The public preview of Gemini Code Assist for individuals, a free version of the AI-powered coding assistant, has been announced. This version provides developers worldwide with generous usage limits, AI-assisted code generation, and code review assistance, helping to improve coding quality and streamline the development process.
Gemini Code Assist for individuals is powered by Gemini 2.0, offering optimized support for all public domain programming languages. It provides up to 180,000 code completions monthly, far surpassing the limits of other free coding assistants, which typically offer only 2,000 completions per month. The model was fine-tuned using real-world coding data to provide highly effective recommendations.
Recognizing the need for better accessibility, the free version of Gemini Code Assist supports Visual Studio Code and JetBrains IDEs, offering seamless integration into developers’ existing environments. Additionally, users can now take advantage of AI-powered code reviews for both public and private repositories on GitHub, eliminating the time-consuming task of manual code review.
The tool’s large token context window, supporting up to 128,000 tokens, allows developers to work with large codebases, providing Gemini Code Assist with a deeper understanding of their projects. With this release, developers, students, hobbyists, and startups can leverage advanced AI tools without worrying about usage limits or interruptions to their workflow.
