Gemini 2.5: Pushing the Frontier with Advanced Reasoning, Multimodality, Long Context, and Next Generation Agentic Capabilities

In this report, we introduce the Gemini 2.X model family: Gemini 2.5 Pro and Gemini 2.5 Flash, as well as our earlier Gemini 2.0 Flash and Flash-Lite models. Gemini 2.5 Pro is our most capable model yet, achieving SoTA performance on frontier coding and reasoning benchmarks. In addition to its incredible coding and reasoning skills, Gemini 2.5 Pro is a thinking model that excels at multimodal understanding and it is now able to process up to 3 hours of video content. Its unique combination of long context, multimodal and reasoning capabilities can be combined to unlock new agentic workflows. Gemini 2.5 Flash provides excellent reasoning abilities at a fraction of the compute and latency requirements and Gemini 2.0 Flash and Flash-Lite provide high performance at low latency and cost. Taken together, the Gemini 2.X model generation spans the full Pareto frontier of model capability vs cost, allowing users to explore the boundaries of what is possible with complex agentic problem solving.

Large scale quantum chemistry with Tensor Processing Units

We demonstrate the use of Google's cloud-based Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) to accelerate and scale up conventional (cubic-scaling) density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Utilizing 512 TPU cores, we accomplish the largest such DFT computation to date, with 247848 orbitals, corresponding to a cluster of 10327 water molecules with 103270 electrons, all treated explicitly. Our work thus paves the way towards accessible and systematic use of conventional DFT, free of any system-specific constraints, at unprecedented scales.

Large Scale Distributed Linear Algebra With Tensor Processing Units

We have repurposed Google Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), application-specific chips developed for machine learning, into large-scale dense linear algebra supercomputers. The TPUs' fast inter-core interconnects (ICI)s, physically two-dimensional network topology, and high-bandwidth memory (HBM) permit distributed matrix multiplication algorithms to rapidly become computationally bound. In this regime, the matrix-multiply units (MXU)s dominate the runtime, yielding impressive scaling, performance, and raw size: operating in float32 precision, a full 2048-core pod of third generation TPUs can multiply two matrices with linear size $N= 220= 1 048 576$ in about 2 minutes. Via curated algorithms emphasizing large, single-core matrix multiplications, other tasks in dense linear algebra can similarly scale. As examples, we present (i) QR decomposition; (ii) resolution of linear systems; and (iii) the computation of matrix functions by polynomial iteration, demonstrated by the matrix polar factorization.
