Spegel: A LLM-Powered Terminal based Web Browser
Spegel proves that browsers can become mere IO adapters once LLMs own the rendering pipeline. By treating Gemini 2.5 Pro Lite as a real-time markup engine, Simondw rewinds the web back to text—but under your prompt’s control. It’s a weekend hack with rough edges (no POST, potential token costs) , yet the idea unlocks CLI dashboards, context-aware docs, and accessibility tweaks without touching site code.
Key Insights
- Spegel pipes raw HTML through Gemini 2.5 Pro Lite, rendering concise Markdown inside your terminal.
- Dynamic prompt-based “views”—ELI5, action-only, recipe-extract—adapt content on the fly.
- No JavaScript; GET-only fetches today, with POST forms on the roadmap.
- Textual-powered TUI streams complete lines to maintain Markdown stability.
- MIT-licensed on GitHub—fork it, tweak prompts, share views.
Gemini 2.5 Pro and Flash from Google go GA
Google has officially advanced its Gemini 2.5 model lineup as of June 17, 2025: both Gemini 2.5 Pro and Gemini 2.5 Flash are now stable and generally available, while Gemini 2.5 Flash‑Lite enters public preview. Pro offers top-tier reasoning, multimodal understanding, coding capabilities, and handles up to a 1 million-token context—ideal for complex, mission-critical tasks. Flash strikes a balance of speed, cost-efficiency, and robust reasoning, with simplified pricing at $0.30 per million input and $2.50 per million output tokens. Flash‑Lite is the fastest and most economical option, optimized for high-throughput tasks like translation and classification, with reasoning off by default and support for tool use. All three models share the million-token context window, adaptive “thinking” control, and grounding via Google Search, code execution, function-calling, and multimodality—all accessible via Gemini app, AI Studio, Vertex AI, and more.
Here are some key features across the Gemini 2.5 models:
- Hybrid Reasoning Models: Designed to provide excellent performance while being efficient in terms of cost and speed.
- “Thinking” Capabilities: Models can reason through their thoughts before responding, which leads to improved accuracy. Developers have control over the “thinking budget” to balance performance and cost.
- Native Multimodality: Understands and processes inputs across various modalities including text, images, audio, and video.
- Long Context Window: Features a 1 million-token context length, allowing them to comprehend vast datasets and handle complex problems from different information sources.
- Tool Integration: Can connect to tools like Google Search and code execution.
Gemini 2.5 Pro:
- Most Advanced Model: Excels at coding and highly complex tasks.
- Enhanced Reasoning: State-of-the-art in key math and science benchmarks.
- Advanced Coding: Capable of generating code for web development tasks and creating interactive simulations.
Gemini 2.5 Flash:
- Fast Performance: Optimized for everyday tasks and large-scale processing.
- Cost-Efficient: Balances price and performance.
- Live API Native Audio: Offers high-quality, natural conversational audio outputs with enhanced voice quality and adaptability, including features like Proactive Audio and Affective Dialog.
Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite:
- Most Cost-Efficient and Fastest: Designed for high-volume, latency-sensitive tasks like translation and classification.
- Higher Quality: Outperforms 2.0 Flash-Lite on coding, math, science, reasoning, and multimodal benchmarks.
- Lower Latency: Offers lower latency compared to 2.0 Flash-Lite and 2.0 Flash for a broad range of prompts.
