Gemini Code Assist Repriced
jun-2026-gemini-code-assist-google-reprice-antigravity
Individuals free tier retired 2026-06-18, migrated to Antigravity; paid Standard/Ent unchanged The product gemini-code-assist didn't die — Standard/Enterprise still ship. What died was the $0 individual access and the "Pro/Ultra includes IDE coding" bundling. That's a price-tier restructuring: free → removed, consumer-subscriber inclusion → removed, solo dev → forced to Antigravity (which itself has its own consumption-based pricing, Ultra $200/mo with 5× Antigravity limits). Hence reprice on the GCA card, with successor=antigravity and a secondary jul-2026-gemini-code-assist-github-consumer-app-shutdown note for the GitHub surface.
-
Le Chat Rebranded
may-2026-le-chat-rebrand-viber
The product was not shut down, merely rebranded. Accounts, conversation history and subscriptions were all migrated automatically, and the URL `chat.mistral.ai` remains unchanged. The rebrand on **28 May 2026** coincided with a product upgrade: Work Mode, Code Mode, VS Code extension and CLI agent capabilities were added, transforming it beyond a basic chatbot. The former name Le Chat has been officially retired; the public‑facing product is now called Vibe.
