Decision reading
Gemini 2.5 Pro has the higher public score, 57.12 versus 3.93, and the 90% score intervals do not overlap.
1 results are shared. Category rows resting on Estimated evidence or different benchmark sets are marked directional and do not name a winner.
Share or export
Recommendations appear only when a shared evidence basis or an explicit operating constraint supports the call. Secondary and unsupported use cases stay disclosed below the initial list.

Gemini 2.5 Pro
Gemini 2.5 Pro leads on the public coding lane, 31.7 to 29.7, with Supported evidence for both models, although the 90% intervals overlap.

Not enough matched evidence
Gemini 2.5 Pro and Laguna M.1 are scored on Estimated evidence for agentic, so the reading is directional rather than like-for-like.

Shared results can support a head-to-head reading. Results present for only one model describe coverage, not superiority.
2 categories rest on Estimated evidence or different evidence sets. Those rows remain visible for coverage context but do not name a winner.
Each row shows the public-lane category score for both models: the BenchAlign lane for agentic, coding, and knowledge, and the weighted public rows elsewhere, with the same rank each model page reports. A row is like-for-like only when both scores rest on Supported evidence or the same weighted set. Directional and not-comparable rows remain visible, but they never receive a winner.

Ranks count the models scored in each category’s lane, so the agentic, coding, and knowledge denominators (BenchAlign) differ from the provisional-lane categories. Unranked scores sit on the lane’s scale but never name a winner. Like-for-like rows within 0.5 points read as a practical tie.
Only shared public evidence is shown. Sparse evidence stays a ruled list rather than being closed into a radar shape.
Too few matched category axes support a radar. The ruled list below shows only shared benchmark results; positions use each benchmark’s normalized display scale when available.

Three fixed token mixes turn per-token rates into comparable decisions. Each scenario states context fit and whether cached input had to fall back to the published list-input rate.
1K fresh input + 500 output tokens
Laguna M.1 has no comparable published API token rate.
50K fresh input + 3K output tokens
Laguna M.1 has no comparable published API token rate.
200K cached + 20K fresh input + 10K output tokens
Laguna M.1 has no comparable published API token rate.
Sourced differences are shown directly. Missing facts stay explicit instead of being inferred from a model name or family.
Maximum documented context; output-token limits may be lower.

Gemini 2.5 Pro has the higher public score, 57.12 versus 3.93, and the 90% score intervals do not overlap. That is the clearest overall quality signal in the current public data.
Gemini 2.5 Pro leads the public coding lane, 31.7 to 29.7, with Supported evidence for both models, although the 90% intervals overlap.
Gemini 2.5 Pro scores higher for agentic tasks on the public lane, 47.7 to 23.9. Gemini 2.5 Pro and Laguna M.1 are scored on Estimated evidence for agentic tasks, so the reading is directional rather than like-for-like. BenchLM does not name a winner for agentic tasks from a directional reading; read the shared benchmark rows directly and test the models on the same task set.
Both models do not have comparable published API token rates, so this page does not name a universal price winner.
Gemini 2.5 Pro has the larger documented context window: 1M, compared with 256K.
