It says it's been trained from scratch. I wonder if it will have the same undescribable magic that makes me spend an hour every day with 2.5. I really love the results I can get with 2.5 pro. Google eventually limiting aistudio will be a sad day.

Also I really hoped for a 2M+ context. I'm living on the context edge even with 1M.

If these numbers are true then OpenAI is probably done, Anthropic too. Still, it's hard to see an effective monetization method for this tech and it clearly is eating Google's main pie which is search.

Why? These models just leapfrog each other as time advances.

One month Gemini is on top, then ChatGPT, then Anthropic. Not sure why everyone gets FOMO whenever a new version gets released.

They scored a 31.1% on ARC AGI 2 which puts them in first place. Also notable which models they include for comparison: Gemini 2.5 Pro, Claude Sonnet 4.5, and GPT-5.1. That seems like a minor snub against Grok 4 / Grok 4.1.

My impression is that Grok is very rarely used in practice outside of a niche of die-hard users, partly because of very different tuning to other models, and partly the related public reputation around it.

https://firstpagesage.com/reports/top-generative-ai-chatbots... suggests 0.6% of chat use cases, well below the other big names, and I suspect those stats for chat are higher than other scenarios like business usage. Given all that, I can see how Gemini might not be focused on competing with them.

About ARC 2:

I would want to hear more detail about prompts, frameworks, thinking time, etc., but they don't matter too much. The main caveat would be that this is probably on the public test set, so could be in pretraining, and there could even be some ARC-focussed post-training - I think we don't know yet and might never know.

But for any reasonable setup, if no egregious cheating, that is an amazing score on ARC 2.

This may just be bad recollection from my part, but hasn't Google reported that their search business is right now the most profitable it has ever been?
