Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview 06-05
VerifiedGoogle's multimodal model for long-context reasoning across media types.
About Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview 06-05
This preview model continues Google's series of large-scale AI systems focused on multimodality. It processes multiple input formats within a single extended context window. The closed-source design keeps optimization and updates under Google's direct control.
Strengths center on maintaining coherence across very long sequences that mix text with visual and audio data. It handles tasks requiring simultaneous understanding of different modalities without external tool chaining. The architecture supports complex queries that reference earlier parts of extended inputs.
Common applications include enterprise document review combining reports, charts, and recordings. Developers integrate it into systems for audio analysis followed by contextual text generation. It also suits research workflows that need sustained reasoning over large multimodal datasets.

Quick start
OpenRouter's API is OpenAI-compatible — most SDKs work by just swapping the base URL. Only the model slug changes between models.
import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({
baseURL: "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1",
apiKey: process.env.OPENROUTER_API_KEY,
});
const completion = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "google/gemini-2.5-pro-preview",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello!" }],
});
console.log(completion.choices[0].message.content);Model slug: google/gemini-2.5-pro-preview
