Rust coding agent for Gemini Thinking
gem is a Rust-specific LLM coding agent that uses free Gemini / Google Services
to work on coding tasks and automatically apply changes. It assumes that rustc and
cargo are installed and queries information about source code, dependencies, system
information.
The reason to use gem over Claude Code is that it is significantly cheaper, since Gemini has a very generous "free usage tier". Also, gem will automatically switch between different models, depending on the task at hand.
gem runs a feedback loop until the --verify with command is executed succesfully
(by default, this is cargo build), meaning it will fetch the Rust compilation errors
and correct itself.
gem uses "thinking" models for its execution and "flash" models for data gathering.
