Google announced at I/O that starting June 18, AI Pro, Ultra, and free users will lose access to Gemini CLI (open-source) and must migrate to Antigravity CLI, a closed-source replacement. Antigravity lacks feature parity with Gemini CLI, is not open source, and is already drawing heavy criticism from developers who report hitting usage limits dramatically faster — sometimes within 6-7 prompts even on paid tiers. Enterprise users and those with API keys are unaffected. The move is seen as part of a broader industry trend of AI tools becoming more expensive and restrictive.
