Running 3 agents in Antigravity IDE needs 4-8GB RAM, and 'autonomy' is a stretch

A user's hands-on notes on running a multi-agent loop (Arch + Dev + Tester) in Google's Antigravity IDE:
- Hardware reality: even just 3 agents need at least 4-8 GB RAM and 4 CPU cores @ 3.0+ GHz on your VPS — heavy processes run locally, not only on the IDE/LLM side; underpowered setups produce cryptic mile-long errors. A mid-tier VPS or solid laptop is required.
- 'Autonomy' is a stretch: nearly every test-fix cycle requires manually digging through logs and making the final call on fixes.
The author asks whether anyone is actually seeing fully autonomous loops or still babysitting theirs.
