I installed it, entered one prompt, clicked the "Proceed" button, and got "Model quota limit exceeded." Those quota limits brought me back down to earth quickly.

Especially since:

    There is currently no support for:

    Paid tiers with guaranteed quotas and rate limits
    Bring-your-own-key or bring-your-own-endpoint for additional rate limits
    Organizational tiers (self-serve or via contract)
So basically just another case of vendor lock-in. No matter whether the IDE is any good - this kills it for me.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It does? Google AI studio is their developer dashboard. Google Vertex is their equivalent of Amazon Bedrock. Google Gemini Chat is their ChatGPT app for normies. Google Antigravity is their Cursor equivalent.

I agree what you’ve listed makes sense as a product portfolio. But AI Studio is getting vibe coding tools. AI Studio also has a API that competes with Vertex. They have IDE plugins for existing IDEs to expose Chat, Agents, etc. They also have Gemini CLI for when those don’t work. There is also Firebase Studio, a browser based IDE for vibe coding. Jules, a browser based code agent orchestration tool. Opal, a node-base…

I concede.

This whole blog post is seemingly about Google, not about the user. "Why We Built Antigravity" etc. "We want Antigravity to be the home base for software development in the era of agents" - cool, why would I as the user care about that?

After using Google AI studio, Google Vertex, and Google Gemini Chat I honestly can't wait to use Google Antigravity! edit: Also Jules... snark off: I think the Google PMs should have coffee together and see if all of this sprawl makes any sense.

you forgot jules

Don't forget Gemini CLI

In another 2 years we'll probably be back to just "Google" as digital agent that can do any research, creative, or coding task you can imagine.

Work with what you love, and you will never love anything again.

I went ahead and downloaded it, it looks to be a VSCode fork very similar to Cursor, with support for the following models: - Gemini 3 Pro (High) - Gemini 3 Pro (Low) - Claude Sonnet 4.5 - Claude Sonnet 4.5 (Thinking) - GPT-OSS 120B (Medium)

Thank you for saying what this entire blog post doesn't. It's actually disrespectful of Google to launch this without even a mention of the fact that it is based on VSCode.

+1 - it also doesn't support remote ssh (the open vsx variant), so is probably only focused at local web design development vibe coding ;(

Should have just been an extension with a paid plan.
