Gemini Code Assist for Individuals provides free, AI-powered coding assistance with a large context window, directly in your VS Code or JetBrains IDE.

Hi everyone!

Google launched a free version of Gemini Code Assist for individual developers! This is the same AI coding assistant they've been offering to businesses, now available to everyone.

What's the deal?

💻 IDE Integration: Works directly inside VS Code and JetBrains IDEs.
🤖 Gemini 2.0 Power: Powered by a coding-optimized version of Gemini 2.0.
💬 Code Completion, Generation, & Chat: Get suggestions, generate code, and chat with the AI about your code.
🔥 128K Context Window: Handles large code files and provides more relevant context.
🆓 Seriously Generous Limits: Up to 180K code completions per month, “90x” what some others currently offer👀

This is a big move by Google to make AI coding assistance accessible to everyone – students, hobbyists, freelancers, open-source contributors.

Happy coding!

Congrats on the launch!

Best wishes and sending lots of wins to the team behind gemini :)

In current competitive employment scenarios, i guess AI coding assistant is much required for providing real time solutions for code journey.

Is this better than Sonnet in cursor?

@hennersbro98 I think 3.7 is still the best in coding.

@hennersbro98 @zaczuo o1 for coding eats sonnet 3.7 for breakfast, also your bank account 😅

Google’s recent moves are absolutely fascinating! Huge congratulations on your launch! 🎉
