While I get my organization's IT department involved, I do wonder why this is built in a way that requires more work for people already paying google money than a free user.
I really wish these AI companies would STOP innovating until they work out how to let us “download all files” on the chat page. We are now three years into the AI revolution and they are still forcing us to copy and paste and click click crazy to get the damn files out. STOP innovating. STOP the features. Form a team of 500 of your best developers. Allocate a year and a billion dollar budget. Get all those Ai super s…

Yea, i'm not even really interested in Gemini atm because last i tried 2.5 Pro it was really difficult to shape behavior. It would be too wordy, or offer too many comments, etc - i couldn't seem to change some base behaviors, get it to focus on just one thing. Which is surprising because at first i was ready to re-up my Google life. I've been very anti-Google for ages, but at first 2.5 Pro looked so good that i felt…
> It would be too wordy, or offer too many comments Wholeheartedly agree. Both when chatting in text mode or when asking it to produce code. The verbosity of the code is the worse. Comments often longer than the actual code, every nook and cranny of an algorithm unrolled over 100's of lines, most of which unnecessary. Feels like typical code a mediocre Java developer would produce in the early 2000's
So, google's codebase

Google is fumbling the bag so badly with the pricing. Gemini 2.5 Pro is the best model I've used (even better than o3 IMO) and yet there's no simple Claude/Cursor like subscription to just get full access. Nevermind Enterprise users too, where OpenAI has it locked up.
I wouldn't dream of thinking anyone has anything "locked up". Certainly not OpenAI which increasingly seems to be on an uphill battle against competitors (including Microsoft who even though they're a partner, are also a competitor) who have other inroads. Not sure what you mean by "full access", as none of the providers offer unrestricted usage. Pro gets you 2.5 Pro with usage limits. Ultra gets you higher limits +…
A bit gutted by the `make sure it is not a workspace account`. What's wrong with Google prioritising free accounts vs paid accounts? This is not the first time they have done it when announcing Gemini, too.
> To use Gemini CLI free-of-charge, simply login with a personal Google account to get a free Gemini Code Assist license. That free license gets you access to Gemini 2.5 Pro and its massive 1 million token context window. To ensure you rarely, if ever, hit a limit during this preview, we offer the industry’s largest allowance: 60 model requests per minute and 1,000 requests per day at no charge. If it sounds too good…
Whoa. Who at Google thought providing this as an example of how to test your API key was a good idea? https://imgur.com/ZIZkLU7 This is shown at the top of the screen in https://aistudio.google.com/apikey as the suggested quick start for testing your API key out. Not a great look. I let our GCloud TAM know. But still.
I have been using this for about a month and it’s a beast, mostly thanks to 2.5pro being SOTA and also how it leverages that huge 1M context window. Other tools either preemptively compress context or try to read files partially. I have thrown very large codebases at this and it has been able to navigate and learn them effortlessly.
