We Have Tested Gemini 2.5 for You
Google's new model put to the legal test: 1 million token context, native multimodality and advanced reasoning.
Google Gemini 2.5 Pro represents the culmination of several years of research at Google DeepMind. With its one million token context window and native multimodal capabilities, it promises to revolutionize document analysis. We tested it intensively in a demanding legal context.
Central question of our test: Can Gemini 2.5 become the versatile assistant for lawyers? Here's our detailed analysis.
Technical Specifications
- • 1 million tokens context window (≈ 750,000 words)
- • Native multimodal: text, images, PDF, audio, video
- • Average latency: 2-4 seconds for complex queries
- • Knowledge cutoff: data up to end of 2025
The Context Revolution: Analyzing Hundreds of Pages
The most impressive feature of Gemini 2.5 Pro is its ability to ingest and analyze large documents in one go. Where GPT-4 is limited to about 128,000 tokens, Gemini accepts eight times more.
In practice, this means being able to load:
- A complete M&A contract with all its annexes
- A litigation file including briefs, exhibits and case law
- Several hundred pages of due diligence in a single session
- An entire code for regulatory analysis
Multimodality: Beyond Text
Gemini 2.5 doesn't just read text. It can analyze scanned documents, charts and tables, handwritten annotations, and images for intellectual property analysis.
Our Final Verdict
Gemini 2.5 Pro is a remarkable tool for large-scale document analysis. Its record context window and native multimodality make it a valuable ally for M&A operations, due diligences and complex case analysis.
However, it's not a specialized legal tool. It should be combined with solutions like Harvey or Lexis AI+ for tasks requiring integrated legal expertise.
