Gemini Code Assist: Consumer Version Discontinued in 2026

Google has ended the consumer version of Gemini Code Assist for individual users. As of June 18, 2026, the IDE extension and CLI access are no longer available. Gemini Code Assist will continue to be offered to organizations through its Standard and Enterprise editions. Individuals are now directed to Google's Antigravity products. This change is a key factor when comparing AI coding tools like Cursor and GitHub Copilot. The comparison also looks at pricing and features for Cursor and GitHub Copilot. Cursor is best for developers wanting an AI-native editor, while GitHub Copilot suits most individual developers and GitHub-based teams. This information helps users decide which AI coding tool fits their needs.
