Summary
Google’s DeepMind has upgraded its hit Gemini 2.5 Pro multimodal large language model (LLM) which it claims is now the best coding model the company has ever built.
Initial benchmarks of the model have revealed that it has overtaken the previous leader, Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 Sonnet, on WebDev Arena Leaderboard, a third-party ranking metric.
It achieved a score of 1499.95, compared to 1377.10 for Anthropic’s model.
The new version of Gemini offers improved reliability, aesthetics and usability and is now available to indie developers within Google AI Studio, to enterprises on the Vertex AI cloud platform, and to individual users in the Gemini app.
Within the Gemini app, the model can build full, interactive web apps or simulations from a single prompt, aligning with DeepMind’s vision to simplify the prototyping and development process.
