What if their telemetry shows very low usage? I've seen virtually no discussion of Gemini CLI online.

There's a fair amount of enterprise usage. It's a really good product, despite the Claude hype. Anthropic is a PITA to deal with, and it's slow as shit weekday morning Eastern time.

I use all 3 compared to what do you think Gemini CLI is a good product? (my only use case for it now is triple checking specifications for drift inconsistencies beyond that I find it pretty lacking compared to codex and cc).

> I think this is a systemic problem of an industry where gross margin is 80% explain how GOOG's margin is 80% what methodology do you use to derive that number? just curious.

Its 36% for Q1 2026. * https://i.imgur.com/3gDVMCk.png

The way I understood the 80% is that is the margin on the actual product. 36% is what remains after the “investments” in moonshot projects nobody asked for.

Gemini CLI was open source (Apache 2): https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli Antigravity CLI is not - the repo has a README and an animated gif demo: https://github.com/google-antigravity/antigravity-cli

Don't worry, it's just a VSCode fork

Agy cli is a giant pile of turd, at the moment, compared to the gemini cli. Though much much faster using the 3.5 flash, which is quite good, ridiculously fast and seems capable, but it has a 1 week expiry after you exhausted your very tiny pool of tokens. Sigh.

Migration is half assed, lots of extensions and mcps doesnt work Themes are fucked up (why not just copy everything over from geminicli?) agy cli doesn't know about itself and can't comment on basic things about its config ...

This is the Google messaging problem all over again. Hangouts, Google Chat, Google Hangout Google whatever the fuck, messaging, GMail chat, Google Wave, Google Duo, Google MS Teams. Now Meets Chat is Hangouts again!

Between this comment, and the comment above, I dont know what feels like fair criticism here. Having a single perfect product strategy with non-overlapping product categories and understandable names is hard for any organization, particularly in a rapidly evolving space. Its obviously an issue to have multiple mature products be chaotically names. At this moment antigravity and gemini cli and are hardly mature. Isn't…

Each consolidation is a reset. It's essentially a vote saying the brand recognition isn't strong enough, which implies a low confidence in the product

I think for the average corporate person in a non-software company, the "out of box" experience is better with Gemini. It's also cheap.

Once you get deeper into it, both Codex and Claude have better integrations with skills, etc. I sort of "discovered" skills via GStack and now use a few things, I find Claude's performance infuriating, but it can do more things. I happily pay $200 for Claude now, mostly for my own personal stuff. I think Gemini is better at external data sourcing and coding complex math.

But note this is my anecdotal take, mostly in the context of hobby projects. I'm a journeyman AI slinger at best.

The rest of out here watching usage and telemetry to decide where to invest, meanwhile, over at Google…

Except complaints that it's horrible, you mean?

Earlier this month I switched from Claude Code to Codex and wanted to try Gemini CLI as well. It felt far behind both CC and Codex but I wanted to give it another chance with the new Antigravity CLI. What can I say, it did surprise me and not in a good way in but two short sessions that included just two prompts (trying to reverse engineer some earbuds OTA firmware) using Gemini Flash 3.5, I managed to finish my weekly quota. I'm currently on the Google AI Pro subscription. Couldn't even figure out my tokens usage or if my plan is even counted toward usage inside Antigravity CLI.

You proved the point. Gemini has been marketed better, such that even folks in the know confuse Antigravity (the IDE) with anything else attempting to be pushed.

Antigravity CLI was only announced yesterday, so pretty much no one realizes it's different from Antigravity IDE yet, but I agree with your overall point. This kind of branding is toxic for individual product awareness. I'm not sure what drives the thinking behind it; Microsoft does it too (Copilot, etc.).

Took me this long down the thread to understand it wasn’t an IDE. Terrible marketing and product strat
