Google dropped a free dev tool that might wreck Codex and Claude Code overnight. No paywall, no BS, just Gemini Pro 2.5 in your terminal with insane usage limits.
What are on FIRE 🔥
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH BELAY
Economic pressure is rising, and doing more with less has become the new reality. But surviving a downturn isn’t about stretching yourself thinner; it’s about protecting what matters most.

BELAY helps you stay ready for whatever comes next.
AI INSIGHTS
Take note: Google’s new Gemini CLI gives you free access to Gemini Pro 2.5 right inside your terminal, with up to 1,000 daily requests and no credit card required. You can audit the code, customize it, and never worry about hitting a paywall.
🛠 What is Gemini CLI?
Google's new command-line interface (CLI) gives you a natural-language AI assistant. And it's not just about code. You can also:
Generate videos with Veo 3
Create research reports with Deep Research Agent
Pull real-time data via Google Search
Connect to external databases using MCP (Model Context Protocol) to:
Build your own extensions
Plug into other agents and services (e.g. Google’s Imagen or Veo)
Customize workflows with project-specific files
💸 It's Actually Free (No, Seriously)
Unlike OpenAI Codex CLI or Claude Code, Gemini CLI isn’t just “free for now” but built to stay free with 1,000 requests/day
→ Based on internal usage stats from Google engineers, this limit is twice what most devs actually use. “We don’t want you watching a token meter like it’s a taxi”
Gemini CLI runs locally (models run in the cloud) but with tight sandboxing and transparency → Every command requires approval: allow once, always allow, or deny. You only share what you type or upload.
Why It Matters: Open-source + free + powerful = massive adoption loop. Codex and Claude Code now look expensive and closed-off by comparison. It’s free now but it might end up costing OpenAI and Anthropic a whole lot in market share.

AI HIGHLIGHTS
🖼 You can now try Google’s latest image model, Imagen 4 & Imagen 4 Ultra, for Free. Both are available in AI Studio at no cost for “a limited time”. It’s better to try it now.
🤳 Insta automated! A Redditor claims they used AI agents to put “Instagram account on full autopilot,” generating 4.4M views in just 3 weeks. Here’s how (not too hard!)
🤙 Claude just made every user a no-code app dev. You can build your shareable mini-app for free just by telling what you want. We find these demos quite cool to try.
👨💻 You know $1B+ companies like Docusign and Calendly? It’s wild that they, as single-feature, could now [be] vibe-coded in a weekend. Even vibe-code distribution!? Here’s the discussion.
💼 Recruiters reported a 45% rise in AI resumes, leading to 11K submissions per minute. This is what Rohan Paul called an “AI vs AI” job screening arms race.
🧠 Senator Bernie Sanders that if AI makes us so productive, we should get a 4-day workweek without pay cuts. This is a fair redistribution of AI’s gains. AI = layoffs → AI = liberation.
💰 AI Daily Fundraising: Johnson & Johnson MedTech launched a new AI fund for surgery with Nvidia and AWS, offering up to $100,000 in grants to boost AI tools for surgical care, data, and governance.

AI CHART
A new study from Stanford University and the World Bank just revealed that using gen AI reduces the time to complete common work tasks by over 60%. Tasks that used to take 2 hours now take 30 minutes.
🔧 Technical & Analytical Tasks See Huge Gains
Troubleshooting: 115 min → 28 min (↓76%)
Complex Problem Solving: 122 min → 30 min (↓75%)
Critical Thinking: 102 min → 27 min (↓74%)
Math & Programming Tasks: Often saw 1-hour+ reductions
✍️ Human-Centric Tasks Get a Boost Too
Writing: 80 min → 25 min (↓69%)
Judgement & Decision Making: 79 min → 28 min (↓65%)
Instructing: 93 min → 31 min (↓67%)
Even Time Management dropped by 62%
LLM usage at work jumped from 30% (Dec 2024) to 43% (Apr 2025). It shows how quickly workers are embracing generative tools like ChatGPT and Claude.
If tasks take 60–70% less time, do we really need 40-hour weeks? (Bernie Sanders might be onto something with his 4-day workweek push above)
→ Metrics like “hours worked” may finally die. Output and quality will matter more than clocking in.
