Our take

Written Aug 3, 2026

Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview 05-06 is Google's flagship multimodal model that can handle up to one million tokens in a single request, accepting text, images, files, audio and video. It is offered through several hosts at tiered price points with noticeably different throughput, though no independent benchmark scores are available.

Who should pick it

Choose this for long-document or multimodal analysis at million-token scale. Pick the lower tier for cost-sensitive work, or the middle tier for highest measured throughput on Vertex. Skip it if you need independent quality scores, or if you need consistent throughput — the same price point varies more than threefold by host.

The case for it

One-million-token request limit supports full books, codebases or extended video sequences in a single pass.
Accepts text, images, files, audio and video simultaneously — broader input coverage than many alternatives.
The middle pricing tier reaches 102.5 tokens per second on Vertex, about 15% faster than the next-best measured option at the same price.

The case against it

No independent benchmark scores in our data — no Elo, MMLU or task scores to verify capability claims.
The premium tier costs more than three and a half times the base tier for both input and output, with no throughput data to justify the jump.
Throughput varies widely at identical prices: the same tier ranges from 24 to 85 tokens per second, or 89 to 102.5 depending on host and configuration.

How good is it?

Nothing measured, on any board we watch.

We hold no score for this model.

We look for every model we track on every board we watch, and none of them has turned up Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview 05-06 — so there is no intelligence, coding, agentic or writing score to show you, not a low one, none.

Why this differs from the header. The strip above quotes Google AI's own list price. This is the cheapest live offer at the widest standard context we hold, whoever is serving it — a reseller undercutting a lab is ordinary commerce, not an error.
