✨ Gemini 2.5 Pro vs. Claude 3.7 Sonnet Coding Comparison 🔥

Shrijal Acharya on March 30, 2025

Google just launched a new model on March 26th which they claim to be the best on coding, reasoning and overall everything. 🥴 But I mostly care on ...

Love the short, sweet intro to Gemini 2.5. Yes, this is a beast of a model.

Google's been killing it recently with such solid models, previously with the Gemma 3 27B model, a super lightweight model with unbelievable results, and now with this beast of a model, Gemini 2.5 Pro.

Agree 100% on the Gemini 2.5. Haven't tried out Gemma.

Good to hear that. BTW, if you want to try Gemma 3 out locally, you might find this repository of mine that helps to set up LLMs on a VM helpful.

Thank you. I don't use it locally. I use it in the AI studio.

I really appreciate how you explained all the information smartly. We are waiting for your further blogs. We are also looking for information about aquarius and taurus compatibility to clarify how gemstones can have specific effects on our lives. We request you to please visit our website and give suggestions and feedback. And the wait continues for your coming blog.

Nice comparison. Gemini 2.5 is a poor option for UI dev, maybe it's still experimental, that's why. The couple of times I tried to generate components using Tailwind, it did a terrible job. Either the layout looked broken, or it was too basic.

Claude Sonnet 3.5 still seems to be the best, in one-shot or just a few tweaks, it can generate great frontend code. I prefer backend. I write 90% of that myself, so probably Gemini might do better there, but as a replacement for Claude on the frontend side, not anytime soon.

Surely, that could be the case. Gemini 2.5 performed quite well in these tests. I haven't really tested it on the UI side with Tailwind and all that, but I can't agree more on how good Claude 3.5/7 is with backend stuffs. It's awesome. Thank you, Kevin! I'm glad you took the time to read this one!

upload it a bit of context and it does not. I had the issue with plantuml diagrams and threw it 200K tokens of pdf documentation on the context as pdf and kaboom: most problems are gone

Stunning results. It's really hard to catch up with constant updates of all the LLMs.
Just experimented with the improved image generation in ChatGPT.

Thanks again for sharing your results. I really like the flight sim one by Gemini2.5!

Completely understand that with so many LLMs, it's hard to keep up with the updates.
And thank you for checking it out, Benny! 🔥
