GPT-5 Nano vs Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental

1. Extremely fast performance

• Fastest model in the GPT-5 family.
• Great for real-time workflows, rapid responses, and high-throughput systems.

2. Most cost-efficient GPT-5 model

• Lowest input and output token costs.
• Suitable for large-scale or budget-sensitive applications.

3. Ideal for lightweight, well-scoped tasks

• Excels at summarization, classification, text extraction, and simple logic tasks.
• Best used when tasks are narrow and well-defined.

4. Multimodal input

• Accepts text + image as input.
• Outputs text only.

5. Broad tool support

• Supports Web Search, File Search, Image Generation (as a tool), Code Interpreter, and MCP.
• (Does not support Computer Use.)

1. State-of-the-art reasoning performance

• #1 on LMArena human preference leaderboard.
• Excels at advanced reasoning benchmarks like GPQA and AIME 2025.
• Achieves 18.8% on Humanity's Last Exam (no tools), representing frontier human-level reasoning.

2. New “thinking model” architecture

• Built with explicit reasoning steps internally before responding.
• Handles complex, multi-stage logic with higher accuracy and fewer hallucinations.

3. Elite science and mathematics capabilities

• Leads in math and science tasks across industry benchmarks.
• High performance without costly inference tricks like majority voting.

4. Exceptional coding abilities

• Major leap over Gemini 2.0 in coding performance.
• 63.8% on SWE-Bench Verified with custom agent setup.
• Strong at code transformation, debugging, and building agentic apps.
• Capable of generating full applications (e.g., a playable video game) from a single-line prompt.

5. Massive multimodal context

• Ships with a 1,000,000 token window (2M coming soon).
• Handles entire documents, datasets, video sequences, audio files, and large codebases.
• Maintains strong performance even at extreme context lengths.

6. Native multimodality across all inputs

• Understands and reasons over text, images, audio, video, and code.
• Designed for real-world, multi-source problem-solving and agent workflows.

7. Consistent high-quality outputs

• Improved post-training results in more accurate, coherent, and stylistically strong responses.
• Higher reliability across complex workloads.

8. Early availability for developers

• Available today in Google AI Studio for experimentation.
• Coming soon to Vertex AI with higher rate limits and production-ready access.
