Antigravity × Gemma 4: Building Production AI Agents with Local LLMs
A complete guide to running Gemma 4 in Antigravity and building production-grade AI agents. Covers model selection, Ollama setup, AgentKit 2.0 integration, and multi-agent scaling.
Google's Gemma 4, released in late 2025, has become the new standard for open-source LLMs. Compared to Llama 2 or Mistral, it offers significant improvements in inference speed and knowledge breadth — especially in coding and logical reasoning. And Antigravity is your ideal platform for running Gemma 4 locally and building enterprise-grade AI agents.
This guide walks you from Gemma 4 fundamentals through production-ready agent implementation, all the way to multi-agent scaling strategies. By the end, you'll have a fully autonomous AI system powered by Gemma 4 running on your machine.
The Gemma 4 Landscape: Variants and Antigravity Compatibility
Gemma 4, from Google DeepMind, distinguishes itself through a strategic variant approach. There are three main flavors:
Gemma 4 2B
Parameters: 2 billion
Memory: 4GB (quantized) to 6GB (full precision)
Speed: Extremely fast per token
Best for: Lightweight edge devices, real-time responses, prototyping
Gemma 4 9B
Parameters: 9 billion
Memory: 8GB (quantized) to 18GB (full precision)
Speed: Fast and balanced
Best for: General-purpose agents, most production environments
Gemma 4 27B
Parameters: 27 billion
Memory: 16GB (quantized) to 54GB (full precision)
Speed: Slower, but highest accuracy
Best for: Complex reasoning tasks, specialized domain agents
Antigravity Synergy
Antigravity was built with local LLMs in mind:
Zero API costs: No cloud dependency, no per-token billing
# Gemma 4 9B (recommended: good balance)ollama pull gemma4:9b# Or the lightweight 2Bollama pull gemma4:2b# Or the powerful 27Bollama pull gemma4:27b
First pull takes a few minutes to hours depending on model size and internet speed. Gemma 4 9B is about 9GB.
Quantization Variants
By default, you get a quantized version (typically q4_0 or q5_K_M). If you have spare RAM, request higher precision:
# Finer quantization (≈18GB, 8GB RAM recommended)ollama pull gemma4:9b-q5_K_M# Full precision (≈34GB, 24GB RAM required — not recommended)ollama pull gemma4:9b-fp16

const result = await basicAgent("Explain quantum computing in 3 sentences.");console.log(result);
Output:
Quantum computing harnesses quantum mechanics principles like superposition and entanglement to process information fundamentally differently than classical computers. Unlike classical bits (0 or 1), quantum bits (qubits) can exist in multiple states simultaneously, allowing quantum computers to explore many solutions in parallel. This makes them potentially exponentially faster for certain problems like cryptography and molecular simulation.
AgentKit 2.0: Tool Integration and Memory
Production agents need more than raw language modeling. They need tools (web search, database queries, calculations) and persistent memory. That's AgentKit 2.0.
const agent = new GemmaProductionAgent();const result = await agent.run( "What's the current price of gold and how much is 5 kg worth?");console.log(result);
The agent automatically:
Recognizes it needs current data
Calls web_search for gold prices
Uses calculate to compute 5kg worth
Returns a complete answer
Multi-Agent Systems: Parallel Execution at Scale
One agent can't handle multiple simultaneous tasks efficiently. Time for multi-agent orchestration.
const tests = await agent.run(`Create Jest tests for:${functionCode}Aim for 80%+ coverage, include edge cases and mocks`);
Wrapping up: The Future of Local AI
Gemma 4 + Antigravity represents the new standard for enterprise local AI agents. You've learned:
Variant selection: Choosing 2B, 9B, or 27B for your constraints
Setup: Ollama configuration and API verification
Agents: Building tool-using, memory-aware agents with AgentKit 2.0
Scaling: Multi-agent orchestration for parallel workloads
Optimization: Quantization, context tuning, and caching strategies
Gemma is still new, but Google commits to regular improvements and new variants. The architecture you've built scales seamlessly to future versions.
Local LLMs are no longer experimental — they're the backbone of modern AI development. Master them, and you're ahead of the curve.
