Nice, without this thread I would never have known Gemini 3 released today. Going to download Gemini CLI right now™ and see how it performs™ against Cursor, Claude Code, Aider, OpenCode, Droid, Warp, Devin, and ForgeCode.

#22Wow, so excited to try! > gemini It seems like you don't have access to Gemini 3. Learn more at https://goo.gle/enable-preview-features To disable Gemini 3, disable "Preview features" in /settings. • 1. Switch to gemini-2.5-pro • 2. Stop Note: You can always use /model to select a different option. Google never disappoints with their half-ass-launches.
In an ideal world, this workaround would not be needed
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I believe this is because you are logged in. You can generate a free API key (with very low limits) through Google AI Studio and use that to test it. In an ideal world, this workaround would not be needed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Re: 5 Things to Try with Gemini 3 Pro in Gemini CLI
#26Has anyone switched to Gemini CLI? It's so important but also exhausting keeping up with which model is the leading edge. Especially since every model has different idiosyncrasies you have to learn to work with it effectively. Currently my ranking is * Cursor composer: impressively fast and able but not tuned to be that agentic, so it's better for one-shot code changes than long-running tasks. Fantastic UI. * Claude…
I haven't tried Gemini CLI with Gemini 3 Pro, but pretty much all the others. I usually run four agents at the same time, for each task, giving them the same prompt and then comparing their responses. Gemini CLI has the lowest rate limits, lowest inability to steer the models (not sure that's a model or tooling thing, but I cannot get any of the Google models to stop outputting code comments constantly and everywhere…
For Gemini 3.0, the rate limits are very very generous. Google says rate limits refresh every five hours, and that only “a very small fraction of power users” will ever hit the limits.

#28I don't like Javascript for CLI. I think OpenAI did the right thing by switching to Rust.

Considering a lot of people will be using Gemini on fullstack or frontend applications, it doesn't make sense to write the CLI in Rust and integrate with JS/TS separately, as opposed to writing it in TypeScript so that you can directly work with packages within the ecosystem designed for that ecosystem.
