Cloud execution is coming to Antigravity soon

🗞 #google @testingcatalog

GOOGLE 🔥: Antigravity may get Cloud execution support next week.

Users will be able to switch between local and cloud environments for task execution.

This follows an earlier announcement that the Jules AI agent is being discontinued, and Google said its functionality will move to Antigravity.

A separate announcement has teased "big releases for Antigravity" next week; however, it is still unclear whether the earlier-spotted "Chief of Stuff" agent will be announced.
