They could just call it anything else and left the existing user alone. I mean they have gemini CLI, which I would say a better product.

Gemini CLI is being sunsetted in mid-June and replaced by Antigravity.

  • I've mostly avoided the frustration of dealing with google's product rug pulls over the years by never getting hooked on a non-gmail product.

    Alas, I now feel the sting of disappointment.

> I mean they have gemini CLI

Uhhh, about that :)

Gemini CLI (the open source cli) is being deprecated, and the recommended replacement is Antigravity CLI (which supposedly comes with the new Antigravity, not the IDE). shrug. Surely this will be maintained long term...

  • Oh, but you can only install the new antigravity CLI by first installing and authenticating via the IDE.

    Will they make it work headless before the June deadline when they turn off gemini-cli? I guess we'll see...

    [Edited to add: danielbln below is correct, this appears to just be stale documentation for antigravity-cli, it can be used completely headless now.]

    • There's a link on the downloads page to a standalone version of the CLI

    • Just today I installed the CLI version of antigravity (agy) and have been using it as a headless subagent from within Claude, so uh this works today?

I think that's what everyone is going to think.

Hot take: At least they're ripping the bandaid now instead of stringing users along and eventually abandoning it like they normally do.
