Gemini 2.5
Gemini 2.5 is Google's latest multimodal AI model, available in Flash and Pro variants. It features native multimodal capabilities, processing text, images, video, and audio seamlessly. With exceptional speed, advanced reasoning, and deep integration with Google's ecosystem, it excels at real-time applications and complex analytical tasks.
Overview
Gemini 2.5 represents Google's most advanced AI model family, featuring true native multimodal capabilities. Unlike models that process different modalities separately, Gemini 2.5 was trained from the ground up to understand and reason across text, images, video, audio, and code simultaneously, enabling more sophisticated cross-modal understanding.
Available in two main variants - Flash for speed and efficiency, and Pro for maximum capability - Gemini 2.5 offers flexible options for different use cases. The Flash variant provides near-instantaneous responses ideal for real-time applications, while Pro delivers state-of-the-art performance on complex reasoning and analytical tasks.
