>this lets you use Gemini 2.5 Pro for free with generous usage limits Considering that access is limited to the countries on the list [0], I wonder what motivated their choices, especially since many Balkan countries were left out.

I have never had a luck with using Gemini. I had a pretty good app create with CODEX. Due to the hype I thought let me give Gemini a try. I asked it find all way to improve security and architecture / design. sure enough it gave a me a list of components etc that didn’t match best patterns and practices. So I let it refactor the code. It Fucked up the entire repot. It hard coded tenant ids and used ids, it completely…
> Set me back 2 weeks of work. How did this happen? Did you let the agent loose without first creating its own git worktree?
Gemini-CLI on Termux does not work anymore. Gemini itself found a way to fix the problem, but I did not totally grok what it was going to do. It insisted my Termux was old and rotten.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I had a terrible first impression with Gemini CLI a few months ago when it was released because of the constant 409 errors. With Gemini 3 release I decided to give it another go, and now the error changed to: "You've reached the daily limit with this model", even though I have an API key with billing set up. It wouldn't let me even try Gemini 3 and even after switching to Gemini 2.5 it would still throw this error af…
I had to make a new API key. My old one got stuck with this error; it's on Google's end. New key resolved immediately.
Gemini CLI sucks. Just use Opencode if you have to use Gemini. They need to rebuild the CLI just as OAI did with Codex.
BTW Gemini 3 via Copilot doesn't currently work in Opencode: https://github.com/sst/opencode/issues/4468
A lot of times Gemini models will get stuck in a loop of errors in a lot of times it fails to edit/read or other simple function calling it's really really terrible at agentic stuff
Not so much with Gemini 3 Pro (which came out a few days ago)... to the point that the loop detection that they built into gemini-cli (to fight that) almost always over-detects, thinking that Gemini 3 Pro is looping when it in fact isn't. Haven't had it fail at tool calls either.

> To use OpenCode, you’ll need: > A modern terminal emulator like: > WezTerm, cross-platform > Alacritty, cross-platform > Ghostty, Linux and macOS > Kitty, Linux and macOS What's wrong with any terminal? Are those performance gains that important when handling a TUI? :-( Edit: Also, I don't see Gemini listed here: https://opencode.ai/docs/providers/ Only Google Vertex AI (?): https://opencode.ai/docs/providers/#goog…
Gemini 3 via any provider except Copilot should work in Opencode.
