My usage was very consistent thorough the month. I wasnt launching subagents, I wasnt working with more full caches, they just tightened my limits during the month I paid like 180$ for, which was discounted 50% for first 3 months, so they wanted over 300$ to keep the sub I hit 5h limits before my cofee gets cold. Absolutely insane
A real lesson in how not to treat your customers. I would probably still be paying for it if they'd applied the new limits more softly.
I wasn't able to give the new ChatGPT desktop app a try because it insists on phone number for the registration flow even though I'm using a free tier.
Erm, that's to be expected. GPUs ain't free. Anyone can make a free account and cost them potentially infinite compute, so a phone number is a way to lock that down. Might not be the "best" way, but hey: it's free.
If you give it a task, it completes it. It might so a single agent chug, or delegate some parallel tasks..
The architecture is essentially what was agreed on during the planning and spec phases.
So I'm just not understanding like... The codebot produces everything I ask, I use Gemini all day every day and I don't hit limits.
I see that if I were trying to code 10 hours a day the limits might be a problem but... This is a personal plan.
So. When people say that Gemini sucks, or they're hitting limits, I'm not understanding what problems they're encountering...
ultracode is different to ultrathink (because of course it is...)
ultrathink was "throw more tokens" (it was a Claude feature that has gone away[1])
ultracode is "throw more tokens AND write code that creates and orchastrates subagents": https://code.claude.com/docs/en/workflows
[1] https://claudelog.com/faqs/what-is-ultrathink/ claims it has returned, but that might not be accurate
But got the google ai pro free 1 yr student - been liking agy quite alot actually - pretty good weekly allotment. Like the default, Flash 3.7 high.
Even bought extra credits I've been hammering it all day long.
People talk all day about coding but where this thing amazes me is devops. It hooked itself to discord so i can command it, set up or troubleshoot ssh servers on my home network. Blew my mind a couple times.
Mostly for things that I know are possible and have a vague idea of how I would do it, but it would take me longer. Some examples in no particular order:
* Made my wife's travel blog/site
* Chrome extension for Crunchyroll to allow multisubs + local translation for unsupported languages (so my wife and I can watch and she doesn't need to focus extra hard reading English)
* Same as above for Netflix
* Setup multi subs with mpv (some Lua plugin shenanigans)
* Setup proton for warcraft 3 + wc3 champions (unofficial ladder) on Linux
* Setup a bunch of xrandr aliases for my different monitor uses (I'm still on x11)
If you need a custom chrome/firefox extension or to create some bespoke Linux QoL stuff, it works great. This was all Gemini Flash 3.5-3.7 (been using it for a while). I suspect pretty much anything would succeed at these tasks, but I just stick with antigravity because it works for me(and I'm on some discounted plan).
Compared $20 ChatGPT and AGY plan: my weekly limit on sol/terra used to disappear in one intensive day (or two normal ones). Now they’ve added the 5-hour limit on top of that, which is even more annoying. With Google I barely notice the limits at all — the only one is Opus 4.6 (not sure why it has one), and I only use it for double-checking sometimes.
The biggest problem is that the Pro model hasn’t been updated, and Flash just doesn’t produce solutions of the same quality as Sol. But it is matter of time...
They are ignoring antigravity IDE like it does not exist anymore.
They’ve had this weird phrasing on this landing page for at least 6 months if not longer. It’s clearly a landing page that receives no love.
For real though, I think their reputation with developers is in the gutter after years of trial balloons.
Their attention is definitely focused on the non IDE tool
Have they ever gotten around to fixing it or is Antigravity only feasible with their Ultra plan?
It feels like such a stereotypical big corp misstep, but based on the reputation that google’s AI products have, I guess I’m not _that_ heartbroken. It’s mostly frustration that they forced the price increase on everyone, and I’m definitely not receiving the benefit.
Every single hour on HN it's OpenAI does this, Gemini does that.
It's all nothing.
Extra reasoning. Big whoop.
the primary difference between the free and the paid versions should be the amount of inference quota you have access to
3.7 is very reliable.
But I don’t think it’s as good as Claude Code or Codex yet.
