Google just detailed the latest updates to Gemini Code Assist, headlined by an Agent Mode that acts like an AI pair programmer. Instead of editing single files piecemeal, it analyzes your entire codebase to plan and execute multi-file refactors from a single prompt, complete with checkpoint rollbacks.
Google just upgraded Gemini Code Assist with its flagship Gemini 2.5 models, boosting reasoning and code generation. Developers can now feed entire folders into chat via a 1M token context window, set project-wide rules, create custom shortcut commands, and switch between multiple saved chat sessions. Personal users can try it for free in VS Code or JetBrains IDEs.
Google just rolled out Gemini for Google Cloud, infusing its flagship AI across developer, security, and data tools. Duet AI is now Gemini Code Assist, powered by Gemini 1.5 Pro to analyze entire codebases across GitHub and GitLab, while new assistants streamline cloud architecture and BigQuery workflows.
