Bye-bye, Gemini CLI; Google's gone and swapped you for a closed-source AI
Most users lose access June 18 - unless you’ve got enterprise creds or paid API keys
Pour one out for the Gemini Command Line Interface. Come June 18, the open source development agent will stop serving most users in favor of the new Antigravity CLI, and developers aren’t happy that the replacement is far less open than the old tool.Google announced the Antigravity CLI at Google I/O this week, billing it as a way for the Chocolate Factory to unify its efforts in developing a command line interface for AI agents. One of the key arguments Google makes in a post about transitioning from Gemini CLI to Antigravity CLI is that the new one has improved support for multi-agent environments, but the company isn’t giving most of its users much of a choice on whether to switch. “On June 18, 2026, Gemini CLI and Gemini Code Assist IDE extensions will stop serving requests for Google AI Pro and Ultra, as well as those using it free of charge using Gemini Code Assist for individuals,” the Gemini CLI team wrote in their announcement of the transition. The change also affects Gemini Code Assist for GitHub, which won’t allow new installations beginning June 18, and will stop serving requests in the following weeks.
