Inside Google’s AI leap: Gemini 2.5 thinks deeper, speaks smarter and codes faster


Google is moving closer to its goal of autonomous agentic AI with a series of enhancements to Gemini 2.5 Pro and Flash.

Overall, the new 2.5 Pro leads popular coding leaderboard WebDev Arena, with an ELO score — which measures the relative skill level of players in two-player games like chess — of 1420 (intermediate to proficient). Google is bringing additional capabilities to both Gemini 2.5 Pro and 2.5 Flash, including native audio output to create more natural conversational experiences, text-to-speech to support multiple speakers, thought summaries and thinking budgets. With native audio input (in preview), users can steer Gemini’s tone, accent and style of speaking (think: directing the model to be melodramatic or maudlin when telling a story).
