alt Hacker NewsGoogle Antigravity introduces Boost deep reasoning (/boost)
Comments
All these /boost, ultracode and other magic incancations seem to be just "throw more money/tokens at the problem and maybe it helps".
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.
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 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.
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?
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.
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.
Where is the updated gemini pro 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.
is google fixed usage quota in antigravity? or still is this a problem of antigravity?
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)
Astroturfed post.
ultracode... 3 months later?
Let's Go Let's Go Let's Go Let's Go Let's Go Let's Go Let's Go Let's Go Let's Go Let's Go Let's Go Let's Go Let's Go Let's Go Let's Go Let's Go Let's Go Let's Go Let's Go Let's Go!!!!!
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.
