Gemini 2.5 Pro is the highest ranking model on the aider benchmarks leaderboard.

For benchmarks, either Gemini writes code that adheres to the required edit format, builds successfully, and passes unit tests, or it doesn't.

I primarily use aider + 2.5 pro for planning/spec files, and occasionally have it do file edits directly. Works great, other than stopping it mid-execution once in a while.
