Google has released an updated version of Gemini 2.5 Flash today at I/O 2025! In reasoning mode, the model’s intelligence rises above Qwen3 235B-A22B, and in non-reasoning mode it is now equivalent to GPT-4.1 and DeepSeek V3 Gemini 2.5 Flash Preview (05-20), is an upgraded version of 2.5 Flash Preview (04-17) which was released in April 2025. Gemini 2.5 Flash is a hybrid model, meaning users can choose to enable reasoning mode or not (when in reasoning mode the model outputs tokens to 'think' before answering) Results from our independent benchmarking: ➤ Gemini 2.5 Flash (Reasoning) scores 65, up from 60. This places the model ahead of Qwen3 235B A22B (Reasoning) and Llama 3.1 Nemotron Ultra Reasoning, but remains less intelligence than Google’s leading model, Gemini 2.5 Pro, which scores 69 ➤ Gemini 2.5 Flash (Non Reasoning) scores 53, up from 49, leapfrogging as one of the leading non-reasoning models. It is now equivalent to DeepSeek V3 0324 and OpenAI’s GPT 4.1 in intelligence. This is the first major jump in non-reasoning intelligence for Google’s Gemini Flash models since Gemini 2.0 Flash - the earlier 04-17 preview of Gemini 2.5 Flash did not significantly improve from Gemini 2.0 Flash’s non-reasoning score Google has not changed the pricing for this new release. Like the earlier release, it is priced differently based on if the model is in reasoning mode or not: ➤ Gemini 2.5 Flash (Reasoning): $0.15/$3.50 per million input/output tokens ➤ Gemini 2.5 Flash (Non Reasoning): $0.15/$0.6 per million input/output tokens Analysis of Gemma 3n is coming soon 👀
