Google Ends Antigravity Free Access

Antigravity is Google’s AI platform that gives developers free access to advanced AI models for testing and learning easily.

At first, developers could use Antigravity without paying, enjoying powerful AI tools with almost no limits or restrictions.

Recently, Google ended the free quota, meaning developers now must pay to continue using Antigravity’s AI features.

The “free lunch” is over, leaving many small developers and startups struggling to afford AI computing costs.

Antigravity was popular because it allowed experimenting with AI without worrying about expensive subscriptions or billing surprises.

Now, developers see 0% free access, forcing them to find alternatives or pay for even small projects.
