- crakhamster01 9小时前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 we keep killing them”.

- opsnooperfax 2小时前I think this is a systemic problem of an industry where gross margin is 80% or higher, so you can plow all that extra money into superfluous headcount tasked with objectives of questionable business value. It’s a curse of riches, if you will. The rest of us living on 15 to 30% margins need to think a little harder about what we do and why.
- ur-whale 19分钟前> 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.
- hydra-f 8小时前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 and pull-requests, which is sure to impede development
- dzikimarian 48分钟前I don't ever say "Antigravity", because it's not worth getting invested into tool, that will be dead in two years, when "Google Harness" or whatever they will call it, will replace it
- tauntz 6小时前> 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.
- decimalenough 5小时前It's not an IDE, it's a way to run agents. In particular, the Antigravity CLI positioned as Gemini CLI's successor is a shell with superpowers, not something you would use for code development.
- tomrod 4小时前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.
- AlanYx 2小时前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.).
- HarHarVeryFunny 2小时前I don't think so? Gemini CLI (RIP) was more of a direct competitor to Claude Code - a CLI based coding agent. Antigravity was more IDE-like, based around a VS Code fork (so more like Cursor). Antigravity CLI, per the name, seems to be positioning it as a replacement for Gemini CLI, so certainly(?) a Claude Code CLI-based coding agent, but now one with multi-agent support and some sort of server-side harness as well apparently, doing who knows what.
Any CLI-based coding agent can equally well be described as "a shell with superpowers", and people were using Claude Code for non-coding tasks (e.g. sysadmin) before OpenClaw appeared and made that it's main purpose.
- crakhamster01 7小时前> 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.
I the other reasons you mentioned could be solved while keeping the Gemini name, but this is a fair point. I didn't realize they offered 3rd party models!
> When you say Antigravity, you think of a platform whereas when you say Gemini you think of the model
Yea I guess if their goal long-term is to be something more akin to Cursor that makes sense, but Anthropic seems to be doing just fine using "Claude" in their naming scheme.
- jawilson2 2小时前"When you say Antigravity, you think of a platform..."
No, I don't.
I've never heard of Antigravity, but have (rarely) used Gemini, so there's that.
- blitzar 2小时前When you say Antigravity, I think of floating around on a space ship.
- benfortuna 1小时前I think that's a lack of gravity. According to wikipedia antigravity is in fact impossible (under known laws of physics).
- HarHarVeryFunny 30分钟前It's not lack of gravity - it's just that you and the space ship are both falling towards earth under the same gravitational acceleration, so your acceleration relative to the spaceship is zero. You don't need to be in space to experience this - in a "vomit comet" airplane used for training astronauts (and for photographing Kate Upton) you experience the same thing as the plane goes into freefall.
You would of course also experience the same thing if you were out in space far from any major gravitational attraction (almost "lack of gravity"), but obviously that's not the case with things like the ISS that we're used to seeing.

In a way, it is exciting to me that people exist that think like this. It is so different than how I think, we could be from different planets.
- seviu 9小时前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 regarding AI but it saddens me to see this happening. Google should be up there leading but they are lagging against everybody.
How can I justify dropping 100$ per month, for a coding agent that is half a year behind, knowing that Codex or Kimi is going to do much better?
Stock might be ripping but that’s about it.

- kreelman 8小时前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!
- Glohrischi 7小时前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.
- blitzar 8小时前I disagree; gemini is their ai model brand, antigravity is their code harness.
Its much better branding than calling every single product "Co-Pilot (tm)".

- Rebuff5007 34分钟前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 now the perfect time to consolidate?
- bmitc 2小时前I have never understood basically any decision Google makes at any level. I think they're equivalent to a land owner sitting on top of oil. They have no idea what to do, and anything they do makes pennies compared to the oil, so it doesn't really matter what they do on top of that, customers be damned.
As if I needed another reason to hate them, they turned our Nest back to shitty thermostats last year by dropping older models from their Google Home service. There's no justification for it other than some product owner wanted to.

How their target audience feels isn’t separate from “analysis” - it’s the input.
- cmrdporcupine 4小时前As someone who worked there for a decade, I would wager instead that all that analysis at the top makes no difference when you're unable to execute because your internal politics are broken.

- WhitneyLand 2小时前Wow, this is rough. Gemini Cli was already losing and it’s now being replaced by something they’re saying doesn’t yet have feature parity. Doesn’t seem likely to inspire defections from competitors.
One could argue coding is only a use case and that their models are still killing it overall. However agents are strategic across the board and coding agents are at the forefront. They’ve already lead to new products like CoWork and it’s easy to understand why Google should be doing everything possible to catch up.
Surprised they’re not trying to entice developers away with more heavily subsidized subscription plans. Maybe it’s because as some say those days are ending and soon we’ll all be paying per token. Or maybe it would just put too much of a strain on available compute.

Of course, something could’ve been improved, but that’s just how they operate.
I could be completely wrong though
- srameshc 14小时前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 need to make their own decisions. Seems like someone just came in and decided that all the Gemini CLI and Antigravity needs to be one , because some other manager thought Antigravity was a better name than Gemini or whatever and started this mess in the first place. I am loosing my faith in these managers and Google.
- asdfsa32 12小时前> Whoever is in charge of these decisions, is absolutely disconnected with the reality.
The problem is with your perception of reality. Google doesn't operate for the outside, you're on the outside, Google operates for Google and people in Google care about themselves first, then Google, and then -- if t all, outside.

a) A vast majority of Google FTE are actually shareholders via equity grants, so there's that. Not a coop, but a taste of it. b) The way you make more money at Google is by getting promoted. And unfortunately, the way you get promoted at Google is by looking like you are actively innovating, but without any measured correlation to the actual impact on the bottom line of the company. The result is typically the kind of shite everyone is complaining about in this thread.

OpenAI came up with GPT 4o, o4, 4.5, 4.1 (which came out later than 4.5 and had a completely different purpose), Microsoft just calls everything a copilot (Github Copilot, Azure Copilot, Microsoft Copilot - all from the same company, completely different things), and Google apparently just picks random words from the comments.

We’ll continue to support Gemini CLI and Gemini Code Assist with access to the latest Gemini models and other updates.
Oh, at least they didn't drop off Enterprise users. I think the general transition is towards building specialized products on top of agents. A lot of people are using claude code, codex, and other subsidized coding agents for non coding purposes as well.
- mccoyb 14小时前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 (slash commands), and conversation rewind.
- Telemetry redaction in several places (good?)
- go-git bundled in there.
- go-enry / linguist's entire language table: many file extension/syntax tags (Cairo, Stacks Clarity, Modelica, KiCad, etc.) bundled in there.
All in all, a 140 MB Go binary with its own browser control stack, sandbox, Git, language detector, skills runtime, and subagent system.

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.
- jauntywundrkind 11小时前Adapting "if a product is free, you are the product":
If the agent won't tell you what it's programming is, it's not your agent.
Two fast reflections:
1. I personally really doubt you can stay competitive selling such low-agency products to agentic developers, who are used to having access to/ability to see & reform their agentic worlds.
2. Also impressed by the hubris of giving everyone a single month to make the transition! I'd love the Google Graveyard to keep track of how long between announcement and shut down products got; I expect Gemini CLI getting axed for Antigravity CLI with one month transition is close to a record.

- RyJones 6小时前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.

- owebmaster 4小时前Weird, I saw nobody "throwing shade", all complaining is very direct and simple: gemini-cli sucks but Google sucks even more but discontinuing it to relaunch it with another name a tool that still sucks.
- No1 10小时前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 burning through about 80% of my 5-hour window of credits, I finally just went sandboxless to get the thing running. It hit the limit pretty quickly. I waited until the 5 hour limit was up, and found the 5 hour window had morphed into a one week window, still drained of credits.
I thought at least I can keep on using Gemini CLI until Google figures out this Antigravity thing. Oh well.
- OriginalPenguin 9小时前My experience with any built in sandboxing for these command line tools has been awful.

Then I use Angtigravity but instead of Gemini I installed Claude code extention which was working great till Today with the new update, Antigravity removed all the vscode extentions. Not sure even how git will work here. This antigravity update isn't an update but a completely new product. All the investments we have made in order set it down with our dev process, integration is gone, wasted. This is a very bad move but actually its the permanent state of Google, launch a product and a bunch of similar kind of products and then pull the rug.

- sheepscreek 14小时前This is the right move but I don’t know if I am ready to try them again. I am still bitter from the significantly reduced quotas, even on Ultra, their highest tier. Claude became unusable for me.

- Ozzie-D 6小时前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.

- MisterPea 11小时前This is a double edged sword for me, I've dabbled with the Antigravity CLI and it is better but I got a lot of LLM use out of google's chaotic decentralized quotas.
gemini-cli had it's own quota, antigravity had it's own quota, and ai studio had it's own free tier quota and I managed to make use of all of them super cheaply.
Now they're finally unifying everything and cutting down, which is less of a cognitive load to keep track of quotas but also fewer benefits

- hintymad 8小时前It’s a good decision. If an IDE can do everything that a CLI does and it surely can, then I fail to see the point of a CLI. It’s not like an IDE can’t emulate everything a CLI does but better, faster, and more interactive. It’s not like one does not need to read code either. Besides, what about session management? What about configuring agents, especially for multi-agent orchestration? The list can go on. The point is, IDE or GUI in general gives us optionality. Then, what’s wrong with that?

- dizhn 3小时前Iflow and Qwen cli are gone too. They probably think the clis don't make much sense without pairing them with free use and free use has become very expensive.
- jsLavaGoat 22小时前Yeah, so they are worried about things like CAS that let you use lots of CLI agents from different companies. The fork I'm using lets me use Claude and Codex, and Gemini if I want, but I haven't much lately. Anyway, that sounds like what's happening. Is that wrong?
- 2001zhaozhao 15小时前I think we will need to move to workarounds based on MCP going forwards.
> run CLI agent with an initial prompt
> tell the agent it isn't allowed to directly reply to the user and must use your tool instead. also all of the CLI's original interactive tools are blocked and it has to use your alternatives
> when the agent uses tools in the MCP, it redirects to your GUI's prompt editor
- dr_dshiv 10小时前Anyone ever understand how the Gemini cli could be so bad even though Gemini 3 was so good?
- artdigital 11小时前As much as I like Gemini CLI and don’t like them shutting it down, I think it’s good some of the offerings are getting unified. There was too much fragmentation in the google offering and this is making it a tiny bit better.
- No1 8小时前They used to have Antigravity and Gemini CLI.
Now they have Antigravity IDE, Antigravity 2, and Antigravity CLI.
- code51 6小时前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.
- stoicfungi 8小时前They products are pretty messy too. Veo, Gemini Omni Flash, Spark, Flow, Duo .... A lot of confusing and competing product lines.
- exploderate 6小时前> Gemini CLI is an open-source AI agent
This is not good for open-source. Claude is not open-source, copilot-cli is not and antigravity-cli isn't either.
Apparently the major players decide to keep the secret agent source, well, secret.
- vegnus 22小时前And Antigravity CLI starts working from today, interesting
- grim_io 17小时前Welcome to the Google graveyard, Gemini CLI.
Not that it will be missed much. Using it was the worst experience out of any harness.
- anshumankmr 12小时前Do people use antigravity? In my team, there is one guy but everyone else is on Claude code/GHCP
- spacemonkey92 7小时前Unrelated, but does anyone know of a successful tech product name with five or more syllables? Antigravity CLI is a mouthful.
- egeozcan 7小时前AFAICT it's practically a name-change. Why can't they alias, does it for some reason have an API difference?
- nh43215rgb 14小时前agy cli is a disaster and half baked product. It wont even resize itself when i maximize terminal.
- taf2 5小时前That sucks I guess I won’t be using any Google llms anymore
- anderber 13小时前So now there's 3 different Antigravity products: CLI, Antigravity 2, and Antigravity IDE. And Gemini CLI goes to the Google graveyard of products. Wow.
- danpalmer 15小时前FWIW, centralising on a single harness in Antigravity seems like a great idea.
- wg0 9小时前They killed a gaming cloud this is just a CLI.
That is one reason I avoid Flutter at all costs despite other reasons.
- throwaway2027 11小时前Sad. I liked Gemini CLI. I used it a lot and occasionally use it these days. I've never tried Antigravity though.
- evnix 8小时前Would be very difficult keeping it going knowing you will be laid off.
- ksajadi 10小时前sometimes I feel we need to hire someone just to catch up with google breaking changes.
- TheFragenTaken 9小时前Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 305+1 [1] times, shame on me.
- jonnyasmar 11小时前Gemini CLI is so incomprehensibly bad. I can only hope dedicated focus on agy will be the difference maker. It'd be nice to actually be able to integrate Gemini models into my workflows because they offer genuinely unique approaches to problems that complement Claude/Codex really well.
- fsniper 11小时前I have been a happy user of Gemini CLI.
What makes it "incomprehensibly bad." in your opinion?
- victorbjorklund 3小时前Not really using this product, but every time things like this happens, my trust in Google just goes further down even if I thought it wasn't possible. I don't get how companies even dare to rely on anything made by Google.
- homeonthemtn 2小时前I am glad I learned my lesson and stopped relying on Google.
- re-thc 21小时前This is so confusing. So what happens to Gemini Code Assist plans?
What do the Antigravity quotas mean per plan?
- 0gs 14小时前Gemini Code Assist goes away i believe
- anon84873628 11小时前If you're not using an Enterprise license.
- jckahn 13小时前This is awful. I got so much use out of it!
- nickv 11小时前People use the Gemini CLI? What poor souls...
- upcoming-sesame 8小时前I use it for disposable tasks as it's included in my Pro plan and why not
- beanjuiceII 2小时前everytime google creates a project i pessimistically say i wont use it because it will be dead soon...i always get some downvotes by fanatics...and in the end its always true
- gigatexal 8小时前Classic google. Torch name recognition and goodwill associated with it for something new. http://antigravity.google/blog/introducing-google-antigravit...
- mpalmer 17小时前Say goodbye to metered usage via API keys you control, and hello to opaque pricing and usage limits.
- reserve 11小时前Gemini CLI is too slow to use.
Anyway, one more @ Google Graveyard: https://killedbygoogle.com/
- antonvs 11小时前I haven't noticed the CLI itself being slow, but the Gemini model responses can be slow.
- photonsphere 9小时前just ... use ... opencode ...

- antibios 13小时前Crap! I was using this to manage my hledger files and it did a decent job.
- jiggawatts 6小时前Well, I tried to give Antigravity a go.
First prompt thought for about 30 seconds, and after the fifth or sixth tool call:
"Our servers are experiencing high traffic right now, please try again in a minute."
Sigh...
- kuschkufan 7小时前here we go again: https://steve-yegge.medium.com/dear-google-cloud-your-deprec...
which is mainly this part on googles thinking:
> Drop whatever you are doing because it’s not important. What is important is OUR time. It’s costing us time and money to support our shit, and we’re tired of it, so we’re not going to support it anymore. So drop your fucking plans and go start digging through our shitty documentation, begging for scraps on forums, and oh by the way, our new shit is COMPLETELY different from the old shit, because well, we fucked that design up pretty bad, heh, but hey, that’s YOUR problem, not our problem.
- 0xbadcafebee 13小时前Good riddance. Gemini CLI was hot garbage.
