Google's new Gemini 2.5 Pro tops the WebDev Arena leaderboard, outperforming competitors like Claude in coding tasks, making it a standout choice for developers seeking superior coding capabilities.
The AI model also features a 1 million token context window (expandable to 2 million), enabling it to handle large codebases and complex projects far beyond the capacity of models like ChatGPT and Claude 3.7 Sonnet.
It also achieved the highest scores on reasoning benchmarks, including a MENSA IQ test and Humanity's Last Exam, demonstrating advanced problem-solving skills essential for sophisticated development tasks.
Google's recently launched Gemini 2.5 Pro has risen to the top spot on coding leaderboards, beating Claude in the famous WebDev Arena—a non-denominational ranking site akin to the LLM arena, but focused specifically on measuring how good AI models are at coding. The achievement comes amid Google's push to position its flagship AI model as a leader in both coding and reasoning tasks.
