The 2.0 family is affordable and has large context windows. I feel like price/performance of these models is great for at scale usage.

After trying out Gemini 2.5 Pro experimental 03-25 yesterday on a real couple of hours project it will be my go-to model rather than Claude from now on. It took me a large number of iterations, a false start but I managed to get something working in the end. For that problem nothing came close.

thanks for the writeup

i've tried it on a couple things, so far really good, and 1M context, 66k output is epic. new deepseek appeared promising but seems like there's issues serving it. wonder what the pricing will eventually be on 2.5? feels like a notable step up over the already good 2.0 family.

Thanks for the notes! Ran it through 40 minutes of @appstories.macstories.net and thoroughly impressed with the transcription quality. Timestamps seem accurate too.

had issues with the 64k output limit though, it stopped generating somewhere around 38-40k tokens
