From a report: The AI coding assistant, powered by the fine-tuned Gemini 2.0 model, allows up to 180,000 code completions monthly &#8212; 90 times more than GitHub Copilot&#8217;s free tier limit of 2,000. The release comes just one day after Anthropic introduced Claude Code, underscoring intensifying competition in AI-powered development tools. <\/p>\n<p>Gemini Code Assist integrates with popular environments including Visual Studio Code, JetBrains IDEs, and GitHub, where it performs code reviews on both public and private repositories. Google&#8217;s offering features a 128,000-token context window, enabling developers to work with larger codebases. The service supports all public domain programming languages and requires only a Gmail account to register, with no credit card needed. <\/p>\n<p>According to Ryan Salva, Google Cloud&#8217;s senior director of product management, more than 75% of developers now rely on AI in their daily work, with over 25% of new code at Google being AI-generated. For developers wanting advanced features like private repository integration or Google Cloud service connections, premium tiers remain available.<\/p>\n<div class=\"share_submission\" style=\"position:relative;\">\n<a class=\"slashpop\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/home?status=Google+Makes+Gemini+Code+Assist+Free%3A+https%3A%2F%2Ftech.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F25%2F02%2F25%2F1640216%2F%3Futm_source%3Dtwitter%26utm_medium%3Dtwitter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/twitter_icon_large-279.png\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"slashpop\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftech.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F25%2F02%2F25%2F1640216%2Fgoogle-makes-gemini-code-assist-free%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/facebook_icon_large-194.png\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tech.slashdot.org\/story\/25\/02\/25\/1640216\/google-makes-gemini-code-assist-free?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed\">Read more of this story<\/a> at Slashdot.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/slashdot.org\/slashdot-it.pl?op=discuss&amp;id=23620335&amp;smallembed=1\" style=\"height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google has launched a free version of Gemini Code Assist, offering developers substantially higher usage limits than competing services.
