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.
