Release signals

Google Antigravity1.3.5Oct 14, 2026

Added Auto mode, which approves file edits and safe commands without asking and still prompts before irreversible actions; commands that would leave the terminal sandbox are first reviewed by a separate agent.

  • Choose it with `--mode auto`, from `Agent Mode` in `/config`, or by pressing `Shift+Tab` to cycle modes.
  • Auto mode is available on Linux and macOS, with Windows support coming later.

  • Added the /compact command to compact the conversation on demand and free up the context window: /compact on its own summarizes the conversation and ends the turn, and /compact <message> summarizes it and then answers your message. While it runs the CLI shows a Compacting conversation... progress label that you can cancel with Esc, and when it finishes it shows how many steps were summarized and how much smaller the context became.
  • Added syntax highlighting to the /diff file view, with token colors for each color scheme and a background tint on added and removed lines. With the Terminal color scheme the CLI detects whether your terminal has a light or dark background and picks matching colors. The color scheme previews in /config and first-run setup now show a sample

Google Antigravity1.3.4Oct 13, 2026

Added a `--json` flag to `agy plugin list` for machine-readable output, and fixed the command showing only imported plugins: it now lists every installed plugin, including ones installed from a marketplace, with its version and whether it is enabled.

  • Changed `--model` and `/model` to accept a base model name without `--effort`: instead of failing with an error asking for `--effort`, the CLI now picks the model's default thinking level (the server's default for that model, otherwise medium, otherwise the lowest available).

  • Improved Remote Control so the browser's Settings modal opens for CLI sessions and shows the settings the CLI actually uses (project and global permissions, queued messages, AI credits, telemetry, and artifact review) instead of a notice that settings can't be changed in the browser, and agy remote-control serve sessions now use your saved settings.json and save changes made in the browser back to it.
  • Improved the /model picker for Business sign-in with a Google Cloud project on pay-as-you-go: third-party models your project can't access are now hidden instead of failing when you send a message.

Google Antigravity1.3.3Oct 10, 2026

Added a pinned prompt header in no flickering mode while you scroll back through a long conversation: the prompt that produced the response you're reading stays at the top of the transcript, and clicking it jumps back to that prompt.

  • Added support for MCP servers to mark a tool as always loaded by setting `_meta: {"antigravity/alwaysLoad": true}` on it in their `tools/list` response, so the agent gets that tool directly instead of discovering it on demand.

  • Added support for a root-level agents.json in plugins, so a plugin can declare its subagents the same way it declares skills and rules with skills.json and rules.json.
  • Changed the macOS terminal sandbox to block sandboxed commands from reading ~/Library/Application Support by default, since desktop apps keep credentials and session tokens there; previously it was readable, and you can still allow it explicitly in your sandbox rules.
  • Improved error messages: a request that fails with an HTML error page, for example from a corporate proxy, now shows the page title instead of the raw HTML, other long non-JSON error bodies are cut off after 500 bytes, and reaching your individual quota is reported right away

Google Antigravity1.3.2Oct 8, 2026

Added `/plugin`, an interactive manager for the official Antigravity plugin marketplace: browse and install plugins that bundle skills, MCP servers, subagents, rules, and hooks, or install them from your shell without opening the CLI with `agy plugin install <plugin-name>@antigravity-plugins-official`; install one straight from a folder on your computer with `+ Install from local directory...`; fill in any settings a plugin needs in a simple form before it turns on; and manage installed plugins with `/plugin install`, `uninstall`, `enable`, `disable`, and `list`.

  • Added more options for plugin authors: keep the manifest in a .antigravity-plugin/ or .gemini-plugin/ folder, list skills in plugin.json, store data in a per-plugin folder available as PLUGIN_DATA, and ship command-line tools in a bin/ folder that the agent can run by name.
  • Improved plugin installs: the plugin list opens instantly, an interrupted install never leaves a half-installed plugin behind, and installing or removing plugins on Windows is more reliable.

Google Antigravity1.3.1Oct 7, 2026

Improved navigation in the `/diff` file view: `←`/`→` now open the next or previous file at its first change with the hunk header and leading context in view, each file remembers its cursor and scroll position when you switch files or go back to the file list, `n`/`N` continue into the next or previous file's changes instead of stopping at the last change in the current file, and the key-hint footer drops the generic scroll and page hints and wraps onto extra lines instead of being cut off on narrow terminals.

  • Improved the /diff file view header to show where you are: it now ends with a right-aligned change A/B · file X/Y position, counting the block of added or removed lines under the cursor and the file's place in the file list (file X/Y is left out when only one file changed, and the position is hidden on narrow terminals).
  • Fixed /rewind in very long conversations listing older messages as (empty message) and failing with an error when you picked one: messages that were cleared to save space now show their original text, dimmed and labeled cleared to save space, can't rewind here, and can no longer be selected.

Google Antigravity1.3.0Oct 6, 2026

Changed the default `Verbosity` setting from `high` to `medium`, so the conversation view now groups related tool calls and thoughts into concise summaries while keeping commands and responses visible.

  • This applies to everyone who never picked a verbosity, including anyone who selected `high` while it was still the default; set `Verbosity` back to `high` in `/config` to see every tool call, command, and thought in full again.

  • Changed j and k in the /diff file view to move the line cursor like the up and down arrow keys, matching the file list and Vim, instead of jumping to the next or previous file; use the left and right arrow keys to switch files.
  • Fixed trackpad and mouse-wheel scrolling in the conversation view jumping back and forth, most noticeably over SSH or inside tmux, by ignoring the sideways part of diagonal swipes and limiting how far a single fast scroll step can move; Page Up and Page Down still move a full page.
  • Fixed files and folders whose paths contain spaces, #, %, or other special characters, or that sit on a Windows drive, being mishandled across the CLI: @ file mentions, /codesearch results, and file links in agent responses now open

Google Antigravity1.2.17Oct 5, 2026

Added announcement cards above the prompt for model launches, deprecations, and other service notices.

  • Cards appear one at a time, newest first; press `Esc` on an empty prompt to dismiss the current card permanently and show the next one, and sending a message hides the card for the rest of the session.
  • Improved the Windows command sandbox so sandboxed commands no longer need administrator rights, and common tools such as Python, Git, and `npm` work inside the sandbox out of the box.

  • Fixed markdown table columns drifting out of alignment when a cell contains emoji such as ⚠️ or 👍🏽 or scripts with combining characters such as Hindi, which affected every session over SSH or inside tmux.
  • Fixed .tiff images being reported with the wrong file type and silently converted to PNG when the agent viewed them.

  • Added ←/→ shortcuts to /config: on a highlighted setting they switch to the previous or next value and save it right away, without opening the dropdown, and the footer shows a ←/→ Change hint
  • Improved responsiveness in long conversations in no flicker (altscreen) mode: resizing the terminal no longer freezes or lags the CLI, the full-screen view redraws the messages on screen first instead of showing text wrapped for the old width until the whole conversation has re-rendered, and interrupting the agent with Esc or resuming a conversation no longer re-renders every step already on screen.
  • Improved mouse text selection in the altscreen view and in the artifact viewer: dragging past the top or bottom now auto-scrolls, the selection stays on its text while the agent streams or you scroll with the wheel, and copying includes lines that scrolled off screen, without line numbers or comment previews from the artifact viewer
  • Improved the always-allow suggestion when approving go commands: approving a command such as go vet or go build now offers to allow that subcommand with any arguments, while go run, go test, go generate, go install, and go tool still

Google Antigravity1.2.15Oct 2, 2026

Added prebuilt native Android binaries of the CLI that can run directly in Termux, without requiring a proot-distro environment.

  • Improved responsiveness while typing, scrolling, and streaming agent output by sharply reducing the memory the CLI allocates on every update and redraw
  • Improved `-p "/usage"` to show quota reset times in your local time zone when printing to a terminal; piped and `--json` output still use UTC timestamps, so existing scripts are unaffected

  • Improved -p "/usage" to show quota reset times in your local time zone when printing to a terminal; piped and --json output still use UTC timestamps, so existing scripts are unaffected
  • Improved the always-allow suggestion when approving repo commands: it is now limited to the subcommand, such as repo status, instead of allowing every repo command, matching git, hg, and jj
  • Improved how the agent handles a permission request that is not approved, such as one raised by a subagent that cannot ask you: it now respects the denial and no longer tries to work around it with other commands, scripts, or tools
  • Fixed the conversation view freezing for the rest of the session, with no new steps appearing while the agent kept working, after redraws such as several quick terminal resizes in a long conversation; the CLI now reconnects automatically, warns only if reconnecting fails, and

Added the `Queued Messages` option to `/config`: keep the default `Queue` to hold follow-up messages until the current turn ends, or choose `Send Immediately` to interrupt the agent with them; it can also be set with `"queuedMessages": "send-immediately"` in `settings.json`, which was previously ignored

  • Improved remote-control start on Linux machines without a systemd user service manager, such as most containers: instead of failing, it now starts the daemon as a background process and warns that it will not restart after a crash or start at boot; remote-control status shows its PID and remote-control stop shuts it down
  • Improved loading long conversations: resuming a conversation with thousands of steps is noticeably faster because the CLI no longer scans every step up front
  • Improved automatically generated conversation titles to take images and files attached to your first message into account, so screenshot- or file-driven requests get specific titles and messages with only attachments get a title too
  • Improved the sign-in error shown to accounts blocked for a Terms of Service violation, which now includes a link to submit an appeal

Google Antigravity1.2.13Sep 29, 2026

Improved rate-limit handling when the model API returns a retry delay: the CLI now waits the delay the server asks for instead of a fixed 5 seconds, and stops right away instead of retrying when the delay is longer than 30 seconds or the quota is a daily or billing cap

  • Improved rendering efficiency, cutting CPU use and memory churn while the conversation view redraws, such as during fast scrolling or while the agent is working

  • Improved the artifact viewer's m hint to name the content and the mode it switches to, such as diagram ASCII, diagram source, or math image, instead of toggle ASCII or toggle raw
  • Fixed the workspace trust dialog, the /help panel, and the sign-in and MCP authentication screens clipping text on narrow terminals of around 40 columns; long lines and navigation hints now wrap, and the /help tab bar compacts to fit

Google Antigravity1.2.12Sep 27, 2026

Improved scrolling in the full-screen view: bursts of mouse-wheel or trackpad events are now coalesced before redrawing, which cuts CPU use and reduces scroll lag in long conversations and the artifact viewer

  • Improved `GEMINI_API_KEY` sessions to stop immediately when the Gemini API reports an exhausted daily quota, a project or billing-account spend cap, or depleted prepaid credits, instead of spending several minutes on retries that cannot succeed; short-lived per-minute rate limits are still retried

  • Fixed resuming a long conversation in medium or low verbosity taking many seconds and lagging while history replayed: earlier tool groups now appear already finished instead of each re-animating, and keys pressed during the replay no longer refresh a half-loaded transcript
  • Fixed the terminal or tab title changing to a string like Ga=q,f=32,... every time the CLI starts inside GNU screen, tmux (including iTerm2 tmux -CC tabs), or Zellij; the CLI no longer sends its image-support probe through a multiplexer, and CLI_GRAPHICS=kitty still forces image mode

Improved reasoning effort level for models with different support, selectable with `--effort` or from the effort gauge in `/effort` and `/model`.

  • Changed plugins placed directly in `~/.gemini/config/plugins` so that a plugin whose MCP server needs configuration variables now starts disabled until you enable it, matching plugins installed through `/plugin`.
  • Fixed Mermaid diagrams and LaTeX rendering as rows of garbled placeholder characters in WezTerm and the VS Code integrated terminal; these terminals are no longer assumed to support Kitty graphics and now show the ASCII fallback

  • Fixed copying text from the artifact viewer when Copy on Select is turned off in /config: the viewer no longer captures the mouse, so your terminal's own selection and copy shortcut work, and Ctrl+C goes back to interrupting or exiting
  • Fixed project custom agents in .agents/agents/ not being found or selectable in workspaces created in the Desktop App, in already-trusted workspaces, under execution with --agent, in headless (-p / --prompt) runs, and in the /agents panel.

  • Improved Mermaid diagram and LaTeX rendering in the artifact viewer on Kitty-compatible terminals: artifacts are pre-rendered in the background so diagrams appear as soon as the viewer opens, images are uploaded once at a smaller size, and zooming with Ctrl+= / Ctrl+- no longer flickers between the old and new sizes
  • Improved the artifact viewer footer by combining the separate top and bottom hints into one g/G top/bottom entry, labeling m with the view it switches to (diagram, LaTeX, ASCII, or raw), and fixing hints that contain arrow symbols wrapping onto a new line too early
  • Improved terminal sandbox behavior so the agent asks to bypass the sandbox less often: it now knows sandboxed commands can read and write its own artifact and scratch directories, and it tries the sandbox first even after an earlier command needed a bypass

Google Antigravity1.2.9Sep 23, 2026

Added `@<subagent> <message>` prompt syntax to send a message directly to a subagent conversation, with autocomplete listing running and completed subagents

  • Added Vim numeric count multipliers so counts apply to operators, motions, and actions in Normal and Visual modes, including `3dw`, `2d3w`, `3dd`, `3x`, `3rX`, `3p`, `3u`, `[count]G`/`gg`/`$`, and counted text objects such as `2di(`

  • Improved command allow-listing suggestions to recognize jj config and jj op subcommands when offering to always allow a command
  • Fixed headless (-p / --prompt) runs leaving daemon background processes running after exit, which could hang scripts reading the CLI's output until end-of-file; daemon processes now terminate when the run ends
