I would love to sign up for antigravity cli but when I click on Get Plan it says: “This account isn't eligible for Google Antigravity benefits included with Google AI plans Google Antigravity benefits included with Google AI plans aren't available in some countries or for people under a certain age. Learn more about Google One feature eligibility.” With a button that says “Explore Google AI Plans” that when I click o…

This is why people use Gemini on OpenRouter. Same model, don't have to deal with Google billing.

As luck would have it, I tried Antigravity for the first time a few days ago. It was a complete buggy mess - at one point I asked Gemini why it could not use the network despite having network access enabled in the sandbox settings, and it told me that although it had network access, it couldn't use mdnsresponder while running with the built-in sandbox. Like, how well thought out, network access without DNS. After bu…

My experience with any built in sandboxing for these command line tools has been awful. What I've done instead is built a script to create a disposable virtual machine (using incus to manage it). And then I just run the CLI inside the virtual machine and delete the vm at the end of each day.

I built a pi extension. Pi repo has an example extension that uses anthropics sandbox which is a total buggy mess. (To be clear, that's anthropics sandbox itself, not the pi extension wrapper which is fine)

I dug into it a little bit to see about improving things there, but decided to write a minimal version that better suited my needs instead.

How does anyone internally at Google justify these decisions? Even if there are competing implementations, in terms of brand recognition, I feel like “Gemini” is more closely associated with Google than “Antigravity”. Why pick the more obscure option?! Perhaps they felt the sentiment on Gemini CLI was beyond repair, but surely there must be some voice on the inside saying “developers will never adopt our products if…

By unifying the billing and quota systems, as well as providing better integration, I presume The Antigravity harness is by far better than the gemini-cli one. Antigravity also offers models other than Gemini as well. When you say Antigravity, you think of a platform whereas when you say Gemini you think of the model It's great that gemini-cli is open-source, but that also comes with a bunch of ai-generated issues an…

> When you say Antigravity, you think of a platform

Absolutely not? When you say "Antigravity" then the first thing that comes to mind is "yet another IDE" and I have no desire in switching my IDE.

Mechanics that I found in the binary with a few agents, more information than I could glean from the GitHub page or the docs: - A Chrome DevTools Protocol / Playwright client. - macOS Seatbelt sandbox (--sandbox flag) with some special Node / v8 stuff. - Sentry for crash reporting and Unleash for feature flags. - A SKILL.md system mirroring Anthropic's skills convention. - Subagents, an artifacts review workflow (sla…

Antigravity CLI, like Gemini CLI, is a copy of most of Claude Code. At least in Antigravity CLI they copied the better UI as well. The scope of copying includes support for definitions of Agents, Skills, Commands, Plugins, MCP and so on. In fact, for some time, the Gemini CLI "extensions" documentation referred directly to Claude Code marketplace repositories. An artifact of this is that for example CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR is made available to hooks, by Gemini CLI.

This is why most devs I know have stopped building anything serious on top of Googles AI tools. You cant build a workflow around something that gets renamed or killed every 6 months. Anthropic and OpenAI atleast understand that developer trust requires stability, Google still treats their AI devtools like consumer products. Ship it, rebrand it, kill it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I am really curious to know about the people who are downvoting this. I really want to know why, genuinely.

Public companies operate for the benefit of shareholders.

Which is "Google" in this sense, the employees are just workers, Google is not a coop. Google operates for Google, or it's owners which are the shareholders. No?
