🚀 Gemini 2.5 Pro I/O Preview Is Google’s Best Coding Model Yet

Google dropped Gemini 2.5 Pro I/O Edition ahead of schedule, delivering major upgrades in web dev, UI coding, and agentic workflows. The model now leads key coding benchmarks and introduces new “video-to-code” use cases. It’s available now via the Gemini API and Vertex AI, with no price change.

The Shift:

1. Tops Coding Benchmarks with Web Dev Focus - Gemini 2.5 Pro now ranks #1 on WebDev Arena, outperforming Claude 3.7 Sonnet in UI design and frontend tasks. It also leads junior-dev evals with smarter abstractions and more reliable function calls. Developers at Cognition and Replit are already integrating it for complex programming tasks.

2. Enables Video-to-Code with SOTA Understanding - Scoring 84.8% on VideoMME, the model can now transform YouTube videos into interactive apps. Google’s Video to Learning App demo shows how Gemini 2.5 combines video reasoning with functional UI generation. 

3. Accelerates Feature Development & UI Polish - The model helps devs extract styling from design files and generate CSS for consistent visual design. In demos like the dictation starter app, it shows an ability to build features with responsive layout, hover states, and animation.

4. Seamless Upgrade, Same Price - Gemini 2.5 Pro (05-06) replaces the earlier (03-25) version automatically, no user action required. Error rates in function calling have improved, and trigger precision is higher. The model card has been updated, and performance gains are already live.

Google didn’t wait for I/O to show off, Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview quietly drops as the best frontend coder on the market. With real-world polish, blazing-fast video reasoning, and agentic workflow chops, it’s a dev supertool disguised as a preview.

🎯 How to Use Neurons AI to Supercharge Your Creative Iterations

Neurons AI isn’t just a feedback tool — it’s a creative accelerator. Whether you’re testing visuals, videos, or copy, it gives instant, behavior-backed recommendations so you can iterate with precision.

Here’s how to use it step by step:

✅ Step-by-Step Guide for Using Neurons AI

1. Log in to Neurons Platform: Go to neuronsinc.com and log into your dashboard. If you’re new, book a demo or contact their team to get access.

2. Upload Your Creative Asset: Drop in an image, video, or ad mockup. Neurons supports multiple formats and automatically begins scanning for key elements like text, CTA, layout, and focal points.

3. Confirm Your Ad’s Purpose and Industry: Choose the goal of your creative (e.g. awareness, conversion) and your target vertical (e.g. health, finance, gaming). This lets Neurons apply the correct benchmarks and context.

4. Review the Automatic Breakdown: The AI instantly highlights elements like product placement, text readability, design layout, emotional cues, and attention zones. You’ll see how each part contributes to or hinders performance.

5. Activate AI Recommendations: Click to generate actionable tips. You’ll get copy suggestions, design adjustments, and video edit prompts — all tailored to boost engagement, clarity, and conversion.

6. Use the TL;DR Summary for Team Sharing: Neurons creates a short, plain-language overview of all findings. Share it with stakeholders, creatives, or decision-makers without needing to translate technical data.

7. Iterate and Re-upload: Apply the suggested changes to your creative, then upload the new version for a fresh round of testing. This loop allows fast, data-driven iteration.

With Neurons AI, creative revision cycles go from days to minutes, and every iteration is rooted in real human behavior. You can book a free Demo here!

🎭 HeyGen Avatar IV: Real Expression, One Photo Away

HeyGen just launched Avatar IV, its most advanced avatar model yet, turning one image and a voice into lifelike, expressive video in seconds. Powered by a new audio-to-expression engine, Avatar IV is designed for speed, emotion, and realism, no studio or editing timeline required.

The Shift:

1. One Photo, Real Expression - Avatar IV creates hyper-realistic avatars using just a single photo and voice input. Its diffusion-inspired model captures tone, rhythm, and emotion to generate lifelike expressions like head tilts, pauses, and micro-movements.

2. Built for Instant Video Messages - No complex editing, timelines, or setup, Avatar IV is made for real-time communication. From homepage to generated clip in seconds, it’s ideal for intros, updates, replies, or fast UGC. However, editing is disabled, and usage is credit-limited per plan.

3. Works Across Formats and Faces - It supports full-body, half-body, and portrait videos, plus unique characters like pets or anime-style avatars. Side-angle shots also work, expanding beyond traditional talking-head formats. You can even upload songs, your avatar will sing them back.

4. Ideal for Expressive Content - Use Avatar IV for influencer videos, visual podcasts, singing avatars, and game characters. It mimics real human delivery far better than traditional sync-only models. 

HeyGen is redefining avatar video, from rigid mouth syncs to true-to-life expression. With support for creative formats and zero production overhead, it unlocks new creative workflows for content creators, educators, marketers, and even character-driven storytelling.
