Reviewer scorecard
“The free tier is incredibly generous. Multimodal capabilities and grounding with Google Search are unique advantages.”
“Revived by the Nx team and better than ever. The standard for publishing multiple npm packages from a monorepo.”
“Google's track record of killing products is concerning, but the Gemini API is too useful to ignore.”
“Was nearly dead, but Nx's stewardship brought it back. For npm publishing workflows, it's still the go-to.”
“Google's data advantage and multimodal-first approach make Gemini a serious contender in the model race.”
“Nx and Turborepo are the future of monorepo tooling. Lerna is a legacy tool that works but isn't innovating.”
