The amount of products and updates shipping from the AI-invigorated Google is mind-boggling.

They are leading or highly competitive in every AI segment: foundation model, open-weights model, video model, image model, world model, AI IDE, AI CLI, text-to-music, text-to-speech, etc. etc. etc.

Their "ai-invigorated" GCP UI has been degrading substantially. It's becoming unusable and slower than Jira (which has actually vastly improved over the last several years). It currently has an expanding state problem (we suspect) because a change in one part of the UI is not reflected in the validation of other fields. Even clearing browser cache does not fix the issues. At least the CLI still works, but that is largely trad machine generated from schemas.

I'm about as AI-pilled as anyone. Stitch is the only Google powered AI product I use. How are they winning?

Never heard of it, seems like a Wix / Canva knock-off?

Really? Right now both Claude Code and Codex seem substantially more capable than Gemini CLI to me.

Tried antigravity and cli a few times. I'm unable to handle that prodigious toddler. Are you guys able to make use of it?

CLI is great, probably 90% as good as CC.

Antigravity CLI or the Gemini one? When I tried the latter about 2 months ago it was shockingly bad, though I was a free user. I assume its better if you're a paying customer?

It doesn't appear that there is an Antigravity CLI, so the ladder. I'm using a paid account though.

For the last few months I was using paid versions of CC, Codex and Gemini CLI, and found them more or less equivalent for my uses. I'm just building web apps though.

In my experience, it was fine for simple tasks - but CC was well ahead for anything which required substantial “thinking”.

Been using it for work and personal daily since release. First few weeks were rough but it's probably the best AI code editor out right now. But that's largely due to the models just be superior
