I can’t help but feel like there’s something here that will matter for future LLMs.
The bidirectionality could be a big deal: being able to refine a sentence with both left and right context feels closer to how editing/thinking actually works than committing to each token forever.
Maybe the current models aren’t good enough yet, but the direction feels important.
I have google ai pro plan and tried antigravity with 3.5 flash but it used up all my quota in two prompts. If that is not a bug then it is seriously unusable.
- The model is appox 3.3x cost.
- The model is realistically almost 5x cost due to token usage
- Google has TPUs to run this on (yet the cost)
- Google has a lot more security and backup cash compared to all other AI companies, likely even combined (yet the cost)
We can continue moving the goal posts, but it seems we're at a bit of a wall. Costs are increasing, intelligence is improving, but the cost is rising drastically.
You'd think Google of all companies in the mix would be able to sustain lower costs with how integrated they are with TPU, Deepmind and effectively unlimited budget.
It's an experience anyone who used Google BigQuery would be familiar with: start with an amazing engineering product, and keep continuously degrading the value users get out of a fixed dollar spend. It's like Google doesn't understand that lock-in doesn't work when customers can easily switch to Claude or GPT.
The way they're charging for failed generations is brutal.
Checked my 5 hour quota, it was 0%, got this for multiple attempts:
I'm getting more image requests than usual, so I can't create that for you right now. Please try again later.
or
Can you ask me again later? I'm being asked to create more images than usual, so I can't do that for you right now.
Went back and found they took 34% of my quota for the privilege of repeating that same error.
I think the "Usage Limits" screen is new so who knows how long they've been counting errors against our quota. I guess I should be grateful it's now visible.
API price for gemini-3.5-flash is 3x gemini-3-flash-preview so they might be throttling it 3x sooner. They should either drop API prices or not advertise AI Pro as supporting Antigravity.
The web version went from 100 Pro Prompts per day to...12 per 5 hours lol. I just did 3 back and forth not even technical planning for an infra project and I am ~25% thorough. Insane.
They didn't even link the setting in their email. They didn't even name it specifically, just vaguely gestured toward it. Dark patterns, but that's Microslop for ya
They do not make it very simple to opt out. That is false.
On Android for instance I invite you to use the GitHub app and modify your opt-in or opt outside settings... You will find that nothing works on the settings page once you actually find the settings page after digging through a couple of layers and scrolling about 2 ft.
Is this unavoidable? I mean it does generate clicks and views and user engagement so if one platform is doing it, doesn't that automatically mean that the other has to do it? Otherwise they will continuously lose market share.

Why? User engagement isn't the same thing as market share.
If McDonald's trained its cashiers to insult you while taking your order, engagement would go up, and market share would go down.
I think the burden to curate your feed so that you do not have such content is now resting with the user and they cannot rely on the platform to do it for them.
If the user even wants to do that. Why would they? They're looking for a sugar rush, they're not looking to eat their intellectual vegetables. How do you get children to eat vegetables?
I agree. It is either ads, or Anthropic way (which is: you are too poor to use our ChatBot). There is no other way to pay the > $1 trillion per year CapEx for building these chat bots.
Would there be other way? Sure, it could be government-funded, like our public school system. But it is not possible in current political climate.
Money doesn't grow on trees, and tokens cost a lot of money. There will be divide into people who can afford these tokens and people who cannot. I feel it is better to have ways to let people who cannot afford these tokens to have some ways to try it.
That’s not really a negative for me as I can easily jump into vscode where I already have my workspace for coding set up exactly as I like it. This being a completely separate app just to get the agentic work right is a good direction imo
Yeah but its annoying to find the file the agent just edited without any IDE/editor integration, you have to add that command which opens the file in vscode after editing.
Looking just at the facts, the action to take over Venezuela seems to be a good decision.
1. Public opinion isn't as important anymore, as Trumpism has found a way to flood the zone with so much shit, they have many more options
2. International environment looks way harsher and less cooperative, stressing the need to gain resources/influence
3. Resource rich, unstable country that has been in the headline and run down for years, right on the doorstep of the US
If they really gain access to all that oil the challenges US hegemony is bolstered up again. Seems low risk high reward. If they give it the facade of legitimacy by installing a local puppet government, they might get away with it.
As expected: "Trump now turns now to oil. He claims the oil business in Venezuela has been a 'bust', and that large US companies are going to go into the country to fix the infrastructure and "start making money for the country"."
