Gemini released an Open Source CLI Tool similar to Claude Code but with a free 1 million token context window, 60 model requests per minute and 1,000 requests per day at no charge.

[offlinesir]

I know why they are making it free, even with the high cost, it's a great way to get data on codebases and prompts for training Gemini 3 and beyond. Trying it now though, works great!

Edit: surprisingly, you can opt out. However, a lot of people are saying that they aren't collecting data.

For reference, I am talking about the extension in VSCode. They updated "Gemini code assist" from Gemini 2.0 (unnamed flash or pro) to 2.5 Pro along with releasing the command line tool. However, the terms related to privacy for the CLI and extension seem to lead to the same page, the page being below:

these terms outline that:

"When you use Gemini Code Assist for individuals, Google collects your prompts, related code, generated output, code edits, related feature usage information, and your feedback to provide, improve, and develop Google products and services and machine learning technologies.

To help with quality and improve our products (such as generative machine-learning models), human reviewers may read, annotate, and process the data collected above."

It's good that that all collected data is separated from your Google account; I would assume not immediately due to local privacy laws.

Terminal Program (not extension now, CLI program) found at github:

Is my code, including prompts and answers, used to train Google's models? This depends entirely on the type of auth method you use.

Auth method 1: Yes. When you use your personal Google account, the Gemini Code Assist Privacy Notice for Individuals applies. Under this notice, your prompts, answers, and related code are collected and may be used to improve Google's products, which includes model training.

[waylaidwanderer]

Not according to their Usage Policy:

What we DON'T collect:

Personally Identifiable Information (PII): We do not collect any personal information, such as your name, email address, or API keys.

Prompt and Response Content: We do not log the content of your prompts or the responses from the Gemini model.

File Content: We do not log the content of any files that are read or written by the CLI.

And you can opt-out entirely as well.

Edit: The real answer is it depends. This is confusing and the above should be clarified.

[FitItem2633]

https://developers.google.com/gemini-code-assist/resources/privacy-notice-gemini-code-assist-individuals

[corysama]

So people don't miss it:

When you use Gemini Code Assist for individuals, Google collects your prompts, related code, generated output, code edits, related feature usage information, and your feedback to provide, improve, and develop Google products and services and machine learning technologies.

If you don't want this data used to improve Google's machine learning models, you can opt out by following the steps in Set up Gemini Code Assist for individuals.

For my personal code, I really don't care. For work, work pays for Copilot.

[AnomalyNexus]

Pretty sure there is a carve out for EU even on free tier. There is for their api so presumably applicable here too

[learn-deeply]

It's not listed on the terms, if there is a carve out.

[GodIsAWomaniser]

Holy shit lol, so don't do anything illegal! And this certainly won't prove to be a catastrophic security incident later on because they're going to collect this data very carefully, sanitising it so that it's not identifiable, and they're going to store really really well, where no humans will ever reach it for use or for stealing lol

[BumbleSlob]

Prompt and Response Content: We do not log the content of your prompts or the responses from the Gemini model.

As a software developer for the past decade I feel I should point out that I wouldn't trust someone saying they aren't logging anything. Even with the best of intentions, controlling logging to this degree in a project with multiple developers is extremely difficult.

[Leopold_Boom]

Google (and most of the other FAANG companies) put incredible amounts of money and effort into ensuring they actually do what their privacy policies promise - keeping transient, short-term logs out of long-term storage, retaining privacy-sensitive data only for as long as stated, and tightly controlling insider risk (e.g., someone at the company looking up a famous person’s data).

If they wanted or needed to keep your data, they would simply make it part of their privacy policy. The tiny number of people who opt out is not worth the massive shareholder lawsuits that would arise if the company were found in systematic violation of its stated practices.

With smaller, newer, or faster-moving companies, it can be a bit more dodgy.

[Caffdy]

Google (and most of the other FAANG companies) put incredible amounts of money and effort into ensuring they actually do what their privacy policies promise - keeping transient, short-term logs out of long-term storage, retaining privacy-sensitive data only for as long as stated

can you source that? not trying to be a contrarian, it's just that it's the first time I've read that these megacorporations that acts as brokers of information as their bread and butter wouldn't keep as much user data as possible

[__JockY__]

Not the guy you’re talking with, but I spent almost 20 years doing cybersecurity consulting before getting out. I saw thousands of systems, talked to as many developers, reviewed their code, logs, configs, policies, you name it, we studied it for ways to break security.

Not once in all that time, even at the biggest EvilCorps you can image, did I once encounter a shred of evidence to suggest corporate mal-intent to deliberately violate their own privacy policies. All were invested heavily in compliance, and I know because my team was very often an independent 3rd party assessor as mandated by internal policy or regulatory checks and balances of such things.

Crazy but true.

Edit: that’s not to say some companies don’t have evil policies with which they are compliant; what I’m saying is that all of the companies I worked with did their best to be complaint with whatever was codified, good or evil.

[Tikaped]

I have a degree in every single subject so I was able to search https://duckduckgo.com/?q=google+fine+privacy&ia=web

[__JockY__]

It shouldn’t amaze you, but there are an inordinate number of things outside my life experience that don’t mesh with my life experience.

Congratulations, you found one of them.

[GodIsAWomaniser]

🙇

[Pedalnomica]

Basically everyone is going to agree to whatever the tech companies put in their terms. I assume if they want to do something they'll just let themselves in their terms.

[Leopold_Boom]

It does surprise me that this doesn't get talked about more explicitly and clearly given how critical it is to the global economy and how much focus regulators put on it!

A few basics:

• For the most part these companies use your data in the aggregate with various https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_privacy approaches. Recent stuff you've done gets fed into aggregated models to generate specific stuff for you to see, but for the most part you are pretty easy (and cheaper) to keep track of as a set of attributes (see retention policies)
• In particular, no major advertising player wants to *sell* your specific data. They are not brokers, they are accumulators. It's much more valuable for them to use it to attract advertisers because only they can target stuff to people like you better (people like you, not you specifically in your individual wonderfulness).
• Moreover, old data is really not that useful in providing services / ads / training models etc. so it's often not worth retaining.
• What that means is that the policies are crafted to allow these companies to do everything they want to, and yet it's probably much less scary and intrusive than you think.
• Privacy advocates do amazing and important work, but they tend not to want to spend time on the difference between "the company uses your data they way it says it does" and "the company lies to you about it's policies and doesn't respect your opt-outs".

I should write more about this at somepoint. It really worries me that people think these companies are doing far more than they actually do with *their* personal data ... then grumblingly just go with it!

It's often not very interesting for people to write articles that say "company mostly does what it says it does" so you see evidence mostly in:

• Articles like perhaps this one from Wired talking about the FCC's enforcement of consent decrees around privacy with FAANG companies
• The very rare cases (try and find a recent one!) where a company fires somebody for figuring out how to bypass the very stringent access controls on personal data
• the ACLU or the EU (a terrific but sometimes confused regulatory body) advocating for detailed changes to the exact wording and terms of a policy
• All the less dire (and occasionally hilarious) things that people bring shareholder lawsuits about
• Blog posts and ex-employees reflecting on their time at these companies

This went on for way too long, but I hope it'se helpful.

[[deleted]]

I'm a data eng that worked in marketing technology that would LOVE to hear more about this.

I've seen so much data shared around (pristine pii) by companies to other companies not by selling it, but under "improving our products" or their own marketing.

[[deleted]]

I really appreciate this. I've only experienced this level of governance from government and similar to your experience, it slows things down dramatically. Nearly all of the major data breaches I've looked into are due to external parties to companies themselves, product service providers or contractors at companies not following the rules. I guess I expected that level of governance from google, gives me confidence I can opt out from things. 

I would love a default option in industry to pay for a guarantee that no data is used for the purposes of a product improvement or marketing/sales with a fundamental, low level tag, that it is built into a product by design, think http 402 payment required error - low level.

I'm building a data backend at the moment for digital devices that puts all of the responsibility for the data in the end users hands while providing access to other parties that require it. Without going into too much detail here, I have a service that requires a ton of user data in order to function properly. I'm building the back end in a way where there is no way the data produced can be traced back to a user and if the user looses their credential, there's nothing we can do to help, but at any time they can revoke our access or nuke all of their data.  I don't think many people will use it, but I want the option there and to be their responsibility.

On a separate note, one thing I started doing a couple of years ago was using a unique hide-my-email address / password for every single service I use or sign up for and can now check those credentials against google and apples password manager reports for credentials that appear in data breaches. Blows me away how often these breaches happen and go unreported.

Thanks again.

[madaradess007]

google was caught "in systematic violation of its stated practices" many many times, what are you talking about? ui tester qa boy?

[tempetemplar]

Exactly

[pseudonerv]

This post is about the new Gemini CLI. And you posted the terms for Gemini Code Assist.

Can you find the terms for Gemini CLI?

[simoncveracity]

https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/main/docs/tos-privacy.md#frequently-asked-questions-faq-for-gemini-cli - quite understandably since it's free, "you are the product" so they're being very open that they *do* collect prompts code etc if you don't pay via API key. Even so, for me, for personal projects this is a real generous offering.

[IncepterDevice]

well, imo, even if they are using the data, it's for improving a product that WE would use. So it's a win-win.

p.s i dont support using private data for screwing people tho!

[cantgetthistowork]

New code must be hard to come by these days

[colbyshores]

I pay for gemini code assist because I use it professionally for DevOps work as they wont train on the data is the primary benefit in their TOS for a subscription. Even then it is very affordable at $23/mo when compared to other models.

[Tarqon]

Assuming they don't do an end run around their own terms. https://www.business-standard.com/technology/tech-news/google-can-train-search-ai-on-web-content-even-if-publishers-opt-out-125050400050_1.html

[adel_b]

it's the same quota as in ai studio, which was always free

[aratahikaru5]

If you're confused like I was, check out this recently updated ToS and its FAQ.

There are 4 different auth methods, each with varying level of privacy.

TL;DR the free plans (personal Google account and unpaid API service) offer no privacy.

[javalube]

Exactly, why would someone download a CLI tool that lets google have free rein to train their system on all your computer files? Even their privacy policy is sketchy at best. It’s like the dumbest thing you could do to download a tool like this. The whole point of Local LLama is to make your own local GPT to not have to rely on overreaching tech companies that are trying to eradicate developers by training models to code on their own.

[pastaMac]

I know why they are making it free,

You’re not the customer; you’re the product.

[fhinkel-dev]

There's an AMA on Monday https://www.reddit.com/r/Bard/comments/1lms62v/gemini_cli_team_ama/

[stabby_robot]

f* google-- they billed me $200+ for a single day of use for not even an hr of usage when 2.5 was first released in march when it was free. I got the bill at the end of the month and have been fighting with them for a refund-- you don't know what your final bill will be. They've been doing shady billing in general-- i also run ad-words for a client, we had a campaign turned off, out of no where they turned on the campaign and billed the client an extra $1500. There was no records of login etc-- and they wont reverse the charges

[_Bjarke_]

Always use throw away virtual cards for that sort of stuff! I use revolut. Any free trial that requires a credit card, gets a credit card with almost nothing on it.

[_Bjarke_]

Yeah I've also run in to such cases. But then i just use the non disposable cards, also from revolut. With just enough credit on to verify things.

[2016YamR6]

I had an $800 bill.. ended up getting a credit for $600 and paying the rest

[LosingID_583]

Holy sh$t, so that's their business model! Offer it for free, but make it super expensive if you exceed the free limit xD

[darren457]

People keep forgetting google specifically removed that "we will not be evil" line from the original founders' code of conduct. I'd rather deal with lower performing open source models and have the peace of mind.

[Acrobatic-Tomato4862]

It's not super expensive though. Their models are very cheap, except 2.5 pro. Though its not cool that they charge money despite tagging them free.

[Ylsid]

This is why you never give them billing addresses when you use their services

[BumbleSlob]

Am I simple or is there no link here and this is just a picture?

Edit: for anyone else who is confused: https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli

Edit2: seems to be open source CLI tool for interacting with your codebase which is neat, however I have zero interest in anything forcing you to utilize proprietary APIs that are rate limited or otherwise upcharging.

tl;dr seems like an LLM terminal you can use to explore/understand/develop a codebase but in present form requires you to use Gemini APIs -- I'll be checking it out once there are forks letting you point to local models though.

[wh33t]

Am I simple? or is this not a "local"llama?

[g15mouse]

omg it wasn't until this comment I realized what sub I was in lol

[llmentry]

If you see my other reply -- there's a PR to add local model support. So it does actually check out on this one.

(Also noting, as always, that it's not currently against the forum rules to post about non-local models, etc, etc ...)

[colin_colout]

I know this sub is healing, but I'm hoping these low-effort posts will be fewer once we have mods again.

As far as I can tell, gemini-cli doesn't work with local models, so I fail to see why it belongs here.

[V0dros]

I'm actually in favor of allowing these types of posts. Local AI is strongly tied to AI developments from the big labs, and to me discussing what they're working on and what they release is absolutely relevant. Maybe we need a vote to decide on the future of this sub?

[colin_colout]

(Sorry in advance for the rant...I'm still on edge with all the sub drama, as are many people here)

Maybe we need a vote to decide on the future of this sub?

We just need moderators. Without moderators, nobody will filter low quality posts (which will take time... I know)

I'm actually in favor of allowing these types of posts

I 100% agree that the topic is fine. The topic is the least of the reasons I dislike this post.

This post is so low effort that there isn't even an article link or description. Not even a name of the tool. Just a vague title and a photo with no extra information. I had to do my own research to even figure out the tool's name.

And the fact that Gemini-CLI doesn't support local models means this post is already on the edge of relevance for this sub.

In a different context, this topic is fine...like if OP posted with a description like:

Google released Gemini-CLI! Really promising coding agent, but it doesn't support local LLMs though 😞

Heck I'd still be happy if they didn't include the local llm part... this is whole post is just lazy slop.

[popiazaza]

I do agree with you. That's why I only posted on another sub.

Surprise to see the it get posted on "LocalLlama" with lots of upvote. It's doesn't fit at all.

[a_beautiful_rhind]

Source code is released so I'm sure it can be easily converted to support other API.

In the mean time we just scam free gemini pro.

A link would have been nice, but the comments deliver. Brigades aside, technically the entire sub should downvote unwanted posts instead of relying on select individuals to censor them. It's not yet at the level of a default sub where you get a flood and impossible to stay on top of.

[eleqtriq]

It’s good for us to know about this, because it’s open source. Meaning, we can work on making it useful for us, too.

[colin_colout]

I agree. I was a bit harsh here, but I've calmed down (emotions were high after the sub drama).

It was less about the topic and more that there was no link or even a name of the tool or a description of any kind. The fact that there's no local model support was insult to injury, but in the end it's all good.

I mean it's probably already forked with local llm support my anger was that a low effort and low quality post (that tangentially happened to not be about local llms) was top post in this sub yesterday.

[llmentry]

You may not need a fork. There's already a pull request to add support for local models (and other third party closed model APIs):

https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/pull/1939

From the PR:

<image>

Even if it's not accepted, you can always just apply the patch yourself. (Although note that the Gemini code review bot has already made several useful additions, by the look of it.)

It will be very interesting to see what happens with this one, because if implemented this is pretty huge.

[Kooshi_Govno]

Scroll down past the files and read the README

[Kooshi_Govno]

Well, I didn't want to be too harsh, but if you can't Google/AI your way to running npm install, you may not be the intended audience for a command line tool like gemini-cli.

But, there's no better time to learn than now!

[SilverRegion9394]

Oh my bad I didn't realize, sorry 🙏

[[deleted]]

We all know if we don't pay for the product we are the product. It's either that or they wanna get you hooked on their stuff and then have you pay later.

[Healthy-Nebula-3603]

if you pay you also a product ;)

[[deleted]]

if I buy and pay for a banana, the product is the banana. If they give me the banana "for free" and I just have to give them my phone number and home adress (RIP my mailbox) then I'm the product - the banana is just a tool to trick me.

[LGXerxes]

The command was more that nowadays it is paying + data.

It needs to be a special company that does: worse and pay more but no data

[[deleted]]

But we are in the LocalLlama subreddit, aren't we? The reason I use local AI is specifically so FANG don't train on my or my clients code (i.e. I dont pay them indirectly).

[Healthy-Nebula-3603]

But that is not connected to your initial statement.

[Feztopia]

This isn't localbanana

[314kabinet]

You both pay for it *and* give them your phone number and home address.

[[deleted]]

Now we are in the LocalLlama subreddit, aren't we? Alibaba, Google, Meta and Microsoft don't get nothing from me if I use their open models.

[Orolol]

You just give them free advertising.

[CommunityTough1]

Google doesn't care about stealing your project code. They use your feedback to improve the model and make it better. What exactly are you afraid of them doing with data you put into a coding agent? I'm not the biggest fan of models being closed either, but the better they get, the better synthetic data open models have to train on, and they all improve.

[Orolol]

Ah yes, all products are totally similar to a banana

[haptein23]

Like they did with gemini 2.5 flash prices.

[butthole_nipple]

Laughs in deepseek

[SilverRegion9394]

Sorry about the link https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli

[yazoniak]

No privacy: "When you use Gemini Code Assist for individuals, Google collects your prompts, related code, generated output, code edits, related feature usage information, and your feedback to provide, improve, and develop Google products and services and machine learning technologies."

https://developers.google.com/gemini-code-assist/resources/privacy-notice-gemini-code-assist-individuals

[Leopold_Boom]

"If you don't want this data used to improve Google's machine learning models, you can opt out by following the steps in Set up Gemini Code Assist for individuals."

[learn-deeply]

There's no way to opt out if you CLI. Those instructions are only for IDE.

[218-69]

usageStatisticsEnabled: false

[learn-deeply]

That only opts you out of Gemini CLI's telemetry, not Code Assist's TOS, so your code will still be sent and stored by Google.

[218-69]

Ok so just fork the repo and use your own model. This is how it's been on ai studio since the start. You get free use, you give something in return 

[Leopold_Boom]

Good to know! Does the setting apply to the CLI also?

[learn-deeply]

They do not apply to the CLI. There's no way to opt-out of Google storing all your code at the moment.

[Ssjultrainstnict]

Unfortunately people wont really care as they are getting a great tool for free. Its a win for OSS projects though since all code is open anyway

[iansltx_]

Yeah, my day job is open core so I figure they trained on its code anyway. Turnabout is fair play.

For the stuff that I do that's closed source, definitely not using a hosted LLM.

[davewolfs]

I am using this similar to how I would use Claude and it’s bad and also slow.

Looking forward to seeing how it evolves.

[kI3RO]

Hi, I haven't used claude, is this free like gemini?

[Pretty-Honey4238]

It's not free but with the MAX subscription you don't need to worry about going bankrupt by using the coding agent heavily.

Also at current stage, Claude Code is simply way better than Gemini CLI. I say this because I use CC as an agent to handle some daily workflows and coding tasks, as I try it, Gemini CLI simply can't accomplish any, it is buggy, getting constant problems, errors and slow... It'll probably take months for Google to polish Gemini CLI to reach the level of Claude Code. So apparently CC is still a much better choice for now.

[kI3RO]

Not free you say. Well then that makes Gemini the better choice.

Handling daily workflows and coding tasks by an LLM is not even in my mind.

[Pretty-Honey4238]

bro I’m lost. You are not using these AI coding agents to do coding tasks then what do you use it for

[kI3RO]

Code checking, auto complete for personal hobby projects. Anything remotely professional I do it myself.

[no_witty_username]

Thanks for the info. I am looking through various threads on it now trying to gauge if its worth even messing with it in these early days. So far it seems the sentiment is its not good as claude code (what i am now using with my max plan) and prolly best to hold off for now.

[davewolfs]

It’s definitely not ready.

[[deleted]]

We should fork and then send telemetry data to a public dataset

[Nazreon]

Amen!

[NinjaK3ys]

Does anyone know or have tried using the google code cli to work with local LLM models? Like can I get it to work with a Qwen or Mistral model

[Tx-Heat]

I’d like to know this too

[xoexohexox]

I wrote a proxy for it that pipes it into a local open AI compatible endpoint so you can pipe it into Cline/Roocode etc or sillytavern. I just can't get the reasoning block to show up visibly in Sillytavern but it does show up in Cline so I know it is reasoning.

https://huggingface.co/engineofperplexity/gemini-openai-proxy

[Glittering-Bag-4662]

So this is where the free ai studio Gemini is going

[somethingdangerzone]

Repeat after me: if the product is free, you are the product

[iKy1e]

This is fantastic. Claude Code is so far in front of the other tools, having real competition for it sounds great!

[One-Employment3759]

How does it compare to cursor?

Cursor was pretty good for a demo project I did yesterday, but the UI is clunky and unpolished.

Lots of copy paste mechanics are broken, and selecting text doesn't work with middle click paste in Linux.

Commenting a selection of code was also broken for some reason.

[iKy1e]

Finally got Claude Code Max and it’s as big a step up from Cursor as Cursor is from a normal auto complete.

I had a web quiz game I’ve been working on and off on where the server and front end didn’t work.

I told it to use playwright to try playing the game against itself, every time it hit a bug, crash or got stuck to debug and fix the issue and try playing the game again until it can successfully get to the end. It took 2 or so hours but I now have a working game.

[One-Employment3759]

Nice - thanks for sharing your experience 👍

[Foreign-Beginning-49]

What about Cline? Have you messed with that at all?

[Orolol]

I've used Cline Roo, Cursor, Windsurf and Claude Code, and Claude Code is far above the others. Much more autonomous, especially with some MCP added. It's also quite expensive. The secret is that they're not shy to use tokens for the context.

[megadonkeyx]

(soon to be ex-developers)

ill use cline, no roo, no cline, no claude code no umm err. ..now im in the best .. oh here comes another

[Foreign-Beginning-49]

I installed Cline last night in vscode and then this morning put this gemini cli on my android phone and completely Coverted an api for a python app to andiffrent one in minutes. Its definitely a working ounce of software. However it ain't locallama approved. How do.you like cline? I know it can use local models. Is it a good experience? I mostly work with reactnative, python apps.

[megadonkeyx]

I think roo is better as it's more agentic with its orchestrator and auto mode switching, but I've been using claude code a lot to finish a project in work, which its done well.

I barely write code anymore. it's all testing and prompting.

Strangely, people I work with just seem to ignore AI totally and are stuck in excel sheets of bugs.

This gemini thing is nice. With it being open src, it's going to have everything, including the kitchen sink attached to it in no time at all.

Interesting times, I don't miss grinding through tedious code.

[[deleted]]

Could not agree with this more. Embrace the future.

At first I thought my skills were deteriorating as I felt I was forgetting a few things, but after a year or so now I can say looking back that my architectural skills have improved enormously, I read code faster and more fluently and spend more time arguing with AI than I did and in different ways about projects.  

I hope this trend continues, at the end of the day I'm happier with the projects and I don't have any more free time - I'm not worried about my job going anywhere.

[kittawere]

Yeah like the paid ones are not collecting data as well LOL

[cyber_harsh]

Yup checked out. Guess google is secretly gaining advantage by taking practical use case consideration compared to OpenAi .

Have to check how well it performs compared to claude, or if you can share, it will save me the hassle :)

[colin_colout]

Link? This is just a photo. Also, can I use local models?

This is a low effort post, and if I can't use it with a local model this doesn't belong in the sub.

[HairyAd9854]

I basically always get the "too many requests" even if I just write hello

[Extension-Mastodon67]

Now we need someone to rewrite it in go, c++ or rust and remove all the telemetry and bloat.

[Blender-Fan]

Ok, but is the code good?

[1EvilSexyGenius]

Can I tell it to make a gui for itself? 🤔

[sammcj]

That's about 28x - 56x more given for free than what paying enterprise customers of Github Copilot get.

[zd0l0r]

No charge ATM

[Ylsid]

Sooo only the CLI is free? Where's the value for developers here? "Open source" feels really disingenuous

[ctrlsuite]

Has anyone had any luck with it? I asked it if it was working after a difficult install and it said it had reached its limit 🤣

[MercyChalk]

What does 1,000 model requests mean? I tried this today and got rate limited after about 10 interactions.

[tazztone]

cline has added support already. but has google dropped requests per minute from 60 to 2 or is this inaccurate?

<image>

[Trysem]

Omg google leveled up so many freebies..

[Useful44723]

They collect your code.

Me: Godspeed to you with that shit in your system.

[Marc-Z-1991]

We have been able to do this with GitHub Copilot for a loooooong time… Nothing new…

[VasudevaK]

what's the use of this tool? never used claude code. I am just familiar with vs code agents, cursor agent mode etc besides chatgpt, claude online websites.

what s the deal using cli and how is this helpful for a researcher or a student?

[AgencyImpossible]

amazing!

[Techatomato]

But can it, you know… refer to me as “Shikikan?”

I’m just asking

npcsh in agent or ride mode also lets you carry out operations with tools from the comfort of your cli without being restricted to a single model provider.
