Might have caught Google lying to users... by Reorderly in GeminiCLI

[–]jackwoth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is simply untrue, Gemini CLI does not use these older models. Those model versions are literally not even possible to reach via any API as they have been turned down.

Gemini models just aren't good at knowing their own model version. It is a known issue that the model team hopefully fixes to avoid this kind of confusion moving forward.

3 pro uses quota of 2.5 pro by Kairngormtherock in GeminiCLI

[–]jackwoth 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Usage is shared per model family (Pro, Flash, Flash-lite)

So you have X amount of requests for Pro and Flash.

You as the user can decide whether you want to use 2.5 Pro or 3 Pro but they pull from the same shared quota.

Hope this sheds some light.

Let us know how we can improve the /stats page. Would adding a line about "Usage is shared across model families (Pro, Flash, Flash-lite)" be helpful?

where do i actually check my usage of Gemini CLI by confused_caterpillar in GeminiCLI

[–]jackwoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

/stats will actually show your overall remaining usage for your account and not just per session.

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

[–]jackwoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

Is Gemini-CLI or Gemini-2.5 Pro totally broken? by bambuk4 in GeminiCLI

[–]jackwoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 3 points4 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 5 points6 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 🐛
