Google launches Gemini CLI: a free, open source coding agent
• Google launched Gemini-CLI, an open-source coding agent bringing natural language command execution to developer terminals using the Gemini Pro 2.5 model. • Unlike paid alternatives, Google's Gemini-CLI provides a generous free tier for individual developers, offering 1,000 daily requests without charge. • Gemini-CLI also features an extensibility architecture using the Model Context Protocol, allowing developers to connect external services and add new capabilities.
• OpenAI is developing collaborative document editing and integrated chat functions for ChatGPT, directly positioning it against Google Workspace and Microsoft Office suites. • These new tools will resemble functions in Office 365 and Google's Workspace, potentially making businesses reconsider their current software subscriptions from major providers. • This expansion aims to transform ChatGPT from a standalone chatbot into an integrated work platform, which could alter how companies use everyday office applications.
