Ask HN: Suggest Google Antigravity Alternative

7 points·Pallavimdb··13 comments

I have been using Google Antigravity ide with pro plan. But after recent update of Google Antigravity ide it removed gemini 3 and current models quota gets exhaust quickly. Need advice for alternative. Can't spend much and don't have budget for claude or other expensive models.

It's insane this update.

I hope they increase the quota and this is just a capacity issue.

But they basically killed it on the pro plan. Very disappointed and upset today, I've burnt through my weekly allowance on a handful of prompts trying to fix a bug that it's made worse. Now I can't use it for 6 days.

Cursor is the best alternative of antigravity. You can also check chatgpt model codex

Cursor I guess, not the best one out there but if your coming from antigravity it’s not that much of a difference.

Or if your really tight in budget you could try Windsurfs „SWE-1.6“ model, currently free for pro users.

evaluate the Opencode's budget friendly "Go plan"

I use opencode with local Qwen 3.6 or GLM 4.7 models, running in llama.cpp, and am very happy with it for a lot of coding and code analysis work. Infinite tokens!

I have been trying it, seems great so far.

just out of curiosity, which GPU are you running on your local machine ?

I have a Macbook Pro with M1 Max processor. I build llama.cpp from main every week or so, which I'm pretty sure includes Apple's 'metal' acceleration. That's it tho.

Isn't Claude pro plan the same price as google?

Yeah, and as much as people complain about Claude restrictions, it's a lot more generous than Antigravity and more transparent.

Yeah, Google's quotas are crazy low compared to Anthropic's as of today

opencode, mistral vibe

Thanks
