Google just released the highly anticipated Gemini CLI platform, which will integrate Gemini Pro directly into your terminal. What is even more amazing is it's offering a crazy 1000 requests a day to Gemini Pro 2.5 for
free.

To use Gemini CLI free-of-charge, simply login with a personal Google account to get a free Gemini Code Assist license. That free license gets you access to Gemini 2.5 Pro and its massive 1 million token context window. To ensure you rarely, if ever, hit a limit during this preview, we offer the industry’s largest allowance: 60 model requests per minute and 1,000 requests per day at no charge.

I use Claude Code for my coding projects through my pro subscription since it's been available, and it's seriously amazing in being able to work locally directly withing your project, but Claude has a few quirks of being overly 'codey' at times where it creates useless fluffy code or gets itself in a loop. Google Pro 2.5 I personally found to give better results at times, but there was no built in CLI agent option (you would need to use a coding program like Cursor or use an MCP server with API use). Can't wait to try it out.
