Google just dropped an exciting new tool: Gemini CLI! This open-source AI innovation connects Google’s Gemini AI models directly to local codebases, letting developers use natural language to interact with their terminal. Whether you're tweaking code or exploring creative projects, this tool makes it all accessible and fun.
Gemini CLI not only boosts coding with features similar to OpenAI’s Codex CLI and Anthropic’s Claude Code, but it also opens doors to creative tasks. Developers can generate videos using the Veo 3 model, compile smart research reports with the Deep Research agent, or even pull real-time updates via Google Search.
Now available under the Apache 2.0 license, Gemini CLI offers generous usage limits—60 model requests per minute and 1,000 per day. This update is set to empower both budding coders and seasoned tech enthusiasts to bring innovative ideas to life. Ready to level up your tech game? 🚀
