Updated for Antigravity 2.0

Kilo Code vs Google Antigravity

Kilo CLI is the open-source, model-agnostic command-line agent for developers who want 500+ models, BYOK, local inference, and zero-markup usage without giving up connected workflows across the terminal, IDE, app, and cloud.

Best Fit

Which should you choose?

Choose Kilo Code when

  • You want access to 500+ models instead of a curated model list
  • You need VS Code or JetBrains integration rather than a separate editor
  • You want BYOK, local model support, or zero-markup pay-as-you-go usage
  • You value an open-source agent across CLI, IDE, cloud, and app workflows

Choose Google Antigravity when

  • You want a Google-built agent harness centered on Gemini models
  • You prefer an agent-first desktop command center with scheduled tasks
  • Artifact review and browser recordings are central to your workflow
  • The no-cost Individual plan meets your weekly usage needs

Antigravity Today

What changed with Antigravity 2.0

Antigravity is no longer one IDE. Google now presents it as a multi-surface agent platform built around a shared harness.

Four distinct surfaces

Antigravity is now a platform: the agent-first Antigravity 2.0 app, a lightweight CLI, a separate IDE, and an SDK. Google recommends using 2.0 alongside an IDE for development.

One shared agent harness

Antigravity CLI and Antigravity 2.0 share the same agent core and settings. CLI conversations can be opened in 2.0 when a task needs a visual workspace.

Agents communicate through Artifacts

Plans, walkthroughs, screenshots, browser recordings, diffs, and test results give developers reviewable evidence beyond a raw stream of tool calls.

Why Kilo

Keep your models and tools open

Kilo gives developers one agent ecosystem without requiring one model provider, one editor, or one billing path. Use hosted models, your own provider keys, or local inference, then move between terminal, IDE, app, and cloud workflows.

Frequently asked questions

Is Google Antigravity the same as Antigravity IDE?

No. Antigravity 2.0 is a standalone agent-first desktop application without an IDE. Google also offers a separate Antigravity IDE, Antigravity CLI, and Antigravity SDK.

Is Google Antigravity free?

Google lists an Individual plan at $0 per month with basic weekly rate limits. Google AI Pro and Ultra provide more generous limits and flexible AI credits, while organizations use consumption-based pricing through Google Cloud.

Which models does Google Antigravity support?

As of July 2026, the official model documentation lists Gemini 3.6 Flash, Gemini 3.5 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 4.6, Claude Opus 4.6, and GPT-OSS-120b. Availability varies by plan.

When is Kilo Code a better Antigravity alternative?

Kilo Code is a stronger fit when you need 500+ hosted models, BYOK or local models, open-source code, and native workflows in VS Code and JetBrains as well as the terminal and cloud.
