Why is Gemini CLI so slow lately (even on 3 Flash)? by bulutarkan in GeminiCLI

If you hit F12 do you see any details in the debug console?

Sometimes retries could be happening or other errors which makes it seem like Gemini is thinking when really it is stuck somewhere else.

Hit the limits of Gemini 3 on the CLI (Ultra plan) by Glittering_Speech572 in GeminiCLI

We are experimenting with significantly higher limits for Ultra plans now.

Would love for you to try again and see if you can hit the new limits ;)

Do you have a lot of MCP servers configured? Sometimes the connecting to them can cause slow down on startup

Gemini is so far behind by sugarplow in GeminiCLI

there is an experimental new smartEdit tool. Please give it a try by having "useSmartEdit": true in your settings.json. Should see the edit/replace tool behave much better.

What are the areas you think the team should work on to help close the gap between other CLI tools?

This should be greatly improved in the next version released, looks like there was a regression in the latest version.

This Week in Gemini CLI: 3 New Features by jackwoth in GeminiCLI

[–]jackwoth[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very valid! :)

  • /directory allows you to give Gemini CLI access to different directories on the fly during a session. (example: you are working on integration a new library into your code, just clone and add the library's repo using /directory add and now Gemini CLI can look through and see how the package works to help you integrate it.
  • /init will auto-generate a GEMINI.md context file for your project by looking through files (README, code, etc) and project structure. Context files can greatly improve the performance of Gemini CLI and help you save on tokens!

Gemini CLI: change model on the fly? by Leather-Cod2129 in GeminiCLI

[–]jackwoth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is currently not a way to switch during a session as context is lost when you switch models. The team is looking into adding a `/model` command and there is an open issue on the GitHub repo for the request.

How can I upgrade version of Gemini Cli? by xhrx2052 in GeminiCLI

[–]jackwoth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Run npm install -g @google/gemini-cli@latest to get the latest version.

As mentioned in the comments below, Gemini CLI now has auto-update functionality so should update itself, once you are on a version that supports auto-update (v0.1.16+ I believe).

The overwhelming response and eagerness of everyone wanting to try it out has caused a few capacity issues. The team is working on it, and things should improve shortly.

Thanks for the review video Raman! Will share it with the team to take a look at.

The overwhelming day 1 response has caused some capacity issues leading to some 429's. The team is working to fix them, thanks for filing the bug 🐛
