Most of us weren’t using Gemini pro models (1.0, 1.5, 2.0) but the recent 2.5 pro is such a huge step up. It’s better than 3.7 sonnet for coding. Better than o1, o3-mini models and now o3 and o4-mini. It’s become my daily driver. It does everything I need with almost 100% accuracy, is cheap, fast, 1 million context window, uses google web search for grounding, can fetch YouTube video transcripts, can fetch website content, works in google workspace: Gmail, Docs, Sheets. Really hard to beat this combo. Oh and if you subscribe to their AI plan it comes with 2 TB drive storage.
