Hey Antigravity Team, I’m on an active 18-month **Google AI Pro** promotional/trial subscription (with the 5-hour Pro quota reset), and after reading the official moderator responses on this forum about how promotional/trial plans are handled, I honestly don’t understand the logic here. If you classify our 12-to-18-month student, device, and partner plans as a **“trial”** , then **how am I supposed to actually TRY the Pro models?** I opted into Google AI Pro specifically as a coder thinking it would be worth building my daily workflow around. Instead, the current policies have completely gutted the tier—and as a developer, I am beyond disappointed: ### 1. You blocked the exact Pro models a “Trial” is meant to showcase In your official forum replies, you state that **Gemini 4 Argon** , **Claude Sonnet 5.5 (Thinking)**, and **Claude Opus 5.5 (Thinking)** are locked to “non-trial subscriptions only.” - I could almost understand gating third-party Anthropic 5.5 models due to external API costs. - Wait—why are you blocking **Gemini 4 Argon** , a **first-party Google model** running on Google’s own TPUs, from your own Google AI Pro trial/promotional users? Especially when our exact same accounts _do_ get access to Gemini 4 Argon on the Gemini web app (`gemini.google.com`)? ### 2. Your “What Your Plan Includes” response contradicts itself (The Nov 2 Cliff) When moderators reply to promotional/trial Pro users here, Point #2 of the script literally says: > _“Your Google AI Pro plan continues to give you full access to Gemini 3.8 Flash… along with Claude Sonnet 4.6 (thinking), Claude Opus 4.6 (thinking), and GPT-OSS-120b (which are scheduled to be removed on November 2, 2026).”_ Look at that sentence again. You are telling us our Pro plan still has value because it includes Claude 4.6 and GPT-OSS-120b, while admitting in parentheses that **all three of those models are being deleted in less than two weeks (November 2, 2026)**. - **Gemini 3.1 Pro** was already retired and removed. - Once November 2 hits, 18-month Google AI Pro users will have **ZERO frontier reasoning or coding models left in Antigravity**. ### 3. Gemini 3.8 Flash is taking way longer (and isn’t a replacement for a Pro coding model) Even worse, the _only_ model we are going to be left with after November 2— **Gemini 3.8 Flash** —has become painfully slow on promotional/trial plans. Simple prompts hang for 30–70+ seconds, agent tool calls stall or get stuck in retry loops, and latency is noticeably degraded compared to directly-billed accounts. Having a “5-hour refreshing Google AI Pro baseline quota” means nothing when the only model we’re allowed to spend it on is a throttled Flash model that is available on the $0 Free tier. ### 4. If I can’t test Pro models now, don’t count on me to buy Google AI Pro after The entire business point of giving developers a 12-to-18-month trial, student, or hardware promo is so we can **TRY** the full Pro experience, integrate it into our coding stack, and gladly pay $20/month when the promo ends. - If you strip out every single Pro-level coding model, leave us with a slow Flash-only IDE for the rest of our subscription, and force us to forfeit our remaining promotional months if we try to switch to a directly-billed plan—why would any coder ever pay to renew afterward? ### What we are asking the Antigravity team to do before November 2: 1. **Let “AI Pro” users actually TRY Gemini 4 Argon:** Unlock `gemini-4-argon` in Antigravity (2.0, CLI, and extensions) for **all** active Google AI Pro subscribers, including 12/18-month promotional, student, and partner plans—even if it comes with a smaller capped weekly allowance or draws down our 5-hour Pro quota at a higher weight. 2. **Do not remove Claude Opus 4.6 & Sonnet 4.6 on November 2 for promotional Pro users** if you refuse to unlock Claude 5.5 or Argon. Leaving paying/verified “AI Pro” accounts with zero frontier coding models is unacceptable. 3. **Fix the severe latency and routing degradation on Gemini 3.8 Flash** so our baseline coding sessions don’t stall out on basic requests. ---
