In a recent announcement, Google has revealed its cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) model, Gemini 2.5. Despite OpenAI’s ChatGPT maintaining a commanding 43% presence in the AI market, Google’s new AI model has managed to secure a formidable position in the leaderboard for AI-powered web development tools.
On March 25, Google invited developers to experiment with Gemini 2.5 Pro. This advanced AI model is designed as a cognitive model that carefully considers its responses. According to Google, such a design enhances both precision and efficiency, particularly in tasks related to coding, science, and mathematics. Google also stated that Gemini 2.5 could accommodate more context-sensitive agents.
Based on data collected by AI benchmarking platform LMArena, Google’s Gemini 2.5 topped the leaderboard in areas such as reasoning and knowledge, science and mathematics. Google touts Gemini 2.5 as its “smartest AI model to date”.
Google’s latest model secured second place in LMArena’s WebDev leaderboard, a live AI coding competition where models are put through web development tests created by the AI benchmarking platform. The AI model achieved an arena score of 1267.70, outperforming competitors like DeepSeek, Grok, and ChatGPT. Nonetheless, the first position was claimed by Anthropic’s AI model Claude 3.7 Sonnet, with an arena score of 1354.01.
Despite the rising competition, OpenAI’s ChatGPT continues to lead the AI tools market. In 2024, this AI chatbot logged over 40 billion annual visits, indicating nearly 40% market share. According to data from AI statistics and usage trends platform aitools.xyz, the AI tools market witnessed a total of 101 billion visits in the same year. Canva’s AI generator followed in second place, with 10.4 billion visits, securing a 10.25% market share.
Recently, new competitors have surfaced in the AI tools market. The data in February revealed that DeepSeek’s AI tools have seen a surge in popularity, currently ranking third with a 6.58% market share. Despite this, ChatGPT still holds its ground, with a 43% market share in February and 5.2 billion monthly visits.
