On the pricing page it says that for public preview they are offering a free individual plan with "generous rate limits". I gave it an HTML file and asked it to create Jinja templates from it and 2 minutes later (still planning, no additional prompt) I got this:

> Model quota limit exceeded. You have reached the quota limit for this model.

I think the models are under high load right now, and not working properly.

So the error messaging is wrong, giving the user the impression it's their fault for not paying. I think that's worse..

It's both.

Free tier users get to use what's left over from Google's capacity. They pay with their data, Google uses their inputs for training.

Paid tier users pay with money, Google doesn't use their inputs. They get priority when capacity is running out (like right after a launch as happened here).

> html

Would be willing to bet this is the issue. Adding html files to context for gemini models results in a ton of token use.

why?

EDIT: why must users care?

Gotta learn all the quirks of the model before it's replaced in 8 minutes.

I haven't used it myself but a few of my colleagues used it saying it is good and they completed a huge chunk of work with Antigravity, mind you I am very skeptical of this.

The don't seem to be getting any rate limiting issue which I don't understand, maybe a bug in Antigravity allowing them to use it for more. They are really confident in the IDE after a few hours and the output given is really good.

It's the same problem with OpenRouter's free tiers for a long time. If something is truly $0 and widely available, people will absolutely bleed it dry.

Same here. I tried to build a super simple iOS App in antigravity and I was out of quota before it finished. The whole thing was a couple of files and a few hundred lines of code.

If you dismiss and respond something like "proceed" it resumes. Takes a fair while to actually run out of usage.

That'd be my experience with gemini cli.

malshe4mo ago

I had pretty much the same experience.
