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.

To note, this functionality is currently only available in Google AI Studio.

According to Google, the AI model can be connected with an integrated development environment (IDE) and inspect components to match style properties such as colours, fonts, padding, margins, and more.

It is worth noting that developers can access and begin vibe coding with the updated Gemini 2.5 Pro model in the Gemini application programming interface (API) via Google AI Studio and Vertex AI.
