GEMINI 2.5 IS THE NEW SOTA

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

While Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental is not the best model for everything, it is the model you want for reasoning and raw intelligence. It can solve practical problems, it's fast, and it's not $200 a month. The model's release shows that Google can offer high-end large models, as well as the small models with large context windows that it has so far been releasing.
