The Next-Gen of Gemini: Competitors Beware?

The next generation of Gemini is here, and Google might just be proving that they’re nothing to laugh at in the AI race.

What’s the big deal?

• Gemini 2.5 Pro against its competition in math, science, reasoning, and knowledge. At code generation, it’s pretty much neck-to-neck with OpenAI and Grok, and at code editing, it’s surpassing by quite a bit.

• Google is being a bit more guarded about how it’s achieving this uptick in performance, but they have highlighted their continued focus on reinforcement learning and chain-of-thought prompting.

• While achieving this impressive leap in performance, Gemini 2.5 Pro still offers the massive 1 million token context window that is still distinguishing it from the majority of its competitors (with 2 million coming soon apparently).

So What?

Google is catching up in the AI race, which is sure to put some more heat on its competitors. We’ll see how other leaders in the space react to this, with some certainly speeding up their rate of iteration (and maybe there’s something to learn from Google’s training techniques here as well).

This is great news for folks taking advantage of Gemini’s enormous context window, which really is one of a kind in the market right now.

“Developers and enterprises can start experimenting with Gemini 2.5 Pro in Google AI Studio now, and Gemini Advanced users can select it in the model dropdown on desktop and mobile. It will be available on Vertex AI in the coming weeks!” - Official Google Blog on Gemini 2.5 Pro

Web search finally comes to Claude

Claude has finally brought the web search capability to its suite..

Pretty much identical to ChatGPT’s web search, with a few caveats:

• Only available with Claude 3.7 Sonnet with Web search toggled on

• Activates automatically when Claude determines that the prompt will require searching the web

Try it out for yourself with the quick steps below:

1. Select Claude 3.7 Sonnet (currently only available to paid users, but may be coming to free users as well soon).

2. Turn on the Web search capability .

3. Use Claude as you normally would and watch it search the Internet when necessary.

Try with a prompt like this below!

xAI Launches Grok’s Deeper Search Capability

What’s the big deal?

xAI is doubling down on its commitment to making AI truly real-time.

• The new DeeperSearch capability is somewhat similar to ChatGPT’s Deep research capability while offering enhancements on certain aspects of its DeepSearch capability. 

• Notably, it uses this concept called “presets.” These are really just configurations that a user can set to tailor their search to more specific contexts.

• Users will be able to refine their search and get results that align more closely with what they are looking by selecting “presets” like academic research or casual questions (not actually “presets” that we know of right now, but something to this effect).

• This search capability also taps into real-time data insights using the web and its integration with all the data on X (formerly Twitter).

So What?

Grok already stands out as one of the fastest AI chats on the market right now. With this new feature, Grok will now add even more value to its query results while still delivering at fast speeds with real-time relevancy.

This prioritization on speed and relevancy is incredibly important for the industry as a whole, since it will further enable real-time use cases for AI, in situations where a few seconds really makes the difference and can even mean the difference between life and death (ie. self-driving cars).
