Everything You Need to Know About Google Gemini CLI: Features, News, and Expert Insights

Google’s Gemini CLI Just Dropped—Here’s Why This Free, Open‑Source AI Agent Could Replace Your Favorite Coding Tool

Gemini CLI is a command‑line AI agent that passes natural-language prompts to Gemini 2.5 Pro and returns structured responses, code, or multimedia within the terminal. Gemini 2.5 Pro supports a 1,000,000-token context window, about 50–100× larger than mainstream LLMs, enabling repository-scale reasoning. The CLI integrates with Veo for video, Imagen for images, and Google Search via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to handle multimodal tasks. During the preview, individuals can issue 60 requests per minute and 1,000 per day. Google released the entire Gemini CLI codebase under the Apache 2.0 license on GitHub, inviting pull requests and forks. Taylor Mullen,
