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.

Hi - I integrated Apple Container on M1 to run[1] the code generated by Gemini CLI. It works great! 1. CodeRunner - https://github.com/BandarLabs/coderunner/tree/main?tab=readm...

If you're looking for a fully open source, LLM-agnostic alternative to Claude Code and Gemini CLI, check out OpenHands: https://docs.all-hands.dev/usage/how-to/cli-mode

Or aider. In any case, while top llms will likely remain proprietary for some time, there is no reason for these tools to be closed source or tied to a particular llm vendor.

> 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 to be true, it probably is. What’s the catch? How/why is this free?

Whoa. Who at Google thought providing this as an example of how to test your API key was a good idea?

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.

Oh hey, afaik all of this LLM traffic goes through my service!

Set up not too long ago, and afaik pretty load-bearing for this. Feels great, just don’t ask me any product-level questions. I’m not part of the Gemini CLI team, so I’ll try to keep my mouth shut.

Not going to lie, I’m pretty anxious this will fall over as traffic keeps climbing up and up.

Anthropic is the same. Unless it has changed within the last few months, you can subscribe to Claude but if you want to use Claude Code it'll come out of your "API usage" bucket which is billed separately than the subscription. Some jerk has learned that we prefer CLI things and has come to the conclusion that we should therefore pay extra for them. Workaround is to use their GUI with some MCPs but I dislike it becau…

AFAIK, Claude code operates on your subscription, no? That's what this support page says https://support.anthropic.com/en/articles/11145838-using-cla... Could have changed recently. I'm not a user so I can't verify.

In recent research (relying on Claude so bear that in mind), connecting CC via Anthropic Console account / API key ends up being less expensive.

Hi, Thanks for this work. currently it seems these are the CLI tools available. Is it possible to extend or actually disable some of these tools (for various reasons)? > Available Gemini CLI tools: - ReadFolder - ReadFile - SearchText - FindFiles - Edit - WriteFile - WebFetch - ReadManyFiles - Shell - Save Memory - GoogleSearch

I also work on the product :-)

You can also extend with the Extensions feature - https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/main/docs/e...

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!

This is simply not true. All personal paid packages include Claude Code now.
