Matt Liberty, V.P. Engineering at Precision Innovations
Fix Gemini issue triage workflowsGitHub pull request on The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenROAD
Precision Innovations' VP of Engineering reworked OpenROAD's new Gemini CLI issue triage in a follow-up change. Gemini switched from writing labels through shell commands to returning them as its final reply, and the scheduled job may only label issues in the batch it was sent, so an issue number injected into an issue cannot relabel other issues.
"It only labels issues that were in the batch sent to Gemini, so an injected issue number cannot relabel other issues or PRs."

Agentic Coding at ClickHouseCompany blog post, ClickHouse Blog
ClickHouse's CTO reports that the company has Gemini CLI among its terminal agents, but Gemini models do not show good results for its engineers today, so they mostly run Claude Code, with Codex CLI for some people.
"We use Copilot CLI for some scripts, we have Gemini CLI, but for some reason, Gemini models today don't show good results."

Gemini CLI vs. Antigravity: What works, not the spec sheetIndependent hands-on review, The New Stack
Testing Gemini CLI 0.47.0 on shutdown day, Jessica Wachtel found it could not write files or run shell commands in non-interactive mode. Retried 503 errors used up her free daily quota before she enabled billing.
"In non-interactive mode, Gemini CLI couldn’t perform the job. It can read and think, but it can’t write a file or run the commands you need for automation."
Excerpt, Jessica Wachtel
"The 503 errors, which were Google’s server problem and not mine, had eaten all my free credits on requests that never returned an answer. To keep testing at all, I had to enable billing on my API key."

Building a Web3 Camera That Proves Photos Are Real, Powered by Gemini CLIPersonal blog post (DEV writing challenge entry), DEV Community
After weeks with Gemini CLI on a Python, JavaScript and Solidity Web3 camera project, Bhat reports that a Filecoin integration that would have taken a full day took a couple of hours and a review caught a missed reentrancy issue. On the brand-new Filecoin Synapse SDK it sometimes produced outdated API signatures.

Andrew Patton, developer
Endless Loops in the Gemini Coding Agent CLIPersonal blog post, acusti.ca
After finishing an access-check change with passing tests, Gemini CLI ran 11 more final checks and said it was done 42 times before its loop detection stopped it, Andrew Patton reports.
"…it continued going with 11 “final checks” and 4 “one last checks”, along with another 14 calls to “Wait.” as it double⁴ checked its work."
Excerpt, Andrew Patton
"…by the end, Gemini said a variation of “I’m done.”, “I am done.”, and “Done.” 42 times."

Facundo F, CTO at DeployHQ
Claude Code vs Codex CLI vs Gemini CLI (2026 Comparison)Company blog post, DeployHQ
Facundo F's comparison recommends Gemini CLI for solo developers or small teams on a budget (1,000 free daily requests), for staying current via Google Search grounding, and for enterprises needing Apache 2.0 transparency. Claude Code leads on complex multi-file changes and Codex on CI/CD integration.
"Claude Code for thoroughness and production-readiness, Codex CLI for speed and CI/CD-specific tasks, Gemini CLI for staying current and educational output…"
Excerpt, Facundo F
"…we ran three identical tasks across all three CLIs on the same Node.js project…"

Testing AI coding agents (2025): Cursor vs. Claude, OpenAI, and GeminiIndependent benchmark, Render engineering blog
Alderson had to guide Gemini CLI through every step of a new Next.js app (3/10, 7 follow-up error prompts), but in a large Go API monorepo it did a cron-scheduler refactor on the first try. It averaged 6.8, matching Claude Code, and Alderson would pick it with Cursor to outfit an engineering team.
"Gemini and Cursor did the best and would be my first choice if I was outfitting an engineering team."

Vibe coded a stock tracker with Claude Code until it hit what "seems like" a project size past which it can't fix bugs. With Gemini CLI that size "seems to be quite a bit bigger": told to analyze the codebase and fix all bugs, plus a few more prompts, it left the app working.
