🆓 Free Assistant for Programmers from Google

Google has launched a beta version of Gemini Code Assist for individuals. Developers can integrate the AI into their codebase and interact with it via a chatbot, checking and enhancing their code.

The Code Assist for personal use has a contextual window of 128,000 tokens and allows for 180,000 code completions per month, which is 90 times more than the free tier of GitHub Copilot.

The head of Code Assist development stated that the goal of the free tier is to attract developers in the early stages of their careers, with the intention of later transitioning them to the paid version of the product.

I'm doubtful about its intelligence, but hey, it's free!
