Gemini 2.5 Pro vs. Claude 3.7 Sonnet: Coding Comparison

Google just launched Gemini 2.5 Pro on March 26th, claiming to be the best in coding, reasoning and overall everything. But I mostly care about how the model compares against the best available coding model, Claude 3.7 Sonnet (thinking), released at the end of February, which I have been using, and it has been a great experience. Let’s compare these two coding models and see if I need to change my favourite coding model or if Claude 3.7 still holds. TL;DR If you want to jump straight to the conclusion, I’d say go for Gemini 2.5 Pro, it’s better at coding, has one million in context window as compared to Claude’s 200k, and you can get it for free (a big plus).
