Question 1: If the internet were a food, what would it be and why?
Analysis: Both models identify the internet as analogous to a buffet. Gemini 2.0 Flash provides a more elaborate description of why this analogy works, highlighting the key characteristics: diversity, endless choices, the potential for being overwhelmed, and the varying quality of content. While Gemini Experimental 1206 initially offers a more concise answer, the additional context provided in the “Why” section adds further depth. I would call it a draw on this simple question.
Question 2: Should a self-driving car prioritize the safety of a pedestrian or its passenger?
Analysis: This is where the models diverge significantly. Gemini 2.0 Flash provides a direct, albeit simplistic, answer. On the other hand, Gemini Experimental 1206 dives into the ethical complexities, showcasing a deeper understanding of the nuances involved in such a dilemma. It correctly identifies the problem as a variant of the “Trolley Problem” and presents multiple perspectives, making it a far more comprehensive response.
Question 3: Code a ChatGPT Website UI in React.
- Gemini 2.0 Flash’s code is superior in terms of structure, organization, and maintainability. It follows best practices for React development by breaking the UI into smaller, reusable components. This approach makes the code easier to understand, modify, and extend in the long run.
- Gemini Experimental 1206’s code is functional while its single-component approach is simpler for very basic UIs, it doesn’t scale as well as the modular approach.
In the context of building a ChatGPT UI, Gemini 2.0 Flash provides a more robust and scalable foundation. But this is a very small project. When handling larger code base, 1206 performs better. So I would call it a draw here.

Final Thoughts
Based on these tests, Gemini 2.0 Flash appears to be significantly faster than Gemini Experimental 1206, as the “Speed Table” demonstrates. However, speed isn’t everything. Gemini Experimental 1206 provides more in-depth and nuanced answers, particularly when dealing with complex ethical questions, as shown in the self-driving car scenario.
Gemini Experimental 1206 is the Gemini 2.0 Pro
I predict that Gemini Experimental 1206 will be the Gemini 2.0 Pro cause it shares similar traits as Gemini 1.5 Flash vs Pro, but Gemini 2.0 definitely improved hugely since Gemini 1.5 Flash does not even try to answer coding question but now it can generate a good coding for a web UI.
