Hi - I work on this. Uptake is a steep curve right now, spare a thought for the TPUs today.

Appreciate all the takes so far, the team is reading this thread for feedback. Feel free to pile on with bugs or feature requests we'll all be reading.

Thank you for your work on this. I spent the afternoon yesterday trying to convert an algorithm written in ruby (which I do not know) to vanilla JavaScript. It was a comedy of failing nonsense as I tried to get gpt-4.1 to help, and it just led me down pointless rabbit holes. I installed Gemini CLI out of curiosity, pointed it at the Ruby project, and it did the conversion from a single request, total time from "think I'll try this" to it working was 5 minutes. Impressed.

I did something very similar last week with Claude Code, which also had good results. Good to know Gemini CLI is on the same level of power.

FWIW the fair comparison for Gemini 2.5 Pro would be o4-mini. That being said I’ve also found that Gemini is way better at getting it right on the first or second try and responding to corrections.
