Google unveils Gemini CLI, an open source AI tool for terminals | TechCrunch

Key takeaways:

  • Google has launched Gemini CLI, an open-source AI tool that allows developers to interact with Gemini models directly from their terminal for tasks like code explanation, debugging, and feature generation.
  • Gemini CLI runs locally and integrates with developers’ codebases, offering natural language capabilities and supporting other tasks like video creation, research reports, and real-time search.
  • It’s open-sourced under the permissive Apache 2.0 license to encourage community contributions and developer adoption on GitHub.
  • Google provides generous usage limits: 60 model requests per minute and 1,000 per day for free users, about twice the average usage rate.
  • While the tool enhances developer productivity, studies and surveys show concerns about AI coding tools' reliability, with only 43% of developers fully trusting their accuracy.
