### 1. Chatbot Arena Performance

Gemini-Exp-1206 has demonstrated impressive performance by achieving an Arena score of `1377`, **<span style={{color: '#03A9F4'}}>surpassing ChatGPT-4o's score of `1366`</span>**.

It excels at handling hard prompts, effectively managing complex queries that require nuanced and detailed responses. Moreover, Gemini-Exp-1206 is adept at generating style-controlled output, allowing it to adjust tone, structure, and content to meet specific user needs. Furthermore, it performs well in multi-turn dialogues, maintaining contextual awareness and memory to navigate sustained conversations with ease.

### 2. Domain-Specific Rankings

| Domain | Capabilities |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Coding** | Excels at offering optimized code suggestions and effective debugging solutions, streamlining development processes |
| **Mathematics** | Ability to solve complex and advanced problems with precision |
| **Creative Writing** | Shows remarkable originality and adaptability, producing content that is both engaging and inventive |

Additionally, it excels in instruction following, being able to deliver clear, concise, and step-by-step guidance. Compared to its predecessor `Gemini-Exp-1114`, the `1206` version shows a lower margin of error and higher reliability. However, it still lags behind ChatGPT-4 in terms of stability during extensive public testing.

## What sets Gemini-Exp-1206 apart?

### Massive Context Window

Gemini-exp-1206 has a `2,097,152 token` context window, significantly larger than most publicly available LLMs. This allows the model to:

- Process and understand extremely long pieces of text
- Maintain context across extensive documents
- Handle large codebases more effectively
- Tackle complex reasoning tasks with a broader range of information

### Advanced Alignment Techniques

Gemini-Exp-1206 benefits from enhanced reinforcement learning (RL) processes. This fine-tuning enables it to generate responses that align closely with user expectations while maintaining coherence across lengthy interactions.

### Free Access

Google has made Gemini-exp-1206 freely available through Google AI Studio and the Gemini API. Some developers have turned away from `gpt-o1` and are using `gemini-exp-1206` instead of paying for the ChatGPT Pro subscription. This accessibility allows developers and researchers to experiment with and integrate cutting-edge AI capabilities without cost barriers.

# How Gemini-Exp-1206 Compares With Other Models

### 1. Gemini vs OpenAI’s GPT-4 and o1

Gemini-Exp-1206 surpasses GPT-4 in categories like hard prompts and creative tasks. However, GPT-4 leads in stability and widespread adoption, with over 21,000 user votes compared to Gemini’s 5,000 in evaluations such as the Chatbot Arena leaderboard. Developers reported that Gemini-exp-1206 is notably faster in generating responses compared to openAI o1 and has a significantly larger context window.

### 2. Gemini vs Meta’s Llama 3.3

Meta's Llama 3.3, <a href="https://www.helicone.ai/blog/meta-llama-3-3-70-b-instruct" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the newest open-source model</a> also released in December 2024, excels in cost-efficiency and inference speed. While impressive, Llama 3.3 70B ranks slightly lower as it performs similarly to GPT-4o on some benchmarks.

Gemini-Exp-1206 outshines it in advanced reasoning and task generalization. While Gemini-exp-1206 currently holds an edge in overall performance and multimodal capabilities, Llama 3.3 70B has impressive results for an open-source model, particularly as a cost-effective local deployment option.
