The Trae platform has unveiled its latest update, integrating Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview (I/O version)—a move set to redefine front-end development and UI design. This upgrade arms developers with cutting-edge tools, positioning Trae as a frontrunner in AI-driven web application development.

Benchmark Dominance Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview now tops the WebDev Arena ranking, boasting an Elo score of 1443—a 35-point leap from its predecessor. It outperforms rivals like Claude 3.7 Sonnet and GPT-4.1 in human-evaluated tests focused on creating visually stunning, functional web apps. Developers praise its prowess in code generation, UI design, and responsive layouts.

Beyond aesthetics, the model excels in code conversion, editing workflows, and complex tasks like video understanding (scoring 84.8% on VideoMME) and reasoning challenges (Aider Polyglot, GPQA). Its ability to craft interactive apps from single prompts is reshaping developer workflows.
