Gemini 1.5 Pro (May '24)

Gemini 1.5 Pro (May '24) is an API model from Google. It’s positioned for general text tasks—work that benefits from iteration, not just one-shot answers.

Lower 20% 20th percentile — 20% of models score below this This model Where the current model lands Upper 80% 80th percentile — only 20% of models score above this Percentile boundaries are computed across every model in the tree that reports the underlying benchmark for each capability.

What it feels like

  • First model where 1M-token context was a real product feature, not a benchmark headline
  • 99% needle-in-haystack accuracy at 1M tokens; 99.2% even at 10M in research configurations
  • Multi-needle recall drops to ~60% — single fact retrieval is solid, multi-fact is harder

Best use cases

  • Whole-codebase analysis (30K+ lines) without tedious chunking pipelines
  • Document QA over 1,500-page PDFs / batches of 100 emails
  • Hour-long video summarisation and audio transcription QA

Tools to try

Not ideal for

  • Tasks requiring multi-fact retrieval across long contexts (recall drops sharply)
  • Pure short-context chat — Flash variants are cheaper and faster
