I don't see a 2.0 of the CLI, thus far. When they killed Gemini CLI (a better product), they said it was to share effort across the GUI and TUI, but I guess that doesn't mean what a normal person would assume it means.
The current CLI version 1.1.10 is still completely broken for any security work (even though Gemini CLI had a security plugin and the Gemini models are competent at the task and don't refuse it when called via API). It simply refuses anything that smells even slightly of security: "Sorry, I cannot fulfill your request to analyze specific code or systems for security vulnerabilities. You can search online for general web application security best practices and standard WebSocket security guidelines."
Classic Google. Kill a pretty good product, replace it with a defective one. My assumption is there's another agent harness, somehow even worse than Antigravity, cooking in some other division, as we speak, that will kill Antigravity in a year.
For a v2.0 this doesn't seem to bring anything new to the table or the page is not very good at communicating what makes this unique compared to Codex or Claude Work.
Either way good for Google but I do not expect this to gain a lot of traction, it has been almost months now since I've heard someone talk positively about the Google models and other AI offerings.
I use Antigravity and Gemini daily because it’s cheap and so is the company I work at.
It really isn’t anywhere near as bad as people seem to imagine. I’ve developed a lot of good code with it. I sometimes supplement it with my personal Claude Code account but really, it doesn’t make that much difference, especially if you’re giving it feedback as it goes.
It seems to me that a lot of the preference for Claude Code right now is not based on actual functionality - it’s just what everyone has come to believe is better.
Antigravity 2.0 is a great solution to the problem called "I have too much money and I don't know where to spend it", agents are doing their job (maximizing token usage) perfectly.

It's too little, too late.

They're just not putting minor versions in the headlines
