Recently, Google unexpectedly published a blog post about the Gemini CLI, but the page is now returning a 404 error. The article, which was not officially released, revealed several key features of the Gemini CLI, sparking discussions in the developer community.
The content of the article shows that the Gemini CLI is an open-source command-line interface (CLI) tool designed for Gemini2.5Pro, supporting a context window of up to 1 million tokens, suitable for handling complex code and large-scale data. In addition, the tool offers free usage quotas, with 60 requests per minute and a daily limit of 1,000 requests, making it the highest free quota in the industry.
The Gemini CLI also integrates Google Search functionality, allowing users to access external context via the web in real-time, improving code generation and debugging efficiency. It also supports plugin and script extensions, enabling developers to customize features according to their needs. Notably, the Gemini CLI is deeply integrated with VS Code, providing AI-driven code completion, generation, and intelligent operations through Gemini Code Assist, optimizing the development process.
Although the article has been taken down, the leaked information shows Google's ambitions in the field of AI development tools. The powerful features and free strategy of the Gemini CLI may attract more developers, and its official release is worth looking forward to.
