Google actually changed it somewhat recently (3 months ago, give or take) and you can use Gemini CLI with the "regular" Google AI Pro subscription (~22eur/month). Before that, it required a separate subscription

I can't find the announcement anymore, but you can see it under benefits here https://support.google.com/googleone/answer/14534406?hl=en

The initial separate subscriptions were confusing at best. Current situation is pretty much same as Anthropic/OpenAI - straightforward

Edit: changed ~1 month ago (https://old.reddit.com/r/Bard/comments/1npiv2o/google_ai_pro...)

I see -- but does this allow me to us the models within "Antigravity" with the same subscription?

I poked around and couldn't figure this out.

I don't know either tbh. I wouldn't be surprised it the answer is no (and it will come later or something like that)

I also tried to use Gemini 3 in my Gemini CLI and it's not available yet (it's available to all Ultra, but not all Pro subscribers), I needed to sign up to a waitlist

All in all, Google is terrible at launching things like that in a concise and understandable way

Back in the early 00s having a 'waitlist' for gmail with invites was an exciting buzz-making marketing technique and justifiable technically.

This is just irritating. I am not going to give them money until I know I can try their latest thing and they've made it hard for me to even know how I can do that.

early gmail invite codes went for like $100 if I recall correctly..
Might not be decided yet. The AG pricing page says:

"Public preview Individual plan $0/month"

"Coming soon Team plan"

how do i actually make it use that though? i got a free year of subscription from buying a phone, but all i get is the free tier in the gemini cli
I also got 1 year through buying my pixel. If you login with the same account through Gemini CLI, it should work (works for me)

However, Gemini CLI is a rather bad product. There is (was?) an issue that makes the CLI fall back to flash very soon in every session. This comment explains it well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45681063

I haven't used it in a while, except for really minor things, so I can't tell if this is resolved or not
