Google's Antigravity Adds a '/boost' Mode for Deeper AI Reasoning
Google has added a feature called Boost to Antigravity, its AI platform, giving users a simple way to ask the model to think harder before responding. Triggered with a "/boost" command, the feature reportedly shifts the system into a more deliberate reasoning mode, trading speed for depth on complex prompts.
Details are still light—the announcement lives in Antigravity's docs rather than a full product blog post—but the concept mirrors a broader industry trend of giving users manual control over how much compute or reasoning effort a model applies per query, rather than using a one-size-fits-all response style.
The Hacker News discussion around it was modest, suggesting the feature is more of an incremental tweak than a headline launch, but it fits into Google's ongoing push to make Antigravity a serious contender against other AI coding and reasoning assistants.
