Aider wrote 65% of the code in this release.

Gemini 2.5 Pro set the SOTA on the aider polyglot coding leaderboard with a score of 73%.

This is well ahead of thinking/reasoning models. A huge jump from prior Gemini models. The first Gemini model to effectively use efficient diff-like editing formats.
