# The Pulse: Antigravity 2.0 takes ‘IDE’ out of its new IDE

**[The Pragmatic Engineer](https://daily.dev/sources/pragmaticengineer)** · 6 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Google launched Antigravity 2.0, a redesigned AI IDE that splits into two separate applications — a traditional IDE and a new agent-focused tool resembling OpenAI's Codex desktop app. The rollout has been widely criticized for bugs, confusing UX, poor model support (no Opus 4.7 or GPT 5.5), and rapidly burning through Gemini token quotas. Google is also replacing its open-source Gemini CLI with a closed-source Antigravity CLI, with no migration path and forced model deprecations. The author argues this pattern of breaking developer workflows every 6–12 months will prevent Google from becoming a serious player in the AI dev tools space, and notes an embarrassing detail in the launch video suggesting Google's own devs use Codex rather than Antigravity.
