- Google unveils Antigravity 2.0 at I/O 2026, including new CLI tool
- Users of the existing Gemini CLI will need to migrate to the new Antigravity CLI
- The immigration process will begin in the coming weeks
Google has updated its Antigravity vibe coding app with a completely new platform and told existing Gemini CLI users that they will need to migrate.
Antigravity 2.0, unveiled at Google I/O 2026, marks the company’s push to encourage more agentic coding, offering an updated desktop app, an SDK for custom workflows, and, most importantly, a CLI tool.
The company says that to provide the best experiences for coders in the future, Gemini CLI users will need to migrate to the new Antigravity CLI in the coming weeks.
Gemini CLI to antigravity
“Gemini CLI demonstrated that the terminal could be an amazing interface for agency tasks, but its needs changed,” stated a Google Developers blog post announcing the news.
“You now need multiple agents to communicate with each other to divide work and solve complex problems. This means your endpoint tools must share a unified backend with the rest of your workflow.”
“Listening to your feedback made one thing clear: We can serve you better by pouring our energy into a single product built for today’s multi-agent reality. To deliver the single platform you need to build the future, we’re unifying our efforts on Google Antigravity, our flagship agent-first development platform.”
The blog post notes that Gemini CLI has a community of “millions of users, with over 100,000 GitHub stars, 6,000 merged pull requests, and hundreds of contributors.”
He adds that, “while there won’t be 1:1 feature parity from the start,” the company has ensured that key Gemini CLI features are ported over to Antigravity CLI, with Agent Skills, Hooks, Subagents, and Extensions (now as Antigravity plugins) all present.
Google also says that Antigravity CLI is “more agile and responsive” and can orchestrate multiple agents for complex tasks in the background, allowing users to upload research topics without overloading the terminal session.
Antigravity CLI is now available for both consumer and enterprise users, and enterprise users do not need to do anything to change its use.
Consumers will need to start migrating soon, however, as Google said the Gemini CLI and Gemini Code Assist IDE extensions will stop serving requests for Google AI Pro and Ultra, as well as those using it for free using Gemini Code Assist for individuals, on June 18, 2026.
The company says it will soon provide video tutorials on the process as it wants to help make the transition “as seamless as possible.”
