“It runs MISRA and CERT-C checks over generated firmware, which is one way to find out how a language model feels about rules.”
Spec by spec
| Spec | Google Antigravity | NeuralInverse |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture | ||

| Multi-file edits | Yes | Yes |
| Git operations | Yes | No |
| Browser control | YesA first-party browser subagent drives Chrome from a separate profile with allowlist/denylist controls (https://antigravity.google/docs/ide/browser/); IDE-side only, not in the agy CLI. | No |
| Sandboxed execution | YesOS-level isolation rather than containers: "no virtual machines or Docker images to manage" - Linux uses kernel namespaces to isolate the filesystem, hide host processes and cut networking; macOS uses sandbox-exec with Seatbelt (SBPL) profiles. | No |
| Multi-agent orchestration | Yes | YesPower Mode runs concurrent sub-agents. |
| Headless / CI mode | Yes | No |

| Bring your own model | YesSetting `modelProvider: "gemini"` in ~/.gemini/antigravity-cli/settings.json plus a GEMINI_API_KEY runs the CLI on your own key and billing instead of a signed-in Google account, and a model selector picks between Gemini, Claude and gpt-oss models in the IDE. | Yes |
| Local models | YesGOOGLE_GEMINI_BASE_URL sends model requests to any Gemini-compatible endpoint, so a self-hosted shim works as a mechanism; no Ollama or LM Studio integration is documented. | YesTwenty providers are supported across cloud, local and gateway deployments, with API keys kept on the machine. |

Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Google Antigravity | NeuralInverse | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 7.0 | 5.8 | Google Antigravity — Pick Antigravity if you want several agents running at once with a browser checking their work; pick Cursor if you want one agent that edits well and stays out of the way. |
| El Crítico | 6.3 | 5.0 | Google Antigravity — Agents drive your editor, terminal and a live Chrome with no container between them and your machine; the only isolation on offer is a git worktree. |
| El Profesor | 6.3 | 5.8 | Google Antigravity — No benchmark is published; the design bet is verification by artifact, with plans, walkthroughs and screenshots the human reviews instead of raw tool logs. |
| La Inversora | 7.3 | 5.0 | Google Antigravity — Google is bundling the IDE into Google AI Pro and Ultra subscriptions, distribution no startup on this board can match and a roadmap no buyer controls. |
| La Jefa | 5.3 | 4.8 | Google Antigravity — The Organization plan is consumption-based through Google Cloud with no seat price on the page, so the invoice for sixty developers is a forecast, not a number. |
| El Hacker | 4.0 | 6.5 | NeuralInverse — The open repository is Apache-2.0, twenty providers span cloud, local and gateway deployments with the keys staying on my machine, and there is no MCP client anywhere in it. |
Picks are derived from each critic's own scores. Humans vote on matchups on the duels page.
