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

And these are the guys who invented transformers! How?

How? Can you explain how they screwed it up.

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

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

> /boost, ultracode and other magic incancations

ultracode is different to ultrathink (because of course it is...)

ultrathink was "throw more tokens" (it was a Claude feature that has gone away[1])

ultracode is "throw more tokens AND write code that creates and orchastrates subagents": https://code.claude.com/docs/en/workflows

[1] https://claudelog.com/faqs/what-is-ultrathink/ claims it has returned, but that might not be accurate

"Hope" suggests that it's not backed by data.

I found they work pretty well for security reviews or similar large scale, file-by-file transformations.

Got off Gemini before they ended the cli, was not working for me, and went to Codex and opencode/deepseek flash v4 0731 which was working ok.

But got the google ai pro free 1 yr student - been liking agy quite alot actually - pretty good weekly allotment. Like the default, Flash 3.7 high.

Even bought extra credits I've been hammering it all day long.

People talk all day about coding but where this thing amazes me is devops. It hooked itself to discord so i can command it, set up or troubleshoot ssh servers on my home network. Blew my mind a couple times.

I use it for all my non-professional work and I find it works well enough for me.

Mostly for things that I know are possible and have a vague idea of how I would do it, but it would take me longer. Some examples in no particular order:

* Made my wife's travel blog/site

* Chrome extension for Crunchyroll to allow multisubs + local translation for unsupported languages (so my wife and I can watch and she doesn't need to focus extra hard reading English)

* Same as above for Netflix

* Setup multi subs with mpv (some Lua plugin shenanigans)

* Setup proton for warcraft 3 + wc3 champions (unofficial ladder) on Linux

* Setup a bunch of xrandr aliases for my different monitor uses (I'm still on x11)

If you need a custom chrome/firefox extension or to create some bespoke Linux QoL stuff, it works great. This was all Gemini Flash 3.5-3.7 (been using it for a while). I suspect pretty much anything would succeed at these tasks, but I just stick with antigravity because it works for me(and I'm on some discounted plan).

It is used seriously inside Google (the internal equivalent version). Many people swear by it and many don't think it's as good as Claude/Codex.

Am also curious on this! Though if it’s great now I’d need a sustained period of consistency (let’s say six months) before I try it again - the rollercoaster of getting a new randomized feature and quality experience every week got old pretty quick. (And I felt bad for recommending it to a few people at the time based on a good week)

My experience recently is that antigravity CLI is much better than Gemini CLI now. Gemini would often get stuck in loops before. Fine for personal projects at least, especially for the price (got a year’s sub for $5 on G2A)

But I don’t think it’s as good as Claude Code or Codex yet.

I got my account blocked for using antigravity with pi, has that policy changed?

If you like the Antigravity 1.0 experience, Vscode+Antigravity Extension should be very close.

> Google Antigravity's Editor view offers tab autocompletion, natural language code commands, and a configurable, and context-aware configurable agent.

They’ve had this weird phrasing on this landing page for at least 6 months if not longer. It’s clearly a landing page that receives no love.

After everything they 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.

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

Not sure if it solves your problem, but there's a command line tool for Antigravity

Nitro Boost

The plates all need to keep spinning faster all the time.

What should you be looking out for as bad behavior from this model? I've daily-driven 3.5, 3.6, and now 3.7 for however long it's been out (alongside Opus, as I hit daily limits on both subs each day) and haven't noticed anything "untrustworthy".

Are 3.5, 3.6 any better? It is pretty flaky, Deepseek v4 flash is more reliable than 3.7 flash at least.
