What happened?

I am trying to use gemini-cli, I have version 0.36 and developer program. It only lets me select gemini-2.5 models, no trace of gemini-3 or later

What did you expect to happen?

I would like to use the gemini3 family of models

Client information

Run gemini to enter the interactive CLI, then run the /about command.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue is likely due to the Gemini CLI version 0.36 not supporting Gemini-3 models, and upgrading to a newer version may resolve the issue.

Guidance

  • Check the Gemini CLI documentation for supported models and versions to confirm the compatibility issue.
  • Look for any release notes or changelogs for Gemini CLI version 0.36 to see if there are any known limitations or workarounds for using Gemini-3 models.
  • Consider reaching out to the Gemini developer program support or community forums for guidance on using Gemini-3 models with the current version of the CLI.
  • Verify if there are any beta or preview versions of the Gemini CLI that support Gemini-3 models.

Notes

The current version of the Gemini CLI (0.36) may not support Gemini-3 models, and there is limited information available about the compatibility of different models with the CLI.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Reach out to the Gemini developer program support or community forums for guidance on using Gemini-3 models with the current version of the CLI, as there is no clear indication of a fixed version that supports Gemini-3 models.
