âĄïžGoogleâs New Hybrid Reasoning Model?!

Google officially launched âGemini 2.5 Flash,â a small multimodal AI model with reasoning capabilities across text, images, audio, video, and code.
Key Details:
Itâs equipped with a hybrid reasoning engine that allows it to mimic a humanâs decision-making capabilities and problem-solving capacity.
It leverages Chain-of-Thought (CoT) techniques to break down complex problems into manageable sub-problems. Then, it solves each manageable sub-problem and combines each solution into a complete answer.
âGemini 2.5 Flashâ also has a Thinking Budget feature, which enables developers to control the balance between cost, speed, and output quality.
Why Itâs Important:
âGemini 2.5 Flashâ highlights the computational costs of reasoning engines. For instance, developers pay $0.60 per million Tokens with thinking turned off and $3.50 per million Tokens with thinking turned on. Tokens are units of text that represent words, characters, and punctuation.
Thatâs nearly a sixfold price increase between unreasoned outputs and reasoned outputs, where âGemini 2.5 Flashâ evaluates multiple potential methods to solve complex problems.

OpenAI recently unveiled âOpenAI o3â with Agentic capabilities, fueling debates on whether weâve reached AGI.
Key Details:
âOpenAI o3â is a Large Reasoning Model (LRM) designed to imitate a humanâs thought process, with the ability to analyze situations and deduce logical outcomes to generate informed decisions.
In other words, LRMs enable conversational chatbots like ChatGPT to plan, reflect, and reason through inputs before generating outputs.
âOpenAI o3â can also Agentically use, combine, and coordinate every feature within ChatGPT, including Operator and Deep Research.
One of the most impressive achievements is âOpenAI o3âsâ performance on the ARC-AGI benchmark, which evaluates an advanced AI modelâs ability to learn and generalize new skills.
âOpenAI o3â achieved 88% accuracy on the ARC-AGI benchmark, becoming the first advanced AI model to surpass the 85% accuracy threshold required to outperform humans.
It also correctly solved 29 out of 35 of the visual patterns puzzles within 25 minutes on the Mensa Norway IQ Test, achieving an IQ of 132.
These achievements have fueled debates on whether âOpenAI o3â has reached Artificial General Intelligence (AGI): when machines match or exceed the cognitive abilities of humans.
Why Itâs Important:
âIt wipes the floor with humans,â stated American Economist Tyler Cowen. âItâs at or near genius level,â added Biomedical Scientist Derya Unutmaz.
But not everyoneâs onboard, showcasing instances of âOpenAI o3â unable to match names with colors or solve basic trick questions.
