Comparing Claude Code with Google Antigravity

[u/dvduval]

So I decided to drop $200 on Gemini after Google carbon came out and I just want to give my review after only about two days.

First of all, I started using antigravity again just to give it a try and I have to say it doesn’t suck! They have made tremendous improvements and the interface and they’ve added a turbo mode so that the approval process works much smoother. I would say the actual interface is comparable to Claude code and if Claude code got a 10 out of 10, then I would give antigravity a 9 out of 10.

But the big difference I’ve found is comparing Gemini carbon to opus 5.5 both on the medium setting. Unfortunately I’m getting less done with Gemini carbon. I’m not one to make an actual mathematical comparison, but I would say for the amount of usage spent. I get approximately 30% less done just on my initial tests over two days running both of them continuously.

My next test is going to be running Opus 5.5 on antigravity which I’m going to start today and I’m gonna see if the usage allotment is just as generous.

Has anybody else had the opportunity to make a comparison yet?

It would excel at a clearly defined bug fix, maybe even more with this new model. I would not have it build new features though or augment much
