model soon it will be a good match.

9 days agoby jnd0

I wonder what about this one gets the +0.5 to the name. IIRC the 2.0 model isn’t particularly old yet. Is it purely marketing, does it represent new model structure, iteratively more training data over the base 2.0, new serving infrastructure, etc?

I’ve always found the use of the *.5 naming kinda silly when it became a thing. When OpenAI released 3.5, they said they already had 4 underway at the time, they were just tweaking 3 be better for ChatGPT. It felt like a scrappy startup name, and now it’s spread across the industry. Anthropic naming their models Sonnet 3, 3.5, 3.5 (new), 3.7 felt like the worst offender of this naming scheme.

I’m a much bigger fan of semver (not skipping to .5 though), date based (“Gemini Pro 2025”), or number + meaningful letter (eg 4o - “Omni”) for model names.

9 days agoby vineyardmike

Just a couple of days ago I wrote on reddit about how long context models are mostly useless to me, because they start making too many mistakes very fast. They are vaguely helpful for "needle in a haystack" problems, not much more.

I have a "test" which consists in sending it a collection of almost 1000 poems, which currently sit at around ~230k tokens, and then asking a bunch of stuff which requires reasoning over them. Sometimes, it's something as simple as "identify key writing periods and their differences" (the poems are ordered chronologically). Previous models don't usually "see" the final poems — they get lost, hallucinate and are pretty much worthless. I have tried several workaround techniques with varying degrees of success (e.g. randomizing the poems).

Having just tried this model (I have spent the last 3 hours probing it), I can say that, to me, this is a breakthrough moment. Truly a leap. This is the first model that can consistently comb through these poems (200k+ tokens) and analyse them as a whole, without significant issues or problems. I have no idea how they did it, but they did it.

The analysis of this poetic corpus has few mistakes and is very, very, very good. Certainly very good in terms of how quickly it produces an answer — it would take someone days or weeks of thorough analysis.

Of course, this isn't about poetry — it's about passing in huge amounts of information, without RAG, and having a high degree of confidence in whatever reasoning tasks this model performs. It is the first time that I feel confident that I could offload the task of "reasoning" over large corpus of data to an LLM. The mistakes it makes are minute, it hasn't hallucinated, and the analysis is, frankly, better than what I would expect of most people.

Breakthrough moment.

Impressive model - but I'm confused by the knowledge cutoff. AI Studio says it is January 2025 (which would be impressive) but querying it for anything early 2025 or mid/late 2024 and it self-reports that it's cutoff is in 2023 (which can't be right).

This is most evident when querying about fast-moving dev tools like uv or bun. It seems to only know the original uv options like pip and tools, while with bun it is unfamiliar with bun outdated (from Aug 2024), bun workspaces (from around that time?) but does know how to install bun on windows (April 2024).

You'll still need to provide this model with a lot of context to use it with any tooling or libraries with breaking changes or new features from the past ~year - which seems to contradict the AI Studio reported knowledge cutoff.

Were I developing models - I'd prioritise squeezing in the most recent knowledge of popular tools and libraries since development is such a popular (and revenue generating) use case.

9 days agoby Dowwie

I was recently trying to replicate ClaudePlaysPokemon (which uses Claude 3.7) using Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking, but it was seemingly getting confused and hallucinating significantly more than Claude, making it unviable (although some of that might be caused by my different setup). I wonder if this new model will do better. But I can't easily test it: for now, even paid users are apparently limited to 50 requests per day [1], which is not really enough when every step in the game is a request. Maybe I'll try it anyway, but really I need to wait for them to "introduce pricing in the coming weeks".

Edit: I did try it anyway and so far the new model is having similar hallucinations. I really need to test my code with Claude 3.7 as a control, to see if it approach the real ClaudePlaysPokemon's semi-competence.

Edit 2: Here's the log if anyone is curious. For some reason it's letting me make more requests than the stated rate limit. Note how at 11:27:11 it hallucinates on-screen text, and earlier it thinks some random offscreen tile is the stairs. Yes, I'm sure this is the right model: gemini-2.5-pro-exp-03-25.

It can answer my favourite riddle for LLMs:

"Anna, Becca and Clare go to the play park. There is nobody else there. Anna is playing on the see-saw, Becca is playing on the swings. What is Clare doing?" (Sometimes I ask similar questions with the same structure and assumptions but different activities)

About a year ago none of them could answer it. All the latest models can pass it if I tell them to think hard, but previously Gemini could rarely answer it without that extra hint. Gemini 2.5 caveats its answer a bit, but does get it correct. Interestingly GPT-4o initially suggests it will give a wrong answer without thinking, but recognises it's a riddle, so decides to think harder and gets it right.

One test I always do is ask for an absolutely minimal language interpreter with TCO.

This is part of the code output (after several interactions of it not returning actual code):

        // Tail Call Optimization (very basic)
        if(func->type == VAL_FUNCTION){
            return apply(func, args, env); //no stack growth.
        }
        else{
            return apply(func, args, env);
        }

I'm not very impressed.

I pointed out that part of the code, and answered:

You've correctly pointed out that the TCO implementation in the provided C code snippet is essentially a no-op. The if and else blocks do the same thing: they both call apply(func, args, env). This means there's no actual tail call optimization happening; it's just a regular function call.

But then follows with even worst code. It does not even compile!

While I'm sure the new Gemini model has made improvements, I feel like the user experience outside of the model itself is stagnating. I think OpenAI's interfaces, both web app and mobile app, are quite a bit more polished currently. For example, Gemini's speech recognition struggles with longer pauses and often enough cuts me off mid-sentence. Also, OpenAIs whisper model understands more context (for instance, saying “[...] plex, emby and Jellyfin [...]” is usually understood in whisper, but less often in Gemini) The Gemini web app lacks keyboard shortcuts for basic actions like opening a new chat or toggling the sidebar (good for privacy friendly pair programming). Last point off the top of my head would be the ability to edit messages beyond just the last one. That's possible in ChatGPT, but not in Gemini. Googlers are spending so much money for model training, I would appreciate spending some for making it fun to use :)

I do not intend to take anything away from the technical achievement of the team. However, as Satya opined some weeks back, these benchmarks do not mean a lot if we do not see a comparable increase in productivity.

But then there are two questions. First, are the white collar workers specifically consultants, engineers responsible for increase in productivity? Or is the white collar workers at the very right tail e.g., scientists?

I think consultants and engineers are using these technologies a lot. I think biologists at least are using these models a lot.

But then where is the productivity increases?

The Gemini 2.5 model is truly impressive, especially with its multimodal capability. Its ability to understand audio and video content is amazing—truly groundbreaking.

I spent some time experimenting with Gemini 2.5, and its reasoning abilities blew me away. Here are few standout use cases that showcase its potential:

1. Counting Occurrences in a Video

In one experiment, I tested Gemini 2.5 with a video of an assassination attempt on then-candidate Donald Trump. Could the model accurately count the number of shots fired? This task might sound trivial, but earlier AI models often struggled with simple counting tasks (like identifying the number of "R"s in the word "strawberry").

Gemini 2.5 nailed it! It correctly identified each sound, outputted the timestamps where they appeared, and counted eight shots, providing both visual and audio analysis to back up its answer. This demonstrates not only its ability to process multimodal inputs but also its capacity for precise reasoning—a major leap forward for AI systems.

2. Identifying Background Music and Movie Name

Have you ever heard a song playing in the background of a video and wished you could identify it? Gemini 2.5 can do just that! Acting like an advanced version of Shazam, it analyzes audio tracks embedded in videos and identifies background music. I am also not a big fan of people posting shorts without specifying the movie name. Gemini 2.5 solves that problem for you - no more searching for movie name!

3. OCR Text Recognition

Gemini 2.5 excels at Optical Character Recognition (OCR), making it capable of extracting text from images or videos with precision. I asked the model to output one of Khan Academy's handwritten visuals into a nice table format - and the text was precisely copied from video into a neat little table!

4. Listen to Foreign News Media

The model can translate text from one language to another and give a good translation. I tested the recent official statement from Thai officials about an earthquake in Bangkok, and the latest news from a Marathi news channel. The model was correctly able to translate and output the news synopsis in the language of your choice.

5. Cricket Fans?

Sports fans and analysts alike will appreciate this use case! I tested Gemini 2.5 on an ICC T20 World Cup cricket match video to see how well it could analyze gameplay data. The results were incredible: the model accurately calculated scores, identified the number of fours and sixes, and even pinpointed key moments—all while providing timestamps for each event.

7. Webinar - Generate Slides from Video

Now this blew my mind - video webinars are generated by slide decks and a person talking about the slides. Can we reverse the process? Given a video, can we ask AI to output the slide deck? Google Gemini 2.5 outputted 41 slides for a Stanford webinar!

Bonus: Humor Test

Finally, I put Gemini 2.5 through a humor test using a PG-13 joke from one of my favorite YouTube channels, Mike and Joelle. I wanted to see if the model could understand adult humor and infer punchlines.

At first, the model hesitated to spell out the punchline (perhaps trying to stay appropriate?), but eventually, it got there—and yes, it understood the joke perfectly!

I look forward to doing so when it's out. That Aider bench mixed with the speed and a long context window that their other models are known for could be a great mix. But we'll have to wait and see.

More generally, it woud be nice for these kinds of releases to also add speed and context window as a separate benchmark. Or somehow include it in the score. A model that is 90% as good as the best but 10x faster is quite a bit more useful.

These might be hard to mix to an overall score but they're critical for understanding usefulness.
