All these /boost, ultracode and other magic incancations seem to be just "throw more money/tokens at the problem and maybe it helps".

> /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

As someone on a google workspace plan, where the monthly price went up to include AI features, I’m disappointed that google won’t let me sign up for antigravity development plans with my workspace google ID. To the best of my knowledge, as of last week, the recommendation is to sign up with a different, personal google id.

It feels like such a stereotypical big corp misstep, but based on the reputation that google’s AI products have, I guess I’m not _that_ heartbroken. It’s mostly frustration that they forced the price increase on everyone, and I’m definitely not receiving the benefit.

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 AP…

I got my account blocked for using antigravity with pi, has that policy changed?

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.

How? Can you explain how they screwed it up.

Probably like many big companies, internal politics, empire building. It would explain why their AI products are such a mess to navigate.

Same. The reason I gave up was their limit inconsistency. I signed up for their cheapest sub and got what I felt was fair. I subbed for ultra and hammered the opus as much as I could - first week I couldnt hit the 5h limit at all, used 80% of weekly limit. Second week I couldnt hit the 5h limit at all, used up my weekly limit 1 day before reset. Third week I was hitting 5h limits by hour 3, weekly limit in 4 days. La…

I gave up on antigravity when they retroactively changed the limits. I learnt that I'd exceeded the new, lower limits when I sat down to use it one evening - despite not having touched it for a few days. I don't mind limits, but something about the retroactive application and how it unexpectedly forced me to change my plans really angered me - I cancelled my subscription that day and have used other tools since.

A real lesson in how not to treat your customers. I would probably still be paying for it if they'd applied the new limits more softly.

you're telling me an AGENT is CONTEXT-AWARE? what a time to be context aware

I think the question meant "to what extent did they mess it up" not "how did it happen".

What should you be looking out for as bad behavior from this model? I've daily-driven 3.5, 3.6, and now 3.7 for however long it's been out (alongside Opus, as I hit daily limits on both subs each day) and haven't noticed anything "untrustworthy".

3.6 is not good. 3.7 is very reliable.

same experience. I was disappointed with 3.6 flash, but 3.7 seems a game changer IMO. Gemini 3.7 flash is really really near frontier intelligence at an order of magnitude cheaper and an order of magnitude faster. The speed is a major feature, I feel this is overlooked

Well the subscriptions are kind of coming to an end anyway because they can't support the subsidies. 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!
