# Google winds down Gemini Code Assist

Full title: Google stops selling Gemini Code Assist Standard and Enterprise and points customers to Antigravity

From Oct 9, 2026 new Gemini Code Assist Standard and Enterprise subscriptions can no longer be purchased. Existing subscriptions auto-renew through the rest of 2026, but auto-renewal ends in 2027. Google's release note sends developers to Antigravity, its agentic coding environment, available through eligible Gemini Enterprise subscriptions and the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform.

## Key facts
- Official release note (Oct 9, 2026): 'Sale of Gemini Code Assist subscriptions is ending … Existing subscriptions will continue to auto-renew through the rest of 2026, but auto-renewal will end in 2027'
- Earlier step (Sept 4, 2026): new subscriptions could no longer be bought in the Cloud console by billing accounts without one; only via Google Cloud sales
- Replacement: Antigravity through eligible Gemini Enterprise subscriptions and Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform; the note gives no transition pricing or migration tooling (AI Weekly)
- Secondary sources give Jan 31, 2027 as the last date to add licences and renew annual plans; we could not confirm this in the official note
- Reported widely only on Oct 16 (TechInformed: 'Google ends Gemini Code Assist sales, sets renewal deadlines')

## What happened

Google is folding its IDE-assistant product into its agent-first coding tool. Gemini Code Assist, launched as Google's answer to
GitHub Copilot, stops being sold to new enterprise customers; Antigravity becomes the recommended tool.

## Why it matters

It is a sign of the industry-wide move from autocomplete-style assistants to coding agents: a major vendor retiring its Copilot-style
product rather than upgrading it.
