On November 18, 2025, Google<\/strong> unveiled a combination of two products: the new flagship model Gemini 3 Pro<\/strong> and the agent-first IDE Google Antigravity<\/strong>. The classic concept of “LLM + editor plugin”<\/strong> has its limitations: large monorepos, complex CI\/CD pipelines, multimodal artifacts (screenshots, videos, logs, PDFs), and traceability requirements don’t fit well into a chat window next to the editor. What was needed was a combination:<\/strong> a model that can confidently “think” and understand different modalities, and an environment that plans, executes, and clearly visualizes the work of agents. Google<\/strong> answered our prayers and presented just such a combination: Gemini 3 Pro<\/strong> + Antigravity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Headlines like “Cursor<\/strong> is dead,” “a new era of development,” and “agents will do everything for you” immediately flooded the feeds. In this article, we’ll break down what exactly Google<\/strong> has launched, how Antigravity<\/strong> differs from Cursor<\/strong>, which development scenarios are already changing, and where it’s still too early to abandon your familiar stack.<\/p>\n

What Exactly Did Google Roll Out?<\/h3>\n

1) Gemini 3 Pro<\/strong> – a multimodal model with a long context, optimized for complex reasoning, agentic scenarios, and code. I recommend checking out the Gemini 3 Developer Guide<\/p>\n

2) Google Antigravity<\/strong> – a new agent-first IDE, designed from the ground up not as an editor with code suggestions, but as an environment for multiple AI agents to work on a real project.<\/p>\n

Moreover, Antigravity<\/strong> is not a plugin for VS Code<\/strong> (like Cursor<\/strong> or Copilot<\/strong> extensions), but a separate application based on a fork of VS Code<\/strong>, tailored for multi-agent scenarios. Gemini 3 Pro<\/strong> and Antigravity<\/strong> are designed as a unified architecture for agentic development.<\/p>\n

Officially, Gemini 3 Pro<\/strong> is “the smartest model from Google<\/strong>” and “the world’s best multimodal model for agentic scenarios and vibe-coding”, according to the Google blog. It’s…<\/p>\n
