Gemini Code Assist will be shut down on July 17
- dude250711 3mo agoShut down the whole thing.
- KptMarchewa 3mo ago> Important: The enterprise version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is a separate and distinct product from Gemini Code Assist Enterprise. Ah yes, the famous clarity with Google product naming. Nearly as good as Microsoft's naming.
- glimshe 3mo agoCame here to say this. I have no idea what these products are supposed to be. Very much "Windows Github Copilot Home", "Github Enterprise Office 365", "Docs Gemini Assist One", "Windows Copilot Pro Educational"

- tatsuya-tamaya 3mo agoThis is exactly the kind of risk I try to flag when reviewing AI tools for non-technical solopreneurs — a tool being genuinely good today says nothing about whether it'll still exist in 6 months. I've started weighting "how painful is it if this disappears" almost as heavily as the feature set itself, because the people I write for don't have the bandwidth to migrate on short notice if something like this happens. Was anyone here building a real workflow around Code Assist specifically, or was it more of a nice-to-have layered on top of something else?
- throw_m239339 3mo agoMost of these free AI coding tool/agents won't exist anymore by 2028. This LLM thing is so expensive to run, it's understandable that these corporations are moving to the monetization phase. What solopreneurs also need to worry about is that the cost for these tools is likely to increase... exponentially, because even paid, the plans are still heavily subsidized... when the profit seeking phase kicks in, some people indeed will be there for a rude awakening... I personally do not to rely heavily on these tools for my projects, because I know what's going to happen.

- gnabgib 3mo agoURL should probably be: [Sunset of the Consumer version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub](https://developers.google.com/gemini-code-assist/docs/deprecations/consumer-code-review https://developers.google.com/gemini-code-assist/docs/deprec...) Code Assist isn't being shut down (despite the editatorialized title), they're just not giving it away for free anymore.
- ghusto 3mo agoThat's one way to frame it. For those who adopted Code Assist and made it part of their process, it's at best a technicality, at worst extortion.
- crazysim 3mo agoWho's making the PR? https://killedbygoogle.com/ https://killedbygoogle.com/
- philipwhiuk 3mo agoThis is separate from https://github.com/codyogden/killedbygoogle/pull/1694 https://github.com/codyogden/killedbygoogle/pull/1694 right?
- m4rtink 3mo agoThank you Google, you are one of the last remaining companies we can depend on behaving consistently! Please never change! ;-)
- dgellow 3mo agoI think the title is wrong, it's "Gemini Code Assist on GitHub" for non-enterprise users that is being shut down. Not "Gemini Code Assist". Yes their naming scheme is absurd
- philipwhiuk 3mo agoNote also: > Unpaid tier (Gemini Code Assist for individuals) and Google One users only: Gemini CLI and Gemini Code Assist IDE extensions will be replaced by Antigravity CLI and Antigravity on June 18th. Please migrate to avoid disruption.

- imglorp 3mo agoWhat the doublespeak hell is this? > The enterprise version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is a separate and distinct product from Gemini Code Assist Enterprise.
- esperent 3mo agoA while back I evaluated using Google's AI products for my company and this is barely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to confusing naming. I left so confused after a few days that I decided there was no way I could inflict that on anyone else in the company. I think the were some good ideas in there but I couldn't tell you which of the ~40 (at least) similarly named products those were.
- derektank 3mo agoI did wind up choosing GCP to be our primary enterprise AI provider and it has definitely been a challenge to try and explain the difference between Vertex AI Studio, Gemini Enterprise, and Gemini Enterprise Code Assist, to say nothing of trying to explain that these three products are not the same thing as the consumer version of Gemini that they can find when they google “Gemini AI”. The branding is godawful.
- rapind 3mo agoHighly recommend exerting the extra effort it takes to remain portable with your AI workflow. Not just to workaround typical Google shut downs, but also the incoming price hikes.
- nok22kon 3mo agothe more portable everyone is, the more arbitrage will happen - cheap providers will raise prices too because users will flow to them
- xnx 3mo agoThis is not a theory of market competition that I've heard before.
- kasey_junk 3mo agoIt’s also an usual use of the term arbitrage
- nok22kon 3mo agoyou will not want 20 different accounts at 20 providers, you'll have one at a "token arbitrage" provider - OpenRouter drop-shipping is a form of arbitrage
- nok22kon 3mo agobasic supply/demand demand moves to cheaper providers, they ran out of capacity and increase price literally why "commodities" are "commodities" - the more interchangeable a product is the more exposed it is to supply/demand mechanics
- xnx 3mo agoAgree. The less "stuck" a customer is to a given provider, the more that prices should equalize between providers.
- kingkongjaffa 3mo agoIf google ever fails it will be because they are fundamentally bad at product management.
- the_other 3mo agoTheir product is ads slots and data, which they seem to be brilliant at. Everything else is a funnel to feed the ads, and the funnels change like wvery other marketing funnel.

- esafak 3mo agoIt was good while it lasted, genuinely and consistently finding errors. I migrated to https://github.com/zeflq/pi-reviewer https://github.com/zeflq/pi-reviewer so I can be in control. There are commercial alternatives, of course.
- zydrahydra 3mo agoGoogles AI stuff and tiers are probably the most confusing ever because it feels like they rename it all the time. If you subscribe by the time you pay, it has a different name again and the documentation and blogs are all over the place they basically now call everything Google One. It's like all the appliance manufacturers where every store has a different id for the same machine.
- giancarlostoro 3mo agoThe other problem is the pricing includes a bunch of other Google crap I have zero interest in. They're doing the same mistake Microsoft is doing. People like me want only the coding subscription, not everything else that's shoved into it. When I buy into Claude, I am into it for Claude Code, if I cared to give Scam Altman any money it would be for Codex.

- toyg 3mo agoThat's by design. It's like asking cable companies to only have this or that channel, or netflix to let you pay just for standup comedy specials. The bundle is the bundle, the hits subsidize the misses.
