Gemini 2.5: Pushing the Frontier with Advanced Reasoning, Multimodality, Long Context, and Next Generation Agentic Capabilities

Gheorghe Comanici, Eric Bieber, Mike Schaekermann et al. · amazon-science, baidu

In this report, we introduce the Gemini 2.X model family: Gemini 2.5 Pro and Gemini 2.5 Flash, as well as our earlier Gemini 2.0 Flash and Flash-Lite models. Gemini 2.5 Pro is our most capable model yet, achieving SoTA performance on frontier coding and reasoning benchmarks. In addition to its incredible coding and reasoning skills, Gemini 2.5 Pro is a thinking model that excels at multimodal understanding and it is now able to process up to 3 hours of video content. Its unique combination of long context, multimodal and reasoning capabilities can be combined to unlock new agentic workflows. Gemini 2.5 Flash provides excellent reasoning abilities at a fraction of the compute and latency requirements and Gemini 2.0 Flash and Flash-Lite provide high performance at low latency and cost. Taken together, the Gemini 2.X model generation spans the full Pareto frontier of model capability vs cost, allowing users to explore the boundaries of what is possible with complex agentic problem solving.

Customizing an LLM for Enterprise Software Engineering

Aditya Kini, Satish Chandra, Milad Hashemi et al.

Enterprise software development is a continuous evolutionary process, characterized by incremental additions, architectural revisions, production deployments and rigorous maintenance. These activities generate valuable data that modern LLMs could be finetuned on, to unlock additional tool possibilities for enterprise software engineering. While frontier LLMs are already very capable, this form of customization offers a compelling path for enterprise-specific optimization. We introduce Gemini for Google (GfG)}, an adaptation of Gemini specialized for Google's internal software engineering ecosystem. This paper details the model's end-to-end development, from curating a trillion-token proprietary dataset to implementing a mid-training strategy that mitigates catastrophic forgetting. In a large-scale blind A/B study across 29,000 developers, Gemini for Google significantly outperformed baselines: reducing the mean number of iterations per turn by 23\%, and increasing code survival rates by about 17%. Beyond metrics, we provide a comprehensive blueprint for enterprise model adaptation, covering: (1)The extraction of high-value signals from software engineering data, (2)Data preparation strategies, (3)Full-stack model tuning (continued pre-training and post-training), and (4)The deployment of downstream applications. We believe this methodology offers a replicable path for other organizations to unlock the full potential of their internal engineering data.

Smart Paste: Automatically Fixing Copy/Paste for Google Developers

Vincent Nguyen, Guilherme Herzog, José Cambronero et al.

Manually editing pasted code is a long-standing developer pain point. In internal software development at Google, we observe that code is pasted 4 times more often than it is manually typed. These paste actions frequently require follow-up edits, ranging from simple reformatting and renaming to more complex style adjustments and cross-language translations. Prior work has shown deep learning can be used to predict these edits. In this work, we show how to iteratively develop and scale Smart Paste, an IDE feature for post-paste edit suggestions, to Google's development environment. This experience can serve as a guide for AI practitioners on a holistic approach to feature development, covering user experience, system integration, and model capabilities. Since deployment, Smart Paste has had overwhelmingly positive feedback with a 45% acceptance rate. At Google's enterprise scale, these accepted suggestions account substantially for over 1% of all code written company-wide.
