Google has updated its terminal AI coding tools, replacing the free tier of Gemini CLI with the closed-source Antigravity CLI, which features a multi-agent architecture. This shift alters the competitive landscape for AI coding assistants, with Claude Code from Anthropic remaining a strong contender. Claude Code offers features like autonomous task iteration, local file system access, and the ability to execute shell commands with user approval, utilizing Claude models such as Sonnet 4 and Opus 4. Gemini CLI, now primarily available via a paid API key, was an open-source tool known for its generous free tier, while Antigravity CLI introduces advanced capabilities like background agents to handle complex tasks without blocking the user's terminal.
