Is this the first free frontier coding agent? (I know there have been OSS coding agents for years, but not Codex/Claude Code.)

That depends on whether Gemini CLI counts. I've had generally bad experiences with it, but it is free for at least some usage.

Google also has aistudio.google.com which is Lovable competitor and its free for unlimited use. That seems to work so much better than gemini CLI even on similar tasks
