Get Out of the Model's Way — Kevin Hou, Google DeepMind
Google DeepMind's Antigravity 2.0 separates IDE from agent manager as standalone apps
“give the ball to Messi and get out of the way”
Kevin Hou from Google DeepMind presented Antigravity 2.0, the company's agent-based coding product launched in November 2025, which now separates the IDE from a standalone agent manager. The product supports subagents, work trees, scheduled tasks, and voice mode, guided by the design principle of 'do not interfere with the model.' The talk frames agentic coding tools as entering a new tier where product quality should scale automatically as underlying models improve.
