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.

F for the TPUs.

Hi cperry - do you have an idea of when Gemini 2.5 live API will make GA? I saw a new GA label was created last week.

> having a mechanism like npm or pip or whatever to automatically handle that is probably easier Re-running `cargo install ` will do that. Or install `cargo-update`, then you can bulk update everything. And it works hella better than using pip in a global python install (you really want pipx/uvx if you're installing python utilities globally). IIRC you can install Go stuff with `go install`, dunno if you can update v…

Not even "cargo install" is needed. Just `wget -O ~/.local/bin/gemini-cli https://ci.example.com/assets/latest/gemini-cli ` (Or the CURL version thereof) It can pick the file off github, some CI's assets, a package repo, a simple FTP server, an HTTP fileserver, over SSH, from a local cache, etc. It's so simple that one doesn't need a package manager. So there commonly is no package manager. Yet in this tread people a…

> is so simple, that you don't need a package manager!

You might not know the reason ppl use package managers. Installing this "simple" way make it quite difficult to update and remove compared to using package managers. And although they are also "simple", it's quite a mess to manage packages manually in place of using such battle-tested systems

Sorry, that's not correct. Did you check out the link? It doesn't describe the CLI, only the IDE. "You can find the Gemini Code Assist for individuals privacy notice and settings in two ways: - VS Code - IntelliJ "

Sorry our docs were confusing! We tried to clear things up: https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/main/docs/t...

"1. Is my code, including prompts and answers, used to train Google's models?

This depends entirely on the type of auth method you use.

    Auth method 1: Yes. When you use your personal Google account, the Gemini Code Assist Privacy Notice for Individuals applies. Under this notice, your prompts, answers, and related code are collected and may be used to improve Google's products, which includes model training."
The opt out appear to be about other type of stats, no?

Is LiteLLM integration on the roadmap? I get that part of the motivation to build this is to funnel usage to Google models, but it would be nice to be able to go through OpenRouter and/or use local models too. Open source is nice, but open model configuration would be nicer :)

> The Gemini Pro subscription is included with Google One It's not in Basic, Standard or Premium. It's in a new tier called "Google AI Pro" which I think is worth inclusion in your catalogue of product confusion. Oh wait, there's even more tiers that for some reason can't be paid for annually. Weird... why not? "Google AI Ultra" and some others just called Premium again but now include AI. 9 tiers, 5 called Premium,…

> It's not in Basic, Standard or Premium. For me, it shows all the Gemini stuff in Premium, even the 5TB version.

It's interesting to see the most recent internet archive snapshot from last week. Just 4 tiers. Basic, Standard, Premium which don't include Gemini. There is a fourth tier called "AI Premium" that does.

I wonder what it will be next week.

I used this a fair amount today. My first impressions are that it feels a bit worse to use than Claude Code (understandable given a day 1 product), and the lying progress indicator is extremely annoying. It generates a bunch of fake activity indicators based on your prompt, then cycles through them on a timer. It has no bearing on the actual activity going on underneath. It appears to be much slower than Claude Code,…

In my experience the longer thinking time before acting is due to the model (2.5 Pro). Claude Sonnet 4 is just snappier overall. Same experience in tools like Cursor when comparing these models.

I've a few concerns:

1) I tried to use it on an existing project asking this "Analyse the project and create a GEMINI.md". It fumbled some non sense for 10-15 minutes and after that it said it was done, but it had only analysed a few files in the root and didn't generate anything at all.

2) Despite finding a way to login with my workspace account, it then asks me for the GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT which doesn't make any sense to me

3) It's not clear AT ALL if and how my data and code will be used to train the models. Until this is pretty clear, for me is a no go.

p.s: it feels like a promising project which has been rushed out too quickly :/
