Developers Navigate Gemini 3.8 Flash Risks and Rewards in Third-Party Tools
Third-party tool users raised alarms over potential full Google account suspensions.
TLDR
Developers discussed risks of routing Gemini 3.8 Flash through Antigravity in tools like T3 Code. Gergely Orosz pointed to terms allowing Google account suspension for suspected third-party usage. Theo warned that such bans could be life-ruining and noted the model's strong DeepSWE results. Google DeepMind staff Evan Otero and Rody Davis responded by clarifying the terms to limit impact to Antigravity and Gemini CLI accounts only. Theo added Antigravity support to T3 Code nightly builds after the update. Varun Mohan reported resetting quotas due to heavy usage.

Theo - t3.gg@theoI don't think people understand just how risky it is to try and use their Google Gemini subscriptions outside of Google's official surfaces. You can get your ENTIRE GOOGLE ACCOUNT BANNED. OpenAI or Anthropic ban? Annoying but whatever Google account ban? Legit life ruining.

T- Theo - t3.gg@theoMultiple Deepmind employees are claiming the TOS is out of date and Google doesn't enforce this anymore. Separately, I found a semi-official ACP server for AGY. Gonna try to get this out by end of week. If you get banned, tell @_mohansolo and it should be fixed quickly :)…

T- Theo - t3.gg@theoAntigravity is now available in T3 Code nightly builds. Thankful to them for saying they don't intend to ban people for using their Gemini subs for things like this :) https://twitter.com/theo/status/2095397995890262333

GO Gergely Orosz@GergelyOroszAntigravity's terms of services make it crystal clear that if they determine you use Antigravity in a way they suspect is eg third-party usage (eg use OpenClaw), they can suspend your Google account. One reason to NOT use Antigravity. I'm not taking this risk, sorry.…

VM Varun Mohan@_mohansoloWe’re resetting Gemini quotas on Antigravity. TPUs are melting with 3.8 Flash usage but we want you all to keep building!
