As a Claude Max user, that generally prefer’s claude, I will say that Gemini is working pretty well right now and I’m considering setting up a google workspace account so I can get Gemini with decent privacy.
I only meant the Gemini Chat interface. There is actually an alternative for $20 a month plan for coding that’s called Gemini Assist Enteprise. I actually already signed up for that when Gemini Code launched, because I definitely didn’t want them having rights to my code.
Makes sense, I agree for general chat Gemini is great.
For Gemini Code Assist [1], the problem remains that their models are very poor at tool calling and that their harness (Gemini CLI) is miles behind. Looks like there's a plugin for Opencode to use this subscription, which helps with the harness part.
If Gemini 3 GA - which is taking suspiciously long - is better at tool calling then it'll be a great option.
