In a blog post, Google detailed the updated large language model, claiming that with improved code understanding, the Gemini 2.5 Pro (I/O edition) can even build interactive web apps from scratch.

Moreover, the model can perform other complex coding tasks, like code transformation, code editing, and developing complex agentic workflows.
