Can it use Claude sub or Gemini free tier the same way Gemini CLI does?

It's a lot more nuanced than that. If you use the free edition of Code Assist, your data can be used UNLESS you opt out, which is at the bottom of the support article you link to: "If you don't want this data used to improve Google's machine learning models, you can opt out by following the steps in Set up Gemini Code Assist for individuals." and then the link: https://developers.google.com/gemini-code-assist/docs/se…
your data can be used UNLESS you opt out It's even more nuanced than that. Google recently testified in court that they still train on user data after users opt out from training [1]. The loophole is that the opt-out only applies to one organization within Google, but other organizations are still free to train on the data. They may or may not have cleaned up their act given that they're under active investigation, b…
We need to stop giving money and data to hyperscalers.
We need open infrastructure and models.

How does its CLI mode compare to Claude Code and Gemini CLI?
Re: Gemini CLI
#404Definitely not as nice as using Cline or Kilo Code within VS Code - one thing I ran into right away was that I wanted it to compare the current repo/project it was started in with another repo/project in a different directory. It won't do that:" I cannot access files using relative paths that go outside of my designated project directory". I can do that in KiloCode for sure and it's been pretty handy.
Re: Gemini CLI
#405Gemini CLI wanted to run `git log` and I accidentally hit "Yes, you can call git without confirmation" and I just realized the AI may decide to git push or something like that on it's own.
How do I reset permissions so it always asks again for `git` invocations?
Thanks!

Yeah, this just seems like a pain in the ass that could've been easily avoided.
From my perspective, I'm totally happy to use pnpm to install and manage this. Even if it were a native tool, NPM might be a decent distribution mechanism (see e.g. esbuild). Obviously everybody's requirements differ, but Node seems like a pretty reasonable platform for this.
Also throwing Volta (written in Rust, because of course it is) into the ring. It's the uv of the Node world.

#408If 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... When you use Gemini Code Assist for individuals, Google collects your prompts, related code, generated output, code edits, related feature usage information, and your feedback to provide, improve, and develop Google products and services and machine learning technologies.

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…
For coding in my experience Claude Sonnet/Opus 4.0 is hands down better than Gemini 2.5. pro. I just end up fighting with Claude a lot less than I do with Gemini. I had Gemini start a project that involved creating a recursive descent parser for a language in C. It was full of segfaults. I'd ask Gemini to fix them and it would end up breaking something else and then we'd get into a loop. Finally I had Claude Sonnet 4.0 take a look at the code that Gemini had created. It fixed the segfaults in short order and was off adding new features - even anticipating features that I'd be asking for.
Re: Gemini CLI
#409Gemini is by far the most confusing product of all time. The paid version for it is available in 3 forms: 1. Gemini pro (which gets you more google drive storage and some form of access to veo so people obviously get that) 2. Google AI studio, just to piss off redmond devs and which is used by no one outside google 3. This CLI, which has its own plan. Then there are 3rd party channels, if you have a recent samsung ph…
The positive side is, there's a ton of free offerings you can pick up. Google workspace has one, ai studio has, deepmind etc etc

Another dimension here is that any "we don't train on your data" is useless without a matching data retention policy which deletes your data. Case and point of 23andMe not selling your data until they decided to change that policy.
Google offers a user-configurable retention policy for all data.

That said, once your data is inside an LLM, you can't really unscramble the omelette.
