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

    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.

    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.

      Same. The reason I gave up was their limit inconsistency. I signed up for their cheapest sub and got what I felt was fair. I subbed for ultra and hammered the opus as much as I could - first week I couldnt hit the 5h limit at all, used 80% of weekly limit. Second week I couldnt hit the 5h limit at all, used up my weekly limit 1 day before reset. Third week I was hitting 5h limits by hour 3, weekly limit in 4 days. Last week Ive hit my 5h limit in under 40 min, and stopped using it completely.

      My usage was very consistent thorough the month. I wasnt launching subagents, I wasnt working with more full caches, they just tightened my limits during the month I paid like 180$ for, which was discounted 50% for first 3 months, so they wanted over 300$ to keep the sub I hit 5h limits before my cofee gets cold. Absolutely insane

      Not just their coding products. Compare Claude Desktop / ChatGPT Classic to Gemini Desktop... Gemini desktop is barbaric with less usability / polish than the online web counterpart.

      I wasn't able to give the new ChatGPT desktop app a try because it insists on a (non) VOIP phone number for the registration flow even though I'm using a free tier.

    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.

    > 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.

      And yet I just installed Antigravity, and it had a default checked box to also install Antigravity IDE. So someone still cares enough to try and juice the install numbers

        or alternatively nobody remembered to remove the checkbox

      After everything the tried no-one ever expected Google to launch and immediately ignore a product.

      For real though, I think their reputation with developers is in the gutter after years of trial balloons.

    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?

    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.

    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?

    Where is the updated gemini pro model?
  • soltanov 32 minutes ago
    is google fixed usage quota in antigravity? or still is this a problem of antigravity?
  • Mond_ 33 minutes ago
    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

    Excellent, so Gemini 3.7 can trash your codebase even faster (but seriously: don't trust this model)
    • seanmcdirmid 18 minutes ago
      Are 3.5, 3.6 any better? It is pretty flaky, Deepseek v4 flash is more reliable than 3.7 flash at least.
