In those rare occasion when I want to use Gemini I just type gemini on my terminal. Gemini was on life support on my side. I barely get to use it due to its subpar performance in coding, which is to be honest the only use I have of it. And now I read that they spent 4 to 5 months testing 3.5 internally. Let that sink in. By the time they release the world has moved on. I don’t know who makes decisions at Google regar…

I get what you're saying about Gemini for coding and it's useful that you mention it. I wonder though if Google isn't so worried about the viability of their coding AIs and have a longer term view than simply providing coding aids. This might also be indicated by their recent $40B investment in Anthropic, https://www.cnbc.com/2026/04/24/google-to-invest-up-to-40-bi... ...Only time will tell!

I think google has another 'problem': Gemini needs to do a lot more than claude.

They use Gemini for personal assistent to all of their Gmail and co users/customers. They have Google Docs, they have GCP were gemini should support you too.

They also have a lot more languages to support too.

They optimize Gemini for A LOT more than 'just' coding. So its probably a balance act for them. And because they are that rich and have no issues on compute and brain, they can play the long game easily.

If they push their tpu further and continue their build out, they will be able to start training high quality topic optimized models in parallel while everyone else needs the same amount to just train one main model.

Whoever is in charge of these decisions, is absolutely disconnected with the reality. First they sent a message saying the Ultra plan is ending, with no other option for a Workspace use to buy an equivalent plan. It was suppose to be active tilll June or July 7 , that's all. So the users are not suppose to know how they will need to plan or budget and just guess. I read once that after a certain level , the managers…

Combining Gemini and Antigravit is probably good.

But that i pay for some 2tb storage and i'm a 'pro' user while not really a 'pro'user and that there is another 'pro' package makes all of that very weird. This is something they need to clean up

What is preventing them from making a coding dedicated model if that's the issue?

Tried making an MCP server with Antigravity CLI. Antigravity CLI suffers from an identity crisis caused by a tool/ecosystem change: "I am unsure if I should be reading Gemini documentation, Gemini CLI documentation, Antigravity documentation or Antigravity CLI documentation". It couldn't really correctly answer how I should be registering the MCP server in its own system until I googled it.

Google Takeout doesn't work properly for exporting Gemini chats.

Antigravity locks your chats locally behind .pb files.

Nothing to export your very own data.

OpenAI is best at personal data export. Claude has something at least, despite being quirky. Yet, Google looks very purpose-built to not give anything back.

Gemini CLI was my late entry into AI-assisted work.

It was included in my employers workspace subscription so I tried it out last june, and that's how I finally understood the power of AI.

Then they announced that it was no longer included in our license and I bought my own Claude license instead, the employer went with another AI company.

So your loss Google.

Google really can’t help themselves but to have some internal re-org kill off a public thing people are actively using. It’s honestly impressive how consistent they are.

The usual playbook is they rename it a few times first, then they kill it.

And then later re-use the name for another product which is almost but not entirely unlike the original.

Lots of people throwing shade at Gemini CLI in the comments. I'm not saying it's perfect, but I enjoy using it. I haven't tried antigravity at all yet. I hope it will be an experience that is somewhat close to agentic coding on the CLI. I hit other model providers from Pi agent, but I'd like to be able to take advantage of my Google AI subscription on the CLI.

I'm in the same boat. I've been using the Gemini CLI since late last year - it's the only reason I moved up to Ultra.

I guess it's time to move to something else with a business model that might survive a reorg.

Update: unsubscribed from Google Ultra, moving to Claude Max

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…
