I was trying to test the gemini-cli using code assist standard.

To this day I am unable to access the models they say I should be able to.

I still get 2.5 only, despite enabling previews in the google cloud config etc etc.

The access seems to randomly turn on and off and swaps depending on the auth used (Oauth, api-key, etc)

The entire gemini-cli repo looks like it is full of slop with 1000 devs trying to be the first to pump every issue into claude and claim some sort of clout.

It is an absolute shit show and not a good a look.
