Antigravity is also becoming available through eligible Gemini Enterprise plans, which give admins spending caps, IAM policy inheritance, VPC Service Controls, and restrictions on workspace access, browser access, and MCP server connections. A shared credit pool metered on a rolling seven-day basis means token-heavy agent workflows can burn through team budgets quickly, echoing similar token-cost problems already seen at Microsoft, Uber, and Amazon. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Which IDEs support Google's Antigravity AI coding agent extension? Antigravity extensions are available for Visual Studio Code (now, via Microsoft's marketplace on macOS, Linux, and Windows), Visual Studio 2026 with .NET solutions (in preview), JetBrains IDEs starting with version 2026.2.1 (including IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, CLion, and Rider), and Zed. The same account works across all of them without separate sign-in. _Teams weighing which IDEs to standardize on for AI-assisted coding can track rollouts like this on daily.dev._ ### How does Google Gemini Enterprise control Antigravity token spending and budgets? Admins on Gemini Enterprise Standard, Plus, or Standard Emerging Market plans can cap monthly spending per Google Cloud project, with usage metered from a shared credit pool that resets on a rolling seven-day basis rather than truly monthly. When quota runs out, Antigravity either shuts off or switches to pay-as-you-go pricing; per-user and per-team controls are planned later. _Engineering leads budgeting for agentic coding tools can follow token-cost management practices like these on daily.dev._ ### How many tokens does a typical AI coding agent task consume? A nontrivial engineering task handled by an AI coding agent can consume 150,000 to 200,000 tokens, and multi-agent handoffs add further input tokens each time work passes between agents. This scale of consumption means an agent-heavy workflow without a default per-developer allocation could exhaust a team's entire token pool within hours. _Developers estimating agentic workflow costs can keep up with real-world token usage figures on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Google to unify AI coding tools under Antigravity](https://daily.dev/posts/google-to-unify-ai-coding-tools-under-antigravity-yazrwvrco) · InfoWorld · 0 upvotes · 1 comments - [At Google I/O 2026, Antigravity gets a new job description](https://daily.dev/posts/at-google-i-o-2026-antigravity-gets-a-new-job-description-576oh3gxp) · The New Stack · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Google Antigravity](https://daily.dev/posts/google-antigravity-uxjeuoy6z) · Hacker News · 27 upvotes · 2 comments - [A first look at Google’s new Antigravity IDE](https://daily.dev/posts/a-first-look-at-google-s-new-antigravity-ide-jyogdn6b0) · InfoWorld · 1 upvotes · 1 comments --- Tags: [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#mcp](https://daily.dev/tags/mcp), [#vscode](https://daily.dev/tags/vscode) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/google-s-ai-coding-agent-just-escaped-its-own-ide-i3cojgbpr) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Google’s AI coding agent just escaped its own IDE","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/google-s-ai-coding-agent-just-escaped-its-own-ide-i3cojgbpr","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/google-s-ai-coding-agent-just-escaped-its-own-ide-i3cojgbpr"},"datePublished":"2026-08-20T20:19:48.239Z","dateModified":"2026-08-24T12:35:58.339Z","description":"Google is expanding its Antigravity AI coding agent beyond its standalone desktop app into extensions for Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio 2026, JetBrains...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/035a5cac0de4365d09cdec0c6364a8d7?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/035a5cac0de4365d09cdec0c6364a8d7?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"The New Stack","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"The New Stack","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/newstack","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/newstack"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/google-s-ai-coding-agent-just-escaped-its-own-ide-i3cojgbpr","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"ai-agents,mcp,vscode","timeRequired":"PT4M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The New Stack","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/newstack"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Google’s AI coding agent just escaped its own IDE"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/google-s-ai-coding-agent-just-escaped-its-own-ide-i3cojgbpr#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Which IDEs support Google's Antigravity AI coding agent extension?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Antigravity extensions are available for Visual Studio Code (now, via Microsoft's marketplace on macOS, Linux, and Windows), Visual Studio 2026 with .NET solutions (in preview), JetBrains IDEs starting with version 2026.2.1 (including IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, CLion, and Rider), and Zed.
