Public GitHub commits attributed to Gemini
This spans Google's Gemini surfaces, so it is a Google-Gemini floor rather than a CLI-only count. Gemini CLI does not attribute its work by default, so its real output is far larger.
Last full week (2026-06-08): 2,328 signed commits (-29.6% week over week), search estimate.
Flow share: 0% of the 7998 most recent public PRs sampled (3 PRs, 8 windows, last 2026-06-17).

Retail Token Equivalent
Subscriptions are quoted in requests per day, not tokens. The API-key path uses Google's published Gemini API token rate card, which is fully transparent.

Unit Economics (Measured)
Mean API-retail cost per completed task on the Artificial Analysis coding agent index (358 tasks across 3 suites, pass@1 over 3 runs, snapshot 2026-06-09). These are pay-per-token API costs, not subscription effective costs.
| Harness | AA index | Cost / task | Tokens / task | Time / task |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gemini CLI, Gemini 3.1 Pro (high) | 43.0 | $1.60 | 1.7M | 8m |
Break-even vs API retail on the top harness (Gemini CLI, Gemini 3.1 Pro (high), $1.60/task): Google AI Pro at $19.99/mo covers about 12 tasks; Gemini Code Assist Standard at $22.8/mo covers about 14 tasks; Gemini Code Assist Enterprise at $54/mo covers about 34 tasks; Google AI Ultra at $199.99/mo covers about 125 tasks. Assumes the Artificial Analysis task mix.
The CLI is free and open source. A personal Google account includes a free quota (60 requests/min, 1,000 requests/day at launch); higher limits come with Google AI plans, Gemini Code Assist tiers, or a paid Gemini API / Vertex AI key.
- Free-tier limits of 60 requests/min and 1,000 requests/day were published at launch in June 2025.
- Paid paths include Google AI subscription plans, Gemini Code Assist Standard/Enterprise, and usage-based Gemini API or Vertex AI keys.
