  • Hacker News
  • I have some super specialized workflow I wish I can run with their model, but looks like they don't allow programmatic call (claude code and codex allows it) in their plan.
  • Not sure if it solves your problem, but there's a command line tool for Antigravity
  • I canceled my Ultra subscription after realizing I had Sol constantly fixing anything I tried to do with Antigravity. The most frustrating experience and a waste of money. I’m sorry for Google and hope they manage to fix their disaster.
  • Where is the updated gemini pro model?
  • On the one hand this kind of harness work is pretty interesting, on the other the blog post is light on details and sounds like existing behavior of any high end model in Claude Code, Pi, or one of the litany of other projects that people seem to be cooking up on a daily basis.
  • I gave up on Antigravity when Google changed its rules around paid plans AI quotas, leading to my AI Pro getting depleted in up to four rounds.

    Have they ever gotten around to fixing it or is Antigravity only feasible with their Ultra plan?

  • I'm on AI Pro. Quality is obviously not on par with Codex/Claude, but I can't complain about quantity. It feels much closer to the usage limits we had before the big nerfs.
  • I personally gave up on Antigravity. The App itself was buggy, and it's been awhile since I even considered one of their models (maybe I should go back?). As a small personal shill I've been building www.freepi.ai which is totally free (ad+training) supported inference. It's using a PI harness but I have a webfrontend coming soon. I'd love your feedback!
  • > Plan availability: The /boost command is available on paid plans across Google Antigravity 2.0 and the Antigravity CLI.

    They are ignoring antigravity IDE like it does not exist anymore.

    https://antigravity.google/product/antigravity-ide

  • And yet I just installed Antigravity, and it had a default checked box to also install Antigravity IDE. So someone still cares enough to try and juice the install numbers
  • After everything they tried no-one ever expected Google to launch and immediately ignore a product.

    For real though, I think their reputation with developers is in the gutter after years of trial balloons.

  • > Google Antigravity's Editor view offers tab autocompletion, natural language code commands, and a configurable, and context-aware configurable agent.

    They’ve had this weird phrasing on this landing page for at least 6 months if not longer. It’s clearly a landing page that receives no love.

  • If you like the Antigravity 1.0 experience, Vscode+Antigravity Extension should be very close.
  • Judging by this entire page being the direct output of an LLM with little editing done at all I assume the feature is probably half baked and probably just a bunch of skills or harness tweaks? In that case, why would anyone pay for this at all?
  • My experience with Antigravity is that it will tell me it's completed a task or implementation that it hasn't. Like, the work is half-mostly done but not.
  • I had the same poor initial experience that others reported, but has anyone been paying for it recently and using it as a serious tool? Their new models are a pretty good value and crazy fast; I wonder if the Gemini on Antigravity output is overall competitive or has some niche use case other than being a frontend for Agent Substrate and their other projects
  • My experience recently is that antigravity CLI is much better than Gemini CLI now. Gemini would often get stuck in loops before. Fine for personal projects at least, especially for the price (got a year’s sub for $5 on G2A)

    But I don’t think it’s as good as Claude Code or Codex yet.

  • Am also curious on this! Though if it’s great now I’d need a sustained period of consistency (let’s say six months) before I try it again - the rollercoaster of getting a new randomized feature and quality experience every week got old pretty quick. (And I felt bad for recommending it to a few people at the time based on a good week)
  • It is used seriously inside Google (the internal equivalent version). Many people swear by it and many don't think it's as good as Claude/Codex.
  • I use it for all my non-professional work and I find it works well enough for me.

    Mostly for things that I know are possible and have a vague idea of how I would do it, but it would take me longer. Some examples in no particular order:

    * Made my wife's travel blog/site

    * Chrome extension for Crunchyroll to allow multisubs + local translation for unsupported languages (so my wife and I can watch and she doesn't need to focus extra hard reading English)

    * Same as above for Netflix

    * Setup multi subs with mpv (some Lua plugin shenanigans)

    * Setup proton for warcraft 3 + wc3 champions (unofficial ladder) on Linux

    * Setup a bunch of xrandr aliases for my different monitor uses (I'm still on x11)

    If you need a custom chrome/firefox extension or to create some bespoke Linux QoL stuff, it works great. This was all Gemini Flash 3.5-3.7 (been using it for a while). I suspect pretty much anything would succeed at these tasks, but I just stick with antigravity because it works for me(and I'm on some discounted plan).

  • Got off Gemini before they ended the cli, was not working for me, and went to Codex and opencode/deepseek flash v4 0731 which was working ok.

    But got the google ai pro free 1 yr student - been liking agy quite alot actually - pretty good weekly allotment. Like the default, Flash 3.7 high.

    Even bought extra credits I've been hammering it all day long.

    People talk all day about coding but where this thing amazes me is devops. It hooked itself to discord so i can command it, set up or troubleshoot ssh servers on my home network. Blew my mind a couple times.

  • I suffered with Antigravity 1 and 2 for a long time (I’m not some weirdo, I just run a blog where I do deep dives into AI tools for programming=). The desktop version was basically unusable, so I used the console one. A couple of weeks ago I finally dropped it and switched to Pi with antigr login. With plugins you can configure it however you want. I just installed one of a deep-search plugins too: you need to add API credits from a search engine, but it can run multiple search rounds with a specified depth.

    Compared $20 ChatGPT and AGY plan: my weekly limit on sol/terra used to disappear in one intensive day (or two normal ones). Now they’ve added the 5-hour limit on top of that, which is even more annoying. With Google I barely notice the limits at all — the only one is Opus 4.6 (not sure why it has one), and I only use it for double-checking sometimes.

    The biggest problem is that the Pro model hasn’t been updated, and Flash just doesn’t produce solutions of the same quality as Sol. But it is matter of time...

  • I got my account blocked for using antigravity with pi, has that policy changed?
  • All these /boost, ultracode and other magic incancations seem to be just "throw more money/tokens at the problem and maybe it helps".
  • "Hope" suggests that it's not backed by data.
  • I found they work pretty well for security reviews or similar large scale, file-by-file transformations.
  • > /boost, ultracode and other magic incancations

    ultracode is different to ultrathink (because of course it is...)

    ultrathink was "throw more tokens" (it was a Claude feature that has gone away[1])

    ultracode is "throw more tokens AND write code that creates and orchastrates subagents": https://code.claude.com/docs/en/workflows

    [1] https://claudelog.com/faqs/what-is-ultrathink/ claims it has returned, but that might not be accurate

  • It's impressive how badly Google has screwed up their models and coding products. There was a brief period of time I was using Anti-gravity as my daily driver when they first introduced it and then they just completely screwed it up.
  • And these are the guys who invented transformers! How?
  • How? Can you explain how they screwed it up.
