FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a Google account to use Gemini in Claude Code?
No — one CompanyFabric key covers Gemini 3.1 Pro and every other model in the library. Billing is one prepaid balance with exact per-call metering; BYOK at 0% is available if you already have provider keys.
What does Gemini 3.1 Pro cost in Claude Code?
$2 / M input · $8 / M output — the same metered price as any other route to the model. Set a per-key budget cap to bound what the tool can spend.
Can I switch models later without touching Claude Code again?
Yes — the endpoint stays the same; the model is a string. Any catalog id works in the same configuration, including cheaper tiers for bulk work.
Why run Gemini inside Claude Code instead of Gemini CLI?
Harness maturity — if your team already lives in Claude Code (hooks, MCP servers, workflows), switching the brain is one flag; switching the harness is a migration.
