Special shoutout to @swyx who joined in the middle of @aiDotEngineer - but also is a huge huge reason why ThursdAI exists in the first place. AIE was the first big break for me as a podcaster! 🙇‍♂️ TY sir for all you do

What's cool about Anti-gravity is the new Manager mode, where instead of being a developer, you're effectively a PM, running a bunch of agents, getting messages from them in an Inbox and maintaining a fleet of agents!

The agents can open the browser, record a video and iterate

Ok now for the really big bomb, Joining Jules and Gemini CLI, Google releases Antigravity, their VSCode clone for agentic coding, powered by Gemini 3 Pro!

I've been testing this for a bit, and I really like it! The biggest surprise, they will be offering this for FREE 👀

I'll be posting a full breakdown of the new Agent search separately, but Gemini app will now be able to take actions on your behalf! Finally, Google is stepping into the Agentic AI scene, with work that started with Mariner a while ago! 👀

Both Pro and Thinking will be available in @Google search as well (with a smart router)

In AI mode, you are now able to ask for a deeper and richer results and the generative UIs are featured here as well, here's an example of a loan calculator vibe coded just for a Mortgage

The Era of Generative UI is here!

Thanks to Gemini-3 pro multimodal understanding, Google is basically shipping mini-apps at inference time!

This will include rich media previews, but also, vibe coded apps just for your request! Honestly bonkers!

With a massive 1501 @arena (+50 on 2.5 pro), 91.9% on GPQA diamond and 37.5% on HLE, this is the most powerful LLM intelligence we've had access to yet.

And w/ DeepThink + tools an even more impressive 41.1% on HLE and an unprecedented 45.1% on @arcprize

Sora2 from @openai released just 2 days ago, and people are creating and remixing incredible things.

The top video with 2.2K likes is a selfie video of Jesus during the last supper, but it only starts there. Sora allows folks to remix any video by adding their own prompt.
