Google has launched a free tier of its AI-powered coding assistant, Gemini Code Assist, for individual developers. This new tier provides access to AI-driven coding assistance, including code suggestions, debugging support, and error explanations. It supports 22 programming languages and offers up to 180,000 code completions per month, significantly exceeding the free tier of GitHub Copilot, which only provides 2,000 completions per month. The tool integrates seamlessly with popular IDEs like Visual Studio Code and JetBrains IDEs.

Google's Gemini Code Assist is built on the Gemini 2.0 model, fine-tuned for programming tasks by analyzing real-world coding use cases. According to Google, the quality of AI-generated recommendations is now "better than ever." In addition to the free tier, Google has also introduced Gemini Code Assist for GitHub, which automates parts of the code review workflow by summarizing pull requests. This free offering positions Gemini as a direct competitor to GitHub Copilot, expanding access to AI-assisted coding for hobbyists and startup developers.
