What happened?

I'm a Google One AI Pro user and use the Gemini CLI for my daily work. However, the Gemini CLI has recently become very unstable; it frequently freezes or becomes extremely sluggish when processing tasks. It also seems to suddenly become less capable, and some low-level coding problems become unfixable (for comparison, I can fix these problems using the gemma-4-31b-it model).

I wonder if anyone else has experienced the same problem, and how I can fix it?

What did you expect to happen?

Just a NORMAL code agent behavior.

TL;DR

The Gemini CLI instability may be related to the auto-gemini-3 model version, and switching to a different model like gemma-4-31b-it could potentially resolve the issue.

Guidance

  • Verify if the issue persists when using a different model version, such as gemma-4-31b-it, to isolate the problem.
  • Check if other users have reported similar issues with the auto-gemini-3 model version to determine if it's a widespread problem.
  • Consider reaching out to the Gemini CLI support team or community forums to report the issue and gather more information.
  • Review the Gemini CLI documentation to see if there are any known issues or limitations with the auto-gemini-3 model version.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the auto-gemini-3 model version, and switching to a different model may not be a permanent solution. More information is needed to determine the root cause of the problem.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try using a different model version, such as gemma-4-31b-it, to see if it resolves the issue. This is because the user has already reported success with this model version in fixing similar coding problems.
