Gemini 3 Flash vs Qwen2.5 72B Instruct

Gemini 3 Flash

Google DeepMind

Gemini 3 Flash, released by Google in December 2025, is a large language model from the Gemini 3 family that delivers reasoning and coding performance with efficiency optimized for high-volume workloads. It features a 1M token context window, 64K maximum output tokens, and native support for text, image, audio, video, and PDF input. Gemini 3 Flash targets cost-sensitive agentic workflows, document processing, and production APIs requiring fast, capable multimodal responses.

Alibaba / Qwen

Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct is the flagship of Alibaba's Qwen2.5 series, a 72-billion-parameter open-weight model released in September 2024 after training on 18 trillion tokens spanning code, mathematics, and multilingual text. It offers strong generalist performance across coding, instruction-following, and structured reasoning while remaining fully open-weight under Apache 2.0 — a combination that made it a widely referenced model in open-source evaluations and community benchmarking. The 128K context window and built-in structured output support made it a common choice for document analysis and multi-step agentic pipeline development.
