Gemini 2.5 Pro has the largest context window of any frontier model. GPT-5 has the most polished tool-use. Which matters more depends on your prompt—run them both side by side and find out.
Gemini: For this 200k-token document, the right approach is a single full-context pass with structured-output enforcement.
GPT-5: A single pass risks losing precision in the middle. I'd chunk and re-summarize with explicit citations.
Verdict: Gemini's approach is correct if precision in the middle isn't critical. GPT-5's is safer if it is.
Context length is one axis. There are others.
Gemini 2.5 Pro handles million-token contexts well. GPT-5 still tops out lower.
GPT-5 has the smoothest agentic behavior in production. Gemini is rapidly catching up.
The right model is prompt-dependent. The judge tells you which won on yours.
