Google Antigravity introduces Boost deep reasoning (/boost)

Where is the updated gemini pro model?

absolutely crazy to make this a "paid tier user" feature. the primary difference between the free and the paid versions should be the amount of inference quota you have access to

soltanov

is google fixed usage quota in antigravity? or still is this a problem of antigravity?

> Plan availability: The /boost command is available on paid plans across Google Antigravity 2.0 and the Antigravity CLI. They are ignoring antigravity IDE like it does not exist anymore. https://antigravity.google/product/antigravity-ide

Judging by this entire page being the direct output of an LLM with little editing done at all I assume the feature is probably half baked and probably just a bunch of skills or harness tweaks? In that case, why would anyone pay for this at all?

I gave up on Antigravity when Google changed its rules around paid plans AI quotas, leading to my AI Pro getting depleted in up to four rounds. Have they ever gotten around to fixing it or is Antigravity only feasible with their Ultra plan?

Excellent, so Gemini 3.7 can trash your codebase even faster (but seriously: don't trust this model)

What's with all this AI spam for AI companies?! Seriously!? Every single hour on HN it's OpenAI does this, Gemini does that. It's all nothing. Extra reasoning. Big whoop.

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.

Astroturfed post.

I canceled my Ultra subscription after realizing I had Sol constantly fixing anything I tried to do with Antigravity. The most frustrating experience and a waste of money. I’m sorry for Google and hope they manage to fix their disaster.

On the one hand this kind of harness work is pretty interesting, on the other the blog post is light on details and sounds like existing behavior of any high end model in Claude Code, Pi, or one of the litany of other projects that people seem to be cooking up on a daily basis.

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

I had the same poor initial experience that others reported, but has anyone been paying for it recently and using it as a serious tool? Their new models are a pretty good value and crazy fast; I wonder if the Gemini on Antigravity output is overall competitive or has some niche use case other than being a frontend for Agent Substrate and their other projects

I have some super specialized workflow I wish I can run with their model, but looks like they don't allow programmatic call (claude code and codex allows it) in their plan.

My experience with Antigravity is that it will tell me it's completed a task or implementation that it hasn't. Like, the work is half-mostly done but not.

Which Boost version does it support?

I really wish Google can revive Antigravity with some serious upgrades.

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 API credits from a search engine, but it can run multiple search rounds with a specified depth. Compared $20 ChatGPT and AGY plan: my weekly limit on sol/terra used to disappear in one intensive day (or two normal ones). Now they’ve added the 5-hour limit on top of that, which is even more annoying. With Google I barely notice the limits at all — the only one is Opus 4.6 (not sure why it has one), and I only use it for double-checking sometimes. The biggest problem is that the Pro model hasn’t been updated, and Flash just doesn’t produce solutions of the same quality as Sol. But it is matter of time...
