Gemini CLI is a free, open source coding agent that brings AI to your terminal

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-28 17:00:04

Some developers prefer to live in the command line interface (CLI), eschewing the flashy graphics and file management features of IDEs. Google's latest AI tool is for those terminal lovers. It's called Gemini CLI, and it shares a lot with Gemini Code Assist, but it works in your terminal environment instead of integrating with an IDE. And perhaps best of all, it's free and open source. Gemini CLI plugs into Gemini 2.5 Pro, Google's most advanced model for coding and simulated reasoning. It can

NurPhoto/Contributor/Getty The next time you can't remember the name of that song that's stuck in your head, Gemini might be able to help you. One lesser-known feature of Google Assistant was the ability to identify a song, either by letting it listen to a track that was playing or by humming the tune. Pixel phones have a similar feature built in, but if you were on another Android device, you were just left wondering since Assistant switched to Gemini (or you resorted to the Google app or a t

I wrote my PhD Thesis in Typst I recently submitted my PhD thesis, and while waiting for the physical copies to get printed I thought I'd write about something you (hopefully) wouldn't notice when reading it. I wrote it in Typst, not LaTeX. In this post I will talk a bit about what went well and what didn't. Typst (https://typst.app/) is a modern take on a typesetting language that I think has a real shot at dethroning LaTeX. I would describe the language as a mix of markdown and dynamically t

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-04 09:13:08

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Gemini has finally received another long-awaited Google Assistant feature. The chatbot can now identify songs playing nearby using the Google app’s Song Search feature. Previously, Gemini would recommend using third-party music recognition apps when asked to identify a song. Gemini lacked several Google Assistant features at launch, but steady updates from Google have brought it closer to being a comprehensive replacement for the legacy voice assistant.

Daniel Rausch, Amazon’s vice president of Alexa and Echo, is in the midst of a major transition. More than a decade beyond the launch of Amazon’s Alexa, he’s been tasked with creating a new version of the marquee voice assistant, one that’s powered by large language models. As he put it in my interview with him, this new assistant, dubbed Alexa+, is “a complete rebuild of the architecture.” How did his team approach Amazon’s largest ever revamp of its voice assistant?

Android may soon recommend you use an ‘optimized’ voice assistant — here’s what that really means

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR OEMs can now highlight specific digital assistants as “optimized” for their Android devices in the default app settings. Google says it created the feature at an OEM’s request so OEMs can recommend assistants verified to work with their first-party applications. While Google says it won’t do this on its own Pixel phones, the feature comes as the company is facing growing regulatory pressure. For many years, Google Assistant was widely seen as the best

If you have cable internet, then you're using DOCSIS technology. DOCSIS, which stands for Data Over Cable Service Interface Specifications, is a standard that defines how your modem relays cable internet signals going to and from your home. If you have cable internet, whether from Cox, Spectrum, Xfinity or one of many regional cable internet providers like Armstrong, you're using a DOCSIS-compliant modem. The DOCSIS 4.0 cable modem is ideal since it produces faster upload speeds. But while spec
