Google: Gemini 2.5 Flash

Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash, a state-of-the-art workhorse model, demonstrates strong overall performance, particularly excelling in reliability and specific accuracy benchmarks. It performs among the fastest models, ranking in the top tier for speed (66th percentile), and offers moderate pricing (34th percentile). Notably, Gemini 2.5 Flash exhibits exceptional reliability with a 100% success rate across all benchmarks, indicating consistent and usable responses. The model shows remarkable accuracy in General Knowledge and Ethics, achieving perfect scores in both categories, and is highlighted as the most accurate at its price point and speed for these tasks. Its Instruction Following capabilities are also very strong at 75.0% accuracy (87th percentile). While its Hallucinations accuracy is 96.0%, suggesting a good ability to acknowledge uncertainty, its duration for this test is notably high. Performance in Reasoning (80.0% accuracy) and Email Classification (99.0% accuracy) is also robust. Mathematics and Coding benchmarks show solid, though not top-tier, performance at 86.0% and 83.0% accuracy respectively. The configurable "max tokens for reasoning" parameter further enhances its utility for complex tasks.
