Google has released an updated version of its Gemini 2.5 Pro AI model, touting its improved coding ability, especially when it comes to building web apps.

Although Google was caught off-guard by the rise of OpenAI and its GPT line of AI models, Google has quickly come from behind to offer some of the best options on the market. It’s Gemini 2.5 Pro was already a powerful options, but the company has released an updated version of it that is even better at coding.

Tulsee Doshi, Senior Director of Product Management, announced the new release.

Today we’re releasing early access to Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview (I/O edition), an updated version of 2.5 Pro that has significantly improved capabilities for coding, especially building compelling interactive web apps. We were going to release this update at Google I/O in a couple weeks, but based on the overwhelming enthusiasm for this model, we wanted to get it in your hands sooner so people can start building.

This builds on the overwhelmingly positive feedback to Gemini 2.5 Pro’s coding and multimodal reasoning capabilities. Beyond UI-focused development, these improvements extend to other coding tasks such as code transformation, code editing and developing complex agentic workflows.

According to Doshi, the new Gemini 2.5 Pro leads the WebDev Arena Leaderboard, beating the previous model by a wide margin.

With these enhanced capabilities, 2.5 Pro now leads on the WebDev Arena Leaderboard, surpassing the previous version by +147 Elo points. This leaderboard measures human preference for a model’s ability to build aesthetically pleasing and functional web apps. It also continues to build on its strong foundation in native multimodality and long context; it has state-of-the-art performance in video understanding, with a score of 84.8% on the VideoMME benchmark.

“We’re excited about the latest Gemini 2.5 Pro, which builds on its already strong real-world coding capabilities,” said Michael Truell, Cursor CEO. “We’re observing internally that the new model has a significant reduction in its failure to call tools, an improvement we believe our users will find makes 2.5 Pro even more effective than before in Cursor.”
