Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.
Gemini 2.5 Pro is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 38 to 25. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
Gemini 2.5 Pro's sharpest advantage is in reasoning, where it averages 79.9 against 24.9. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is SimpleQA, 24.9% to 81%. DeepSeek V3 does hit back in knowledge, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.
Gemini 2.5 Pro is also the more expensive model on tokens at $1.25 input / $5.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.27 input / $1.10 output per 1M tokens for DeepSeek V3. That is roughly 4.5x on output cost alone. Gemini 2.5 Pro gives you the larger context window at 1M, compared with 128K for DeepSeek V3.
Pick Gemini 2.5 Pro if you want the stronger benchmark profile. DeepSeek V3 only becomes the better choice if knowledge is the priority or you want the cheaper token bill.
