Antigravity CLI
Replaced Gemini CLI; multi-model, parallel execution.
Verified: Sep 13last change: Sep 23next price check: Dec 12

Facts with sources
- On June 18, Gemini CLI was shut down and Antigravity CLI replaced it. Source (in Russian)
- After a region check was added, it stopped working from Russia even with a VPN. Source (in Russian)
- The model inside can change without notice: in the screenshot, Gemini 3.5 Flash is already unavailable. Source (in Russian)
Strengths
- One terminal agent with Gemini Flash and Pro, Claude Opus and Sonnet and GPT-OSS inside; /model switches, with low/medium/high effort.
- A free tier with limits: Roaming Rebel's fresh account showed 100% quota without buying credits, tracked with /usage.
- Parallel subagents: one writes backend tests while another scaffolds a frontend component, monitored from the terminal via /agents.
- Project rules in GEMINI.md, MCP servers, hooks and skills; extensions for VS Code, JetBrains, Visual Studio, Zed and Xcode.
Weaknesses
- Quota is split into two pools (Gemini vs Claude/GPT-OSS) with weekly and 5-hour caps; a multi-file agent task drains it faster.
- Google says availability and limits depend on the account and may change; its predecessor Gemini CLI was shut down on 2026-06-18.
- The Claude models on offer are, per Gary Judge, only slightly older versions, not the latest.
- Setup requires a Google sign-in and pasting an API key into the terminal; there is no way in without a Google account.
Example from practice
Windows install and a first task
Roaming Rebel installed Antigravity CLI from PowerShell, signed in with a Google account, pasted the issued key, picked a model with medium effort and asked for a Python file computing a factorial. The agent produced the file and asked permission before writing it to the folder. The /usage screen showed two model groups with shared weekly and 5-hour allowances and 100% remaining. This was an install walkthrough, not a test of code quality.

- Google's FREE AI Coding Agent Has Gemini, Claude & GPT-OSS! · Roaming Rebel, Sep 6The reviewer thinks it is worth trying for terminal-first developers: several model families without buying credits, though limits may change.
- Claude Code vs Antigravity CLI · Gary Judge, Aug 13The reviewer keeps both: he would pick Claude Code to build his own tools and falls back to Antigravity once his Claude 5-hour quota runs out in about an hour.
