Cyber resilience on AWS: A reference approach for recovery from ransomware and destructive events

Cyber resilience is the ability to recover workloads to a known-good state after an adversary has affected the environment. Prevention works to keep threat actors out and detection works to find them quickly. Cyber resilience focuses on recovery: restoring a trustworthy environment when backups, credentials, or parts of the infrastructure can no longer be assumed

Benchmark and optimize LLMs on-device with AI Edge Portal

LLMs have become more powerful at smaller sizes, but deploying them to edge devices like smartphones remains a massive challenge. Today, developers have to optimize across a sprawling combination of accelerators, operating systems, and countless System-on-a-Chip (SoC) configurations, often relying on manual testing with just a handful of devices. Google AI Edge Portal helps solve

Introducing Agent Executor, Google’s distributed Agent Runtime

As models and harnesses improve, agents are taking on increasingly complex tasks that can run for hours or even days. But as we push agents to do more, this has surfaced a new operational problem: long-running agent workflows are fragile and incredibly hard to manage reliably and efficiently in production. Today, we’re introducing Agent Executor,

Agent Sandbox on GKE is now available for everyone, and a first look at Agent Substrate

In just a short time, we’ve seen AI transition from simple chat interfaces to autonomous agents capable of function calling, code execution, and persistent terminal use. But to orchestrate these capabilities securely, agents need more than just intelligence — they need a robust, hyper-scalable, secure compute environment in which to execute code. Since our preview

The agentic era: Architecting the blueprint for mission impact across the public sector

This is a new era — the agentic era – and the question is no longer, “what’s possible?” but rather, “what creates impact?” Today, organizations across industries around the world are swiftly moving from AI exploration and pilots to real-world use cases that drive impact, at scale. They are doing this with agents. In order
