Gemini CLI

The gemini-3-pro-preview model is available in the NexoAI catalog, but the stock Gemini CLI speaks Google's Gemini-native API. NexoAI's documented client contracts are the OpenAI-compatible and Anthropic-compatible shapes, so a base-URL override alone does not translate Gemini-native requests into either supported shape.

Compatibilité, sans deviner

Do not point GOOGLE_GEMINI_BASE_URL at NexoAI or put a NexoAI key in GEMINI_API_KEY unless the NexoAI dashboard explicitly announces Gemini-native API support. Those variables change the destination, not the request schema.

Model availability is not protocol compatibility

Seeing gemini-3-pro-preview in the NexoAI model catalog means you can call that model through a supported NexoAI API shape. It does not make every Google-native client OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible.

Use the Gemini model today

Configure an OpenAI-compatible tool with the NexoAI base and key:

bash
export OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://api.nexoai.dev"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-your-key"

Then select gemini-3-pro-preview as the model in that tool. The curl, Python, and Node.js examples all work with that model by changing the model field.

Confirm this model is served first

gemini-3-pro-preview is in the catalog, but catalogued does not mean routable. Check https://nexoai.dev/models — if it shows Coming soon, this config will return a model-not-found error even with a valid key. claude-sonnet-5 is served today.

For an agentic terminal workflow, use Codex with the nexoai provider and set:

toml
model = "gemini-3-pro-preview"

When direct setup becomes available

Direct Gemini CLI support requires a documented Gemini-native endpoint at the gateway, not just a catalog model. When NexoAI exposes that contract, this page should specify the exact CLI version, authentication mode, base variable, and a tested health request. Until then, the OpenAI-compatible route is the supported path and avoids silently sending a NexoAI key to the wrong service.

Never test a key against an unknown host

Before placing a NexoAI key in any third-party variable, confirm that the configured base URL is https://api.nexoai.dev and that the client uses a supported API shape.
