Antigravity seems to be soft-deprecated

Google Antigravity
1

The total lack of updates the last few weeks, and the growing rage and frustration on this forum that goes seemingly unanswered, the lack of access to Opus 4.7, etc suggests to me that Antigravity will soon be deprecated in favor of whatever Google plans next.

I’d say stop expecting things to get fixed and start looking to a Google IO announcement for a successor. Personally, since I am still on the 50% price for Ultra, I will hold out a few weeks to see what that might be, but if nothing materializes then I will most likely move on; not sure where yet.

Consider this a public service announcement for those wondering what is going on.

Agree, they have completly abandoned Antigravity, it’s obvious..

I received this today

Dear administrator,

We are simplifying our Google Workspace AI add-ons to focus AI tool access on our core services. As part of this shift, we are removing the Workspace AI Ultra Access add-on as an offering. Starting July 7, 2026, you will no longer have access to this add-on and your existing AI Ultra Access add-on licenses will be automatically transitioned to the AI Expanded Access add-on. We’re providing you this update as our records indicate that one or more users in your organization are currently assigned a Workspace AI Ultra Access license.

What this means for your organization

To allow time for your organization to adapt, your AI Ultra add-on subscription will remain active until the following dates, depending on your plan type:

  • Flexible plans: These changes take effect starting July 7, 2026

  • Annual/Fixed-term plans: These changes take effect on your next subscription renewal on or after July 7, 2026

Once these changes take effect, your organization will no longer have access to AI Ultra Access add-on, including the following Additional Products*:

  • Developer Tools: Google Antigravity, Gemini CLI, and Gemini Code Assist plug-ins

  • Video Editing Tools: Flow

Continued services:

  • Your organization will continue to have access to the Gemini app, NotebookLM, and Gemini in Workspace features through your Google Workspace Business or Enterprise edition. Lower usage limits for certain features will apply depending on the feature and your Workspace Business or Enterprise edition.

  • Your organization can continue to use the Gemini app and Google Vids for video generation.

*Please note, these Additional Products will continue to be available in Google One AI Plans.

What you need to do

If you take no action prior to July 7, 2026, Google will automatically transition your users with the AI Ultra Access add-on license to the AI Expanded Access add-on. This lower cost AI add-on is offered at $24 per user per month with a Flexible billing plan, compared to the AI Ultra add-on which costs $250 per user per month with a flexible plan. The AI Expanded Access add-on provides higher access to advanced AI features in the Gemini app, NotebookLM, and Google Workspace apps than is available in Business and Enterprise plans.

  • Transition date: For flexible plans, these changes will take effect starting July 7, 2026. For annual and fixed-term plans, these changes will take effect on your next subscription renewal on or after July 7, 2026. If you have an offline Google Workspace agreement, your AI Ultra Access subscription will not automatically renew or be moved to an AI Expanded Access subscription on your renewal date. Learn more about your current plan.

  • Subscription billing: If you are on a flexible plan, your next bill after July 7, 2026 will be prorated to account for the difference in price. If you are on an annual or fixed-term plan, your bill at renewal will be based on the AI Expanded Access add-on subscription price.

Looking ahead, we are exploring ways to support even higher AI usage limits with AI Expanded Access add-on overages, giving admins more flexibility in how they empower their most progressive AI users.

If you do not want your users to automatically transition to the AI Expanded Access add-on starting from the dates listed above, you can:

  • Transition users earlier: You can initiate the transition of users to the AI Expanded Access add-on before July 7, 2026.

  • Cancel your AI Ultra Access add-on: When you cancel, you will immediately lose access to the services and higher usage of AI capabilities as outlined above and your final bill will be prorated to the date of cancellation. You will continue to have access to features in the Gemini app, NotebookLM, and Gemini in Workspace based on your Workspace Business or Enterprise edition, with lower usage limits depending on the feature.

Alternative for developer tools: For ongoing access to Gemini CLI and Gemini Code Assist plug-ins, you may also consider Gemini Enterprise Standard and Plus editions.

We’re here to help

Yes I got this email as well. What are our options? I love using anti gravity. Very disappointed.

5

I think everybody on AI Ultra will have received this email. As Stratis_Cloud says, it’s very disappointing. Antigravity is a good tool. Yes, it has its quirks, but I struggle to understand why Google is withdrawing it.
I have also struggled to understand the mail itself. I have read it several times, but you have to work out for yourself the implications. It doesn’t explicitly say that Antigravity is over. It gives alternative routes to access Gemini Code Assist, without giving an access option for AntiG. We therefore have to conclude for ourselves that Antigravity is being withdrawn.

I’d welcome others’ views on equivalent (or better) coding tools. I have come to rely upon Antigravity and have not shopped around, as there’s an overhead in learning multiple tools.

6

Extremely disappointing, now we have to use our personal gmail accounts for AI Ultra, instead of the integrated workspace account.. Knowing Google, they’ll probably offer something else of value soon, let’s keep fingers crossed.. or perhaps we all complain and see if we can at least get antigravity as part of the AI Expanded, but with high limits?

7

Am I reading that post that they are deprecating Antigravity? Will they no longer provide any coding models or will users be able to integrate Gemini models to VS Code through some addon there instead?

8

What they are deprecating is the workspace add-on, yes, but the rest is probably just about reorganizing, repackaging and repricing agentic development in connection with their new cloud platform.

Let’s not panic and kill the vibe in vibe coding too early: The upcoming Google I/O 2026 has a talk about building the future with Antigravity on the agenda.

I think I saw an article saying that Google invested tens of billions into Claude.
Does that mean Google’s strategy is to protect itself by keeping competitors tied to the Google platform and making profits from other areas, even if Gemini were to fail?

I just hope Google hasn’t given up on Gemini and Project Astra/Antigravity…

seems to be Google 1 or Google Enterprise for Workspace. Enterprise will be too expensive. Google 1 max plan more than I am paying now.

I have 6 weeks or so to think about it. My options look to be

Migrate to Google 1 account
Migrate to Claude direct

At this moment I lean more to Claude, as that is the model I seem to be using almost 100% anyway and today they announced a doubling of quotas with their SpaceXAI deal.

Hi all,

I agree Google seems like to not give much effort to improve antigravity, I am seeing anyways there are scheduled events talking mentioning Anitgravity explicitely.

Google I/O 2026: Build next-gen AI experiences with Google AI Studio and Google Antigravity

This gives me hope, seems there still is energy for Antigravity. As of now, I am overall happy with my pro subscription, can be improved a lot but it does the job.

What do you think about these events in next Goodle I/O?

12

I think there’s no way Google abandons their coding models. I’ve been following them for some time on this and they are all in on Google AI Studio, for example. I do agree with the original poster. I think they’ve abandoned Antigravity, hopefully for something better.

13

I have several projects in Google Antigravity that leverages AI Ultra subscription from my workspace account. How do i continue to use Antigravity with Ultra after July 7? Can anyone recommend a solution?

14

Sure, but I dont want to use an online tool for development. If anything I’d like them to provide a good plugin for VS Code that uses the Gemini models and the other ones available through their Pro subscription.

15

From my understanding, you’d have to get ULTRA on a personal Google One Account. All your info is still in Anti-Gravity, you would just sign into your personal account. I’m not happy about it either.

I really enjoyed using Antigravity for a few months despite the bugs and API errors with Claude, which seemed to have improved recently. The planning mode, artifacts, and browser were all great. There are some very nice people working on this product. But here’s the thing: abandoning Workspace users with AI Ultra without offering an alternative, other than AI Ultra for individuals, which is €70 more expensive (I was paying €185 for the AI Ultra option). If you add AI Expanded at €25, it comes to €275… Also, an individual account doesn’t offer the same level of privacy for discussions as a Workspace Enterprise account.

In short, I’m finally thanking Google, because this gives me the opportunity to switch to Claude Code and the VS Code extension. Honestly, with Antigravity, you have the convenience of the UI, but ultimately, you’re limited in your automation capabilities. Antigravity and their agentic OS, without knowing everything that’s in the black box, still seem to be behind what Claude Code, Claude SDK, etc. offer developers. Most Antigravity users use the Claude model and rarely Gemini Pro 3.1 — even though it’s not bad and is better for multimodality, just not as good… and still no version 4.7 after a month…

I’m still keeping my Workspace account, and I took the AI Extend option, which, it must be said, is quite cheap: €14 for three months, then €25. It’s still nice to be able to use Gemini in conversational mode, LM Notebook, Workspace integration, etc. It remains to be seen how it compares in terms of quotas to what AI Ultra offered, but I imagine it was more for developers to use Antigravity or Gemini CLI.

To get back to Claude Code, I went for the Pro 5x option at €100 per month, with the option to pay for extra usage in the rare event of exceeding the 4-hour limit. And honestly, I’m not disoriented at all, because it’s the model I’ve always used. The IDE remains the same, and the agent manager is still unnecessary since you can create multiple conversations in parallel. I have Vibe, an extension for modifying a plan in UX mode like in Antigravity — it does the job, though it’s not quite as good.

Anyway, I need stability, see ya Antigravity :waving_hand:
