Interestingly, when compering benchmarks of Experimental 03-25 [1] and Experimental 05-06 [2] it seems the new version scores slightly lower in everything except on LiveCodeBench.

Sounds like they were losing so much money on 2.5-Pro they came up with a forced update that made it cheaper to run. They can't come out with "we've made it worse across the board", nor do they want to be the first to actually raise prices, so instead they made a bit of a distill that's slightly better at coding so they can still spin it positively.

Google doesn't pay the nvidia tax. Their TPUs are designed for Gemini and Gemini designed for their TPUs. Google is no doubt paying far less per token than every other AI house.
