Google DeepMind
Gemini 2.5 Pro, released by Google in May 2025, is a large language model from the Gemini 2.5 family designed for complex reasoning, coding, and long-context analysis tasks. It features a 1M token context window, native support for text, image, video, and audio input, and integrated thinking capabilities for multi-step problem solving. Gemini 2.5 Pro targets advanced coding workflows, scientific reasoning, and applications requiring deep understanding across large, mixed-modality contexts.
OpenAI
GPT-5 mini, released by OpenAI in August 2025, is a smaller variant from the GPT-5 family that inherits GPT-5's unified reasoning architecture and multimodal capabilities at a reduced inference cost. It targets high-volume production use cases requiring a balance of intelligence and response speed, offering GPT-5 capabilities for applications where full GPT-5 inference costs are a concern.
