I wondered why they updated the Gemini Chat modes today, removing "Thinking" and adding "Thinking level" to Flash. Looks like marketing has been working overtime.

Why are these comments being downvoted?

Is Antigravity CLI replacing Gemini CLI?

Looks like it. Found this:

> On June 18, 2026, Gemini CLI and Gemini Code Assist IDE extensions will stop serving requests for Google AI Pro and Ultra, as well as those using it free of charge using Gemini Code Assist for individuals.

can't wait to hear all about the new Agentic workflows you can build with AI and build with agentic agent swarms and build more workflows to do more with Enterprise AI with Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform and elevate efficiency with the power of AI and unlock value with AI agents. also can't wait to hear more about AI integrations across Google AI Workspace, like AI Gmail or AI docs (powered by Gemini Enterprise AI)…

i went to Google Cloud Next last month, this comment is on point

I was curious and just installed it, and... Antigravity is a literal clone of VSCode. Wtf? Honestly, it's so embarassing. I might write a blog post about this, but I remember falling in love with the art of product watching Google demo Google Wave. Janky sure, ahead-of-its-time maybe, but also visionary and mind-blowing. Here we are almost two decades later and Google is re-releasing something made by Microsoft. The…

Erm - It is VSCode.

https://antigravity.google/ and https://antigravity.google/product

Nowhere on their marketing copy do they own up to that. Even the majority of the UI screenshots intentionally exclude the full UI look and feel and most are plucked out to not even look contextually like they're part of a greater IDE interface. It very much feels like they want to call it their own and not a fork of VS Code.

But wait, there's more ... you can also view https://antigravity.google/product/antigravity-2 where it's no longer a VS Code fork but now a clone of Claude Desktop!

I think it's a fair to label this all as unoriginal and uninspiring.

"AI Mode" usage is up month over month. Almost like because they forced it upon everyone. Once again, is there any real AI demand?

Not surprising. It’s placed exactly where the regular search results used to be (when navigating away from image results) and muscle memory is strong. Haven’t clicked it intentionally once though.

I've used it for live service video games, it's pretty good at summarizing major changes to a game since you've played it last. With regular web search you'd have to go to every major patch and a lot of games don't even have good patch notes / it's all stuck in content creator videos.

Though I still prefer Claude for this since it's better at citing sources.
