Yeah, the generosity of Anthropic is vastly less than OpenAI. Which is, itself, much less than Gemini (I've never paid Google a dime, I get hours of use out of gemini-cli every day). I run out of my weekly quota in 2-3 days, 5-hour quota in ~1 hour. And this is 1-2 tasks at a time, using Sonnet (Opus gets like 3 queries before I've used my quota).

Right now OpenAI is giving away fairly generous free credits to get people to try the macOS Codex client. And... it's quite good! Especially for free.

I've cancelled my Anthropic subscription...

How recent is your information?

Google significantly reduced the free quota and removed pro models from gemini cli some 2-3 moths ago.

Also, Gemini models eat tokens like crazy. Something Codex and Code would do with 2K tokens takes Gemini 100K. Not sure why.

I guess I’ve never tried the pro models, because I’ve used gemini-cli free every day for the last three months or so.

It does eventually finish its quota, but then I just switch to a different Google account (which, amusingly, is what Gemini told me to do).

Happy to consume Google’s free tokens! The free model is a distant third for coding, but it’s fine for leaf node work in a larger project.

Hmm, I might have to try Gemini. Open AI, Claude and Gemini are all explicitly approved by my employer. Especially since we use GSuite anyway
