Google DeepMind
Gemini 2.5 Flash, released by Google in June 2025, is a large language model from the Gemini 2.5 family optimized for high-throughput, cost-efficient deployments with multimodal reasoning. It features a 1M token context window, hybrid thinking control, and native support for text, image, video, and audio input. Gemini 2.5 Flash targets latency-sensitive applications, document analysis, and high-volume API workloads that benefit from combined reasoning and generation in a single model.
OpenAI
OpenAI o3 mini, released by OpenAI in January 2025, is a compact reasoning model from the o3 family designed for efficient, cost-effective STEM problem-solving. It features a 200K token context window and adjustable chain-of-thought effort settings, allowing developers to trade reasoning depth for speed. o3 mini targets science, mathematics, and coding applications where lower inference cost and faster response times are a priority.
