My guess is that they've done a lot of tuning to improve diff based code editing. Gemini 2.5 is fantastic at agentic work, but it still is pretty rough around the edges in terms of generating perfectly matching diffs to edit code. It's probably one of the very few issues with the model. Luckily, aider tracks this.

They measure the old gemini 2.5 generating proper diffs 92% of the time. I bet this goes up to ~95-98% https://aider.chat/docs/leaderboards/

Question for the google peeps who monitor these threads: Is gemini-2.5-pro-exp (free tier) updated as well, or will it go away?

Also, in the blog post, it says:

  > The previous iteration (03-25) now points to the most recent version (05-06), so no action is required to use the improved model, and it continues to be available at the same price.

Does this mean gemini-2.5-pro-preview-03-25 now uses 05-06? Does the same apply to gemini-2.5-pro-exp-03-25?

update: I just tried updating the date in the exp model (gemini-2.5-pro-exp-05-06) and that doesnt work.

What do you mean by agentic work in this context?

Knowing when to call functions, generating the proper function calling text structure, properly executing functions in sequence, knowing when it's completed its objective, and doing that over an extended context window.
