Google launched "Antigravity," an agent-first IDE positioning itself as a direct competitor to Cursor. It features Gemini 3 Pro and browser control for automated testing.

Controversy: Varun Mohan joined Google leaving his team behind. Antigravity brings Windsurf code, to the point that they didn't even change the name of the coding agent.

Opus 4.5 is now available in Claude Code.
