You hit the limits on this like immediately (it’s 1000 requests which each tool call is a request and even then I’m convinced pro isn’t 1000).

Also data retention Gemini has which you have to download a vs code extension to turn off for the CLI.

It isn’t an enterprise product it’s a way to get data for tool calling for training as far as I see it (as it currently stands).


I’d be stunned if a 270m model could code with any proficiency.

If you have an iPhone with the semi-annoying autocomplete that’s a 34m transformer.

Can’t imagine a model (even if it’s a good team behind it) to do coding with 8x the parameters of a next 3/4 word autocomplete.



That was previous iterations, 2.5 is 1 million context window

https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/models (context window is details under model variant section with + signs)

They were meant to crank 2.5 to 2 million at some point though, maybe waiting now till 3?


Maybe consuming the resources internally.


I mean the Harry Potter books are 2M tokens.


Not a fork opencode is a from scratch project

Claude code is completely closed source and even DMCA’d people reverse engineering it.

I use opencode and never experienced it going through tokens at the speed I experienced Gemini CLI go through.

Cant speak to qwen or crush as I have not used them


The image model is literally the same model


I’d just use sst/opencode if using other models (I use it for Claude through Claude pro subscription too)


There’s something beautiful about creating a drop in replacement for something that improves performance substantially.

ScyllaDB comes to mind


Agreed. I figured nobody would use it otherwise.


Put it in there readme & description. It's a big selling point.


Thanks, I clarified it.


To be fair, many people have token stabbing needs.


When I ask it do to do something in cursor it goes full sherlock thinking about every possible outcome.

Just claude 4 sonnet with thinking just has a bit think then does it


The playwright MCP


Very cool—It seems to allow access to the page itself, not to the network or console tabs, correct?
