Gemini CLI sucks. Just use Opencode if you have to use Gemini. They need to rebuild the CLI just as OAI did with Codex.

YMMV I guess but it's my goto tool; fast and reliable results at least for my use cases

Well Opencode also completely replaced its TUI a few weeks ago too.

BTW Gemini 3 via Copilot doesn't currently work in Opencode: https://github.com/sst/opencode/issues/4468

what happened with Codex? Did they rebuild it?

What's wrong with any terminal? Are those performance gains that important when handling a TUI? :-(

Edit:

Also, I don't see Gemini listed here:

https://opencode.ai/docs/providers/

Only Google Vertex AI (?): https://opencode.ai/docs/providers/#google-vertex-ai

Edit 2:

Ah, Gemini is the model and Google Vertex AI is like AWS Bedrock, it's the Google service actually serving Gemini. I wonder if Gemini can be used from OpenCode when made available through a Google Workspace subscription...
