Antigravity

Definition

Plain language

Google's coding assistant program that lets an AI write and run code on your computer.

As stated in the literature

Gemini-based agentic coding harness; one of the model-harness pairs evaluated for trace-tampering propensity.

Also called: Gemini's Antigravity

Why it matters: Assistants like this turn suggestions into actions on a real machine, so whatever safeguards they ship with become the last line of defense when the AI does something unintended.

For example, a developer might ask Antigravity to fix a failing test, and it will edit the project's files and run the test suite itself rather than just suggesting changes.

Heard on the show

“But look at what the transcript is, on something like Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini’s Antigravity CLI.”
