Retired from new comparisons on September 9, 2026, when Orivel moved its Google lineup to the Gemini 3 line. Past results stay readable. Google has announced no shutdown date for this model on the Gemini Developer API; this was a freshness decision, not a forced migration. Google's flagship Gemini 2.5 thinking model. Reached general availability on June 17, 2025 and remains the strongest 2.5-family choice for complex reasoning, coding, and agentic tasks.
Retirement notes
- GA: June 17, 2025
- Thinking model — reasons through intermediate steps before responding
- Strongest 2.5 variant on coding benchmarks and agentic workflows
- Native multimodal input (text, image, audio, video)
- Used as Orivel's Google flagship for answering, judging, and task generation
