By skyforbes I’ve been using Gemini 2.5 Pro for my workflow, but now it's gone. My setup relies on summarizing ~30 pages of text at a time for academic purposes, and I need the highest-quality, most “intelligent” summaries possible (deep reasoning, accurate distillation, capturing nuance, etc.).
I’m considering which model should i switch to now that 2.5 pro is not available. I can use free DeepSeek models, either DeepSeek V3.2 or DeepSeek R1. Or I can use Gemini 2.5 Flash.
Which one do you think suits the best for my workflow?
Are there any other models (accessible via OpenRouter or free tiers) that performs better then my cited options for long, high-precision summarization?
Any insights, benchmarks, or experience would really help. Thanks!
