gemini-cli

So they did. https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/discussions/2727... I get the complaints in that thread but I still think it is hilarious. That repo is a gong show to random shit and perhaps one of the best worst examples of "opensource" LLM development.

Gemini CLI was open source (Apache 2): https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli Antigravity CLI is not - the repo has a README and an animated gif demo: https://github.com/google-antigravity/antigravity-cli

Meanwhile Gemini CLI has been broken for months! https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/22141

I tried gemini-cli. While the model was "ok" everything else was trash. Constant 429s or 502s for "reasons". 10 different ways to try and pay for the stupid thing and none of them clear. My favourite was as a paying customer I could not get it to use the latest model. Sometimes it would but most times it would dump me to 2.5. All of my experience is exactly the opposite of the gp comment is saying. The gemini-cli repo is gong show too https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli

hi Thariq, I dont know how else to reach someone at claude code, so here goes: I solved context compaction by using a better caching algorithm. It's being implemented in gemini-cli with limited success. https://june.kim/union-find-compaction https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/pull/24736

Gemini cli is literally the worse agentic cli tool that I've tried and Google won't let you use your credentials with any other. It lacks obvious features that all the others have, crashes constantly, breaks so badly you lose work at least once a week, is seldom updated, and worse was recently crippled even further intentionally. Google has had load issues forever. Their most recent solution has been to throttle CLI users to the point that it's almost useless. The only way to get decent service is to pay per query with the API now. I cancelled my Ultra plan and went to ChatGPT. They still let you chose your preferred tool. Meanwhile, Googles forums and github are filled with wailing and gnashing of teeth, but Google customer service policy is the same as it was when they just did search: reproachful silence. https://github.com/google-gemi

I'm afraid the music may be slowly fading at this party, and the lights will soon be turned on. We may very well look back on the last couple years as the golden era of subsidized GenAI compute. For those not in the Google Gemini/Antigravity sphere, over the last month or so that community has been experiencing nothing short of contempt from Google when attempting to address an apparent bait and switch on quota expectations for their pro and ultra customers (myself included). [1] While I continue to pay for my Google Pro subscription, probably out of some Stockholm Syndrome, beaten wife level loyalty and false hope that it is just a bug and not Google being Google and self-immolating a good product, I have since moved to Kiro for my IDE and Codex for my CLI and am as happy as clam with this new setup.

gemini-cli has not been useable for weeks. The API endpoint it uses for subscription users is so heavily rate-limited that the CLI is non-functional. There are many reports of this issue on Github. [1] 1/ https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues?q=is%3Ais...

Is https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli not 'the flagship agent' itself? It looks that way to me, for example here's a part of the prompt https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/e293424bb49...

Gemini has similar bug https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/1028, that essentially made this tool absolutely unusable for me. Never had this problem with Claude tho. Must be something environment-specific.
