New Gemini 2.5 Flash (05-20)

Can we get the new Gemini 2.5 Flash update on Cursor? Or is it automatically routing to the latest one under the old name? Thanks!

Yes, I like gemini 2.5 flash already. And the new one is supposedly better. Please add that.

Is Gemini 2.5 Flash already accessible in the API?

yes - Gemini models  |  Gemini API  |  Google AI for Developers

Thanks for the link. The Cursor team will have to check and update us once they add the model or redirect.

Yes please, can we have this? The existing version is already pretty decent at doing small multi-file edits (as compared to deepseek or 4o-mini which are not usable). I think many people would / could actually use this and significantly reduce their usage of small tweaks to an original generation by Claude Sonnet.

The Curor team is aware and they have their processes. As they know that people want the update we have to wait until they test it, make adjustments where necessary and announce it.

Yesterday was also a scheduled release for Claude 4 which also needed adjustments so they were quite busy.

I ask all of us for a bit of patience, The flash 05-20 update is going to come :slight_smile: and its not a huge new update of the model like 2.0 to 2.5.

Note that with any model change you may need to check your prompts and adjust things as the AI providers change behavior and sometimes this breaks things.

Is this implemented by now? What’s the update?

Saw regular users posting already about 05-20, may have to re-check.

I don’t have it here in the UK yet.

You can use your API key to access this right now.

Don’t mind me asking - is there a particular reason why it hasn’t been added as an option to be used as part of the plan to replace the existing model? Or is it more a matter of time + testing that needs to be done before the update?

Why not integrate it directly into Cursor?

I’m thinking it behaves differently than the old 2.5 Flash, and so the tool calls and edits aren’t working well with the integration they had before. They’re probably still tuning some things like the system prompt to get it working well as before.
