    The reality with releases like this is that I'm 90% sure most Google bigwigs have never heard of it, and it's misleading to label it as "Google's" in the title.

    Yes, it was developed by Google employees, that does not imply it has the full backing of Google, or Deepmind, or GCP. Notably, the website doesn't seem to claim this either.

      I have no insider knowledge but <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;x.com&#x2F;rakyll" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;x.com&#x2F;rakyll is working on it and she is tweeting about it and I got the impression there is a quite a team behind it. It looks like an effort in GCP.

        Yes, and one thing to understand about Google is that no AI framework or tool is guaranteed to survive unless it has the explicit backing of Google Deepmind.

        &quot;Effort in GCP&quot; is a red flag. (See Gemini CLI, which was shut down in favor of Antigravity CLI.)

          Antigravity CLI is far, far superior to Gemini CLI.

          Plant many flowers, keep the ones that bloom and stop watering the ones that don&#x27;t.

            I agree on both accounts fwiw.
