Google Antigravity
Google's agent platform for software work. Agents plan, write code, run terminal commands, and test in a browser. They run from the Antigravity 2.0 desktop app, the CLI, the original IDE, or extensions for VS Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains, Zed, and Xcode. It runs Gemini models and, on eligible plans, Anthropic's Claude models.
The 30-Second Take
Pick Google Antigravity through Gemini Enterprise seats, because those Cloud terms keep your code out of training.
Its agents plan, edit code, run commands and test in a browser, from a desktop app, a CLI or editor extensions. One Google contract then covers Gemini and Claude models.
- Best fit
- Google Cloud organizations that can put engineers on Gemini Enterprise Standard or Plus seats.
- Main constraint
- Google says Antigravity lacks SOC 2 and ISO 27001 coverage, so hold back where audits need them.
- First move
- Start on Gemini Enterprise seats with terminal auto-execution set to review and the sandbox on.
Why
Watch the rules: Google changed Antigravity's quota and plan terms four times in eleven months, so budget against today's and recheck each quarter. Google also says it lacks SOC 2 and ISO 27001 coverage, so hold back where audits need them.

Comparisons
How does Google Antigravity compare with the alternatives?
Google Antigravity vs Cursor
- AI Coding Agents
Where engineers work decides it, since both agents plan, edit code, run commands, and check UI in a browser. Cursor centers on its own editor, with cloud agents and models from several providers. Antigravity centers on a desktop agent manager and CLI, reaches other editors through extensions, and comes with Gemini Enterprise seats.
Google Antigravity vs Gemini CLI
- AI Coding Agents
Move each team to Antigravity CLI before its Code Assist contract ends. Gemini CLI now serves only existing Code Assist subscribers and paid API users, and Google no longer sells new Code Assist subscriptions. Antigravity CLI is the successor for terminal work, with the desktop app and editor extensions around it.
Google Antigravity vs Claude Code
- AI Coding Agents
Claude Code and Antigravity run agents from desktop apps, terminals, and editor extensions, so compare the models you need and where you buy them. Claude Code uses Anthropic's agent software and contract. Antigravity runs Gemini and, on eligible plans, Claude under a Google contract.
Operator Insights
What are engineering leaders learning from deploying Google Antigravity?
Rohan SoniAuthor of the Inspired Entertainment case studyGoogle
Integration team. Java Spring Boot adapters for betting-operator wallet APIs. Gemini CLI, succeeded by Antigravity CLI.

Observation
Inspired Entertainment shrank each payment-adapter build to a week with Gemini CLI, and now points developers to Antigravity CLI.
- Takeaway
- Start the agent on one repetitive, documented integration with written guidelines, and count developer days per unit of work, as this team did.
- What happened
- Each new betting operator, such as DraftKings or Entain, needed a custom Java Spring Boot adapter that took a five-person scrum team 6 to 8 weeks. Developers now give the CLI the operator's API documentation and the company's markdown guidelines, and it writes the adapter. Google's case study reports builds down to one week, manual work from 40 dev days to 5, and two people per integration, down from five. The team recommends Antigravity CLI for new work.

Signals
What is the current evidence saying about Google Antigravity?
What engineering teams and individual builders report publicly about Google Antigravity, across the original IDE, Antigravity 2.0, the CLI, and the IDE extensions. Every finding links to its sources. Each source states whether it still applies after Google's May 19, 2026 product and plan changes.

Current sentiment
Positive, mixed and negative sources
The score counts them as 32 positive, 18 mixed and 48 negative votes, one per author.
Public accounts lean negative. Most sources that discuss quotas raise a problem, and reliability draws concern from 24. Praise goes most often to multi-step execution, plan and walkthrough artifacts, and access to Claude models.

Where It Fits
Where does Google Antigravity belong in the stack?
Google Antigravity is Core across Build, supports Plan and Validate, and touches Ship and Operate.
- Business area
- Product & Engineering
- Function
- Software Development
- Operating stack
- Agentic Software Development
- Primary role
- Agent-First Development Platform
Plan
Work planning: Supports
Work planning, supports. Agents write an implementation plan and task list before they build, and /plan in the CLI produces a plan artifact to approve; planning stays in the team's tracker.
Build
Codebase context: Supports
Codebase context, supports. Agents read and search the workspace, a /codesearch command searches code, and rules, GEMINI.md, AGENTS.md, and skills add project context; a dedicated code-intelligence platform still owns cross-repository indexing.
Coding: Core
Coding, core. This is Antigravity's primary stack role: agents write and change code across a workspace, with Gemini 3.8 Flash by default and Claude models on eligible plans.
Agent runtime: Core
Agent runtime, core. Antigravity 2.0 is a standalone app for launching and monitoring several agents, subagents, and scheduled tasks. The CLI, the IDE, and the editor extensions give the same agent a terminal and an editor.
Tool execution: Core
Tool execution, core. Agents run terminal commands in an OS-level sandbox, call MCP servers and plugins, and drive Chrome, each governed by Deny, Ask, and Allow permission rules.
Validate
Debugging: Supports
Debugging, supports. Agents trace failures from terminal output, logs, and the browser, but Antigravity is not a production debugging or error-tracking tool.
Testing: Supports
Testing, supports. Agents run tests and use the browser to click through a web app, saving screenshots and recordings as artifacts; the team's test suites and CI stay the gate.
Code review: Supports
Code review, supports. Walkthrough artifacts summarize each change and reviewers can leave comments on any artifact for the agent to act on; pull request review stays with the team's review tool.
Application security: Touches
Application security, touches. Gemini Enterprise administrators can restrict browser URLs, MCP servers, and file access, but Antigravity does not scan code for vulnerabilities as an application-security platform.
Ship
Source control: Touches
Source control, touches. Antigravity 2.0 includes Git version control and worktrees for parallel agents, but repositories, branches, and merges live in the team's source-control system.
CI/CD: Touches
CI/CD, touches. Headless CLI runs with agy -p support scripts and CI jobs, but Antigravity is not a delivery platform.
Operate
Observability: Touches
Observability, touches. Agents can investigate an incident from logs and MCP-connected tools, and Gemini Enterprise can log prompts and responses, but Antigravity does not provide observability.

Models
Which models run in Google Antigravity?
The current releases GILD tracks that public sources record running in Google Antigravity. Each model's page charts its public benchmark scores.
- Gemini 3.1 Pro PreviewA preview Gemini Pro release for advanced reasoning and multimodal work.
- Gemini 3.8 FlashA Gemini Flash release for long-horizon software engineering, agents, and enterprise workflows.
- Gemini 4 ArgonGoogle's Gemini 4 Argon release for advanced reasoning and multimodal work. Google announced it on September 30, 2026 as a limited rollout to cyber defenders in its Fairwind Program; it has been generally available on the Gemini API and Agent Platform since October 13, 2026.
- gpt-oss-120bOpenAI's largest open-weight model, 117B parameters with 5.1B active, with a 131,072-token context window. Weights under the Apache 2.0 license; OpenAI lists no API price for it, so it runs on your own hardware or a host's.
