Nolen Jonker writes that Google Antigravity, Claude Code, and Codex each occupy a distinct niche among LLM coding agents: Antigravity excels at frontend work requiring visual verification (via its built-in browser that navigates running apps and records proof), while Claude Code dominates multi-file refactoring and production code quality, and Codex dominates terminal automation, DevOps, and token-efficient high-volume workflows.
Antigravity's free tier is the only one offering full access to frontier models without a subscription, and its built-in Chrome browser lets agents visually verify frontend work by navigating and recording the running app. However, Claude Code leads on complex multi-file refactoring, and Codex dominates terminal automation and token efficiency.
