Antigravity Agent May 2026 preview

Verified
2026-10-11

Provider-recommended replacement: antigravity-preview-09-2026.

Google lists October 5 as the earliest shutdown date for this managed agent, rather than a base model. We have not tested whether the endpoint is already unavailable. Local-tool integrations need the new parameter and file-edit contracts described in the September 17 release notes; changing only the agent ID may be insufficient.

OpenAI Chat Latest

Provider-recommended replacement: Not verified.

OpenAI updated this chat snapshot on October 7. It remains a moving alias, not a newly named base model or a pinned benchmark version. The provider recommends the GPT-6 family for production APIs; no predecessor score is transferred.

Replacement recommendation: anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5.

The exact catalog alias changed from Haiku 4.5 to Haiku 5.5 between the October 7 and October 8 observations. Thinking defaults, tokenization and long-context prices change with it. Pin and test a specific model before depending on this alias; native Anthropic IDs are separate contracts.

This applies to the managed Deep Research agent, not the underlying Gemini model family. Update the agent parameter in interactions.create and test speed versus comprehensiveness on your research tasks.

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Fast Gateway offer

2026-10-11

Provider-recommended replacement: Not verified.

The route was present October 8 and is absent October 9; its Gateway model page now returns 404. This does not establish native model retirement or prove that every account request fails. The historical profile and offer are preserved; verify a currently supported route before using it.

Provider-recommended replacement: drex-v1.5.

The provider documents that omitted model, drex-latest and retired drex-v1.1 currently serve drex-v1.5 at $0.05 per million input tokens. Unknown drex-/nacedm-prefixed names may also fall back. Check the response model; a retired ID here does not mean requests stop.

SAME TOKEN ASSUMPTIONS · DIFFERENT BILL

What would an upgrade cost?

Pick two models and enter your monthly usage. The estimate uses OpenRouter offers checked 2026-10-11.

Tokens are the pieces of text a model processes. Include charged thinking tokens in output. Caching reuses previously stored input, so those tokens are already part of your total input. This comparison uses the same counts for both models; actual usage, answer quality and caching can differ.

Monthly difference · B minus A$0

Same estimate with these token assumptions.

The same text can use more tokens with a new tokenizer. Haiku 5.5 counts about 30% more than Haiku 4.5 on average, so repeat this estimate with your measured usage. Excludes cache writes, retries, tool fees, image/audio-specific billing, hosting, taxes and service tiers. The caching estimate assumes your reusable input is already stored and qualifies for a discount. Rules differ by service. Only confirmed catalog prices for long prompts are included. A large input limit does not guarantee the model will use every detail correctly.

Check the quality separately

Claude Haiku 5.5, GPT-6.1 Sol and Claude Sonnet 5.5 have extra high and max results on the same LiveBench question set. Lower settings remain unmeasured in this dataset. Their dollar costs and durations are not published here.

When was this checked?

A daily review is scheduled for 05:30 Europe/Vilnius. This page shows the last completed review, not a live feed. A source checked today can still contain older results. Missing independent evidence stays pending.

These are distinct kinds of systems, not a count of independent base models. Discovery and catalog addition dates are not verified launch dates.
