Google has released a new free version of Gemini Code Assist, an AI-powered code completion tool for individuals. The company also introduced a version for GitHub.
Launching Gemini Code Assist for Individuals
Developers can now access the free global trial of Gemini Code Assist for Individuals. It offers 180,000 code completions per month, supports all public programming languages, and has a 128K token context window. Users can interact with the AI model via chat, working with 38 languages.
Features of the Coding Assistant
Gemini Code Assist is based on an enhanced version of the Gemini 2.0 model and supports environments like VS Code and JetBrains. It can automatically correct errors, complete code sections, and offers 240 chat requests per day. This significantly exceeds the limits of other free tools like GitHub Copilot.
Competition in the AI Solutions Market
This free version of Gemini Code Assist offers numerous features but does not include all business-oriented options like audit logs and Google Cloud integration. The market race among tech giants intensifies, and Google's innovation may lead to a reconsideration of similar tools from other companies like Microsoft.
The release of the free Gemini Code Assist version by Google marks a significant event in the IT solutions market, providing developers with a broad range of capabilities for coding in various programming languages. Competition among tech giants continues, which may foster new innovations in AI and the development of coding tools.
