Tools & Open Source

Google Brings Gemini AI to the Command Line — Google’s experimental Gemini API CLI lets developers and coding agents generate media, analyze files and run research tasks from the terminal. Structured outputs and direct-to-disk media simplify automation and reduce agents’ context clutter. Google ↗

My takeaway: I personally like working with CLI commands. That's why I prefer using Claude Code or Codex in the terminal rather than through graphical apps. Now, with the Gemini API CLI, other agents with shell access can use Gemini models too.

Grok releases seven-minute opening episode of AI-generated ‘Odyssey’ — Grok has published the first episode of its AI-made adaptation of The Odyssey. TechCrunch’s reviewer argues that some shots look convincing, but the footage lacks artistry, inspiration or human interest. TechCrunch AI ↗

My takeaway: Media generation is one of the features my service is going to offer shortly, and I built the agents behind it. As you can see in this Odyssey video, the visual quality can sometimes be unbelievably high. Producing video at this quality is still expensive, especially when you factor in high resolution, repeated attempts and a 7 minutes runtime. But costs seem to be coming down as more capable open-weight video generation models become available. We're entering an era where anyone can direct their own movie.
