I literally wrote "hello" and got this:

I love how fragmented Google's Gemini offerings are. I'm a Pro subscriber, but I now learn I should be a "Gemini Code Assist Standard or Enterprise" user to get additional usage. I didn't even know that existed! As a run of the mill Google user I get a generous usage tier but paying them specifically for "Gemini" doesn't get me anything when it comes to "Gemini CLI". Delightful!

The other day I was trying to figure out a cost estimate for Gemini 2.5 Pro but they don't have this in their pricing calculator - it just isn't there. Only endless tables with various model sizes and options which aren't explained.

A few days ago I tested Claude Code by completely vibe coding a simple stock tracker web app in streamlit python. It worked incredibly well, until it didn't. Seems like there is a critical project size where it just can't fix bugs anymore. Just tried this with Gemini CLI and the critical project size it works well for seems to be quite a bit bigger. Where claude code started to get lost, I simply told Gemini CLI to "…

At some point, LLMs just get distracted and you might be better off throwing it away and restarting hah.

Got the exact same thing here, using Gemini with an API key.

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.

The thing that had me close it and go back to Claude Code immediately was how often Gemini CLI failed to make file changes. This doesn’t instill confidence at all, with it retrying edits multiple times - who knows what it ends up editing, then.

CC has this issue too, but way less often, and second shot almost always works.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This whole thread is a great example of the developer vs. user convenience trade-off. A single, pre-compiled binary is convenient for the user's first install only.

I don’t think that’s true. For instance, uv is a single, pre-compiled binary, and I can just run `uv self update` to update it to the latest version.

I literally wouldn’t use uv if it weren’t available via pip.

Reasoning: it’s a Python tool, therefore it shouldn’t require anything (any 3rd party package manager) beyond Python.

How can I subscribe to this? From the comments here it sounds like it's NOT bundled into the Gemini Pro subscription, but into "Gemini Code Assist Standard".

I can't find any way to upgrade to a paid plan, is this even possible for individuals, or is it just "free or enterprise"?

/Edit: Okay I went through the Gemini docs. I found that in Google Cloud you can enable Gemini Code Assist Standard and Enterprise for the account

- Standard is $19.00/mo

- Enterprise is $45.00/mo

Difference between the 2 editions: https://cloud.google.com/products/gemini/pricing

How so? Doesn’t it also make updates pretty easy? Have the precompiled binary know how to download the new version. Sure there are considerations for backing up the old version, but it’s not much work, and frees you up from being tied to one specific ecosystem

No, it doesn’t. At work everything is locked down and you either need to have separate mechanism to deliver updates or use pip.

I like it. Yesterday I installed it and let it check some if our udev rules. udevadm verify found some issues, but gemini found much more, and it was much easier to use than Claude.
