Gemini CLI didn't refuse to perform security audits of code. That makes it better than Antigravity, IMHO.

Security audits are the one thing everyone needs to be doing with AI, now, even if you're not doing any other work with AI. If you hate LLMs you still need to defend against them. And, the US providers seem to all be racing to make that capability inaccessible to anyone who isn't at a Fortune 500 and able to use their "cyber" versions.

Because it's valuable. I'd be surprised if the big providers didn't go even further with this idea. Need your agent to write some C++? Gotta upgrade to the "system developer" package (a $100/mo add-on to your subscription). SQL? You'll need the DBA package. Working with hardware/firmware (or anything that might be construed as reverse engineering or hardware hacking)? You'll need a verified computer engineering account for that.

And, everyone will go to Chinese/open models. Which, I guess, is why the US providers are angling for regulatory capture to lock in their monopoly for a few years and guarantee US decline in tech to the status of an "also ran".
