Earlier quoted context omitted.

This court decision begs to differ: https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/openai-appeal...

That bears no relation to OpenAI using data for training purposes. Although the court’s decision is problematic, user data is being kept for legal purposes only, and OpenAI is not authorized to use it to train its models.

you must be naive to think OpenAI does not train on your data, Altman is infamous for deceiving claims.

Hi - I work on this. Uptake is a steep curve right now, spare a thought for the TPUs today. Appreciate all the takes so far, the team is reading this thread for feedback. Feel free to pile on with bugs or feature requests we'll all be reading.

Does it have LSP (language server) support? How should I think of this as different from Aider?

Is the CLI ideal for coding assistants, or is the real draw using Anthropic models in their pure, unmediated form?

Please, for the love of God, stop your models always answering with essays or littering code with tutorial style comments. Almost every task devolves into "now get rid of the comments". It seems impossible to prevent this.

And thinking is stupid. "Show me how to generate a random number in python"... 15s later you get an answer.

If you use this, all of your code data will be sent to Google. From their terms: https://developers.google.com/gemini-code-assist/resources/p...

To be honest this is by far the most frustrating part of the Gemini ecosystem, to me. I think 2.5 pro is probably the best model out there right now, and I'd love to use it for real work, but their privacy policies are so fucking confusing and disjointed that I just assume there is no privacy whatsoever. And that's with the expensive Pro Plus Ultra MegaMax Extreme Gold plan I'm on. I hope this is something they're wo…

If I'm being cynical, it's easy to either say "we use it" or "we don't touch it" but they'd lose everyone that cares about this question if they just said "we use it" - most beneficial position is to keep it as murky as possible.

If I were you I'd assume they're using all of it for everything forever and act accordingly.

They have to do that, it's how they think. If they were trained not to do that they'd produce lower quality code.

This is all very cool, but I hate to be the "look at the shiny lights" guy... How did they do that pretty "GEMINI" gradient in the terminal? is that a thing we can do nowadays? It doesn't seem to be some blocky gradient where each character is a different color. It's a true gradient. (yes I'm aware this is likely a total clone of claude code, but still am curious about the gradient)

Look at the package.json inside the CLI folder https://www.npmjs.com/package/ink-gradient

In my own experience, 2.5 Pro 03-26 was by far the best LLM model at the time.

The newer models are quantized and distilled (I confirmed this with someone who works on the team), and are a significantly worse experience. I prefer OpenAI O3 and o4-mini models to Gemini 2.5 Pro for general knowledge tasks, and Sonnet 4 for coding.

Thanks so much for this! I’d really appreciate a more consumer oriented subscription offering, similar to Claude Max, that combines Gemini CLI (with IP compliance) and the Gemini app (extra points for API access too!).

this seems to be the number one topic in this thread
