Most users lose access June 18 – unless you\u2019ve got enterprise creds or paid API keys<\/p>\n
Pour one out for the Gemini Command Line Interface. Come June 18, the open source development agent will stop serving most users in favor of the new Antigravity CLI, and developers aren\u2019t happy that the replacement is far less open than the old tool.<\/p>\n
Google announced<\/a> the Antigravity CLI at Google I\/O this week, billing it as a way for the Chocolate Factory to unify its efforts in developing a command line interface for AI agents. One of the key arguments Google makes in a post about transitioning from Gemini CLI to Antigravity CLI is that the new one has improved support for multi-agent environments, but the company isn\u2019t giving most of its users much of a choice on whether to switch.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cOn June 18, 2026, Gemini CLI and Gemini Code Assist IDE extensions will stop serving requests for Google AI Pro and Ultra, as well as those using it free of charge using Gemini Code Assist for individuals,\u201d the Gemini CLI team wrote in their announcement<\/a> of the transition. The change also affects Gemini Code Assist for GitHub, which won\u2019t allow new installations beginning June 18, and will stop serving requests in the following weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n Enterprises appear to be getting a pass, however, with Google noting that those using Gemini CLI or its IDE extensions through a Gemini Code Assist Standard or Enterprise license won\u2019t see any changes in their access, nor will Gemini Code Assist for GitHub users accessing the tools through their enterprise Google Cloud accounts.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cGemini CLI will remain accessible via paid Gemini and Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform API keys,\u201d Google explained. For everyone else, sorry: It\u2019s Antigravity CLI or bust, but don\u2019t expect the same experience.<\/p>\n \u201cThere won’t be 1:1 feature parity right out of the gate\u201d between Gemini CLI and Antigravity CLI, Google added. Agent skills, hooks, subagents, and extensions are all being supported by Antigravity CLI at launch. But other stuff may take time to arrive, if it does at all.<\/p>\n Pray we don\u2019t alter the deal any further<\/p>\n Take a look at the Gemini CLI GitHub page<\/a>, and you’ll find all the code that made it possible – it is an open-source project, after all. Surf over to the Antigravity CLI GitHub page<\/a> and all you\u2019ll see is a change log, readme, and a GIF file demonstrating the tool\u2019s appearance.\u00a0<\/p>\n That\u2019s right: Antigravity CLI isn\u2019t open source – at least not from what Google has published so far – and it took developers no time at all to notice.<\/p>\n Gemini CLI Lead Product Manager Dmitry Lyalin took to GitHub to make an announcement<\/a> detailing some additional info about the forced CLI tool migration, and the comments are rife with people frustrated by the move. No small portion of the vitriol is targeted at apparent usage limits, with multiple people reporting they\u2019d hit their weekly quota with just a couple of requests.\u00a0<\/p>\n
