Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview: even better coding performance

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.. it seems like everyone is saying Gemini is better, but I've compared dozens of examples from my work, and Grok has always produced better results.

I haven't tested this release yet, but I found Gemini to be overrated before.

My choice of LLMs was

Coding in cursor: Claude

General questions: Grok, if it fails then Gemini

Deep Research: Gemini (I don't have GPT plus, I heard it's better)

Anecdotally grok has been the worst of the bunch for me.

And supporting the guy gutting the laws of the United States doesn't bother you?

Not everyone is not a racist.

A lot of non-americans have problems with Musk too. Tesla sales are cratering across all of Europe.

so it's ok to support a guy who's gutting the laws of another country if you're not from that country?

Good luck finding a commercial LLM not backed by a corporation with serious ethical issues.

I agree, from my experience Grok gives superior coding results, especially when modifying large sections of the codebase at once such as in refactoring.

Although it’s not for coding, I have noticed Gemini 2.5 pro Deep Research has surpassed Grok’s DeepSearch in thoroughness and research quality however.

Everyone needs to say which programming language they are using

Maybe some LLMs are better for different languages
