Google gives all of its engineers Claude Opus 5 access via Antigravity, and says "Gemini remains our primary and foundational model for internal development" (Hugh Langley/Business Insider)
Googlers have some of the best perks in Silicon Valley, but there's one thing many of them have long been denied: access to Anthropic's Claude.
Google has given all of its engineers access to Anthropic's Claude Opus 5 via Antigravity. According to Business Insider, the company stated that "Gemini remains our primary and foundational model for internal development".
This move provides Google engineers with access to a previously restricted AI tool. Historically, many Google employees had been denied access to Anthropic's Claude.
The development was reported by Business Insider, with no additional context provided on the significance or potential impact of this decision.
