Be careful, this model is worse than 03-25 in 10 of the 12 benchmarks (!) I bet they kept training on coding, made everything worse on the way, and tried to hide it under the rug because of the sunk costs.
My guess is that they've done a lot of tuning to improve diff based code editing. Gemini 2.5 is fantastic at agentic work, but it still is pretty rough around the edges in terms of generating perfectly matching diffs to edit code. It's probably one of the very few issues with the model. Luckily, aider tracks this. They measure the old gemini 2.5 generating proper diffs 92% of the time. I bet this goes up to ~95-98% h…
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but every time I ask gemini 2.5 for code it outputs SO MANY comments. An exaggerated amount of comments. Sections comments, step comments, block comments, inline comments, all the gang.
What does that mean?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
And a $2.99 drugstore slim wallet calculator with solar power gets it right 100% of the time while billion dollar LLMs can still get arithmetic wrong on occasion.
My hammer can't do any arithmetic at all, why does anyone even use them?

Interestingly, when compering benchmarks of Experimental 03-25 [1] and Experimental 05-06 [2] it seems the new version scores slightly lower in everything except on LiveCodeBench. [1] https://storage.googleapis.com/model-cards/documents/gemini-... [2] https://deepmind.google/technologies/gemini/
Sounds like they were losing so much money on 2.5-Pro they came up with a forced update that made it cheaper to run. They can't come out with "we've made it worse across the board", nor do they want to be the first to actually raise prices, so instead they made a bit of a distill that's slightly better at coding so they can still spin it positively.
I'm totally lost again! If I use Gemini on the website (gemini.google.com), am I using 2.5 Pro IO edition, or am I using the old one?
Check the dropdown in the top left (on my screen,at least).
My frustration with using these models for programming in the past has largely been around their tendency to hallucinate APIs that simply don't exist. The Gemini 2.5 models, both pro and flash, seem significantly less susceptible to this than any other model I've tried. There are still significant limitations, no amount of prompting will get current models to approach abstraction and architecture the way a person doe…
internet also helps.
Also having markdown files with the stack etc and any -rules-
Can someone tell me if windsurf is better than cursor? ( pref someone who has used both for a few days? )
