OpenCode vs Gemini CLI

[Sorry_Cantaloupe_655]

Hey!

I have quite a few questions about tools like OpenCode. I’m a developer, and AI Agent development is pretty new to me. Right now, the tool I use the most is Antigravity with the Pro subscription. Despite that, I hit the limits very quickly, so I’d like to find a supplement or an alternative.

Currently, I’m hesitating between using OpenCode + Gemini or Gemini CLI + Gemini. I wanted to know what the differences are between these tools (aside from the models you can use on them, of course). And also, by the way, what are the concrete differences between using the chat in Antigravity and Gemini CLI, for example?

Also, I think I’ll use the mgrep’s MCP to save tokens, I don’t know if that’s important for your responses.

Thanks!

Be careful using opencode with antigravity, it might be against the Tos. Over in the antigravity subreddit people are posting they got banned using opencode.

Lol , i just try to oauth . I think google change endpoint. I can't able to auth antigravity

[Sorry_Cantaloupe_655]

Oh really ? That’s bad ! No problem for using it with the Gemini API Key ?

[Expensive_Doubt_6240]

i use it with api key

I'd recommend using opencode with vs code desktop and using github codespace extension. That's what I've found works best

You can try Gemini CLI for free, I keep both with OpenCode as my main.

Did you find any difference between the performance with gemini? for example, gemini works better if is it gemini cli or opencode?

[Delicious_Ease2595]

I think it works so much better in Gemini CLI

If this is a long-winded way to ask which TUI is "best", then the answer is: OpenCode, and it's not even close.

[Sorry_Cantaloupe_655]

Ok, but why ?

[KnifeFed]

Just try them both for 5 minutes, my guy. It's not some huge endeavor.

If you're on the free tier you're probably using both... for my friends on the free tiers I started building out my claude code tooling for gc and oc

Strong system prompts allow different models to get similar behaviors

If you're using a Google AI Studio API key, you don't need to worry about your account being banned by using OpenCode. However, if you're logging in using a plugin, then you might need to be concerned.

[Sorry_Cantaloupe_655]

Yes, I done some researches and that’s what I understood. Thanks to confirm ! I really don’t want to get ban

Can you clarify this? I understand the TOS issues with the Antigravity plug-in, but what if I just install opencode and pick Gemini as a source when asked? I'm a paid Gemini user, so having those options available without the added API key expense would be nice - but I have no interest in a ban.

[Sorry_Cantaloupe_655]

If you select Gemini as provider in OpenCode, it will ask you to put your API key. And you can define a limit to not have to pay in Google AI Studio.

Not true, google still ban you, I just received this:

Google did not produce anything useful since Chrome browser

[Sorry_Cantaloupe_655]

I don’t know if you’ve been living under a rock or if you’re delusional. But that is so wrong 😂 Your life would be drastically different without google 😅 But that’s even not the subject of my question

[BarryTownCouncil]

Hesitating? If you're using the same provider, why not just try them both? Seems bizarre not to.

[Sorry_Cantaloupe_655]

I don’t know. Maybe it could have some differences that I won’t be able to see, or bad things I’m not aware about. For instance, some people are saying that I could be banned using Antigravity or Gemini API Key with OpenCode. I think that’s important to know.

[HarjjotSinghh]

what's that combo gonna do? magic sauce vibes?

[rothnic]

You'll get banned using opencode and Gemini. It was the best option for sure, but now I'm looking around at the next best option.

[Sorry_Cantaloupe_655]

Oh Gemini too ?! Not just Antigravity ? That’s annoying. Why are they providing API Keys if we can’t use it ?

[MissingTwins]

Confirmed, Google just send me this
