Google's frontier model family. Gemini 2.5 Pro has 1M token context and top-tier coding benchmarks. Gemini 3 Pro pushes reasoning further. Free tier via AI Studio.
Gemini is Google's flagship AI model family. Gemini 2.5 Pro holds the largest production context window at 1M tokens, letting it process entire codebases, long documents, and hours of video in a single prompt. It ranks at the top of multiple coding and reasoning benchmarks. Gemini 3 Pro extends those capabilities with stronger reasoning and multimodal understanding. The free tier through Google AI Studio is generous enough for serious development work. Available via the Gemini API, Vertex AI, and Google AI Studio. The 1M context window is a genuine differentiator for use cases involving large codebases or document analysis that other models cannot handle in a single pass.
