In the agentic era, the role of enterprise data is shifting from a passive resource to a dynamic System of Action. That’s why we announced the Agentic Data Cloud — a unified architecture that integrates models, analytics, and operational databases into a single, AI-native system. This allows organizations to unlock the full potential of their […]

In the early days of generative AI, building safe and reliable business tools took massive engineering effort and a high tolerance for trial and error. We helped solve that with Vertex AI, our trusted AI development platform. But today, we’re managing a different level of complexity, with agents interacting across multiple systems — and often

This week at Google Cloud Next ‘26, we are sharing the evolution of Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), delivering leading performance, efficiency, security, and scale for your most demanding and complex workloads, and the next generation of AI and agentic applications. Why it matters:  Kubernetes has rapidly become the operating system for the AI era, with

Traditional data catalogs were built as manual inventories for technical users, focusing on table structures rather than the deep context that AI agents need. When agents lack business semantics and data relationships, this triggers hallucinations, high latency, and stale insights.  To address this problem, we are evolving Dataplex into a dynamic, always-on Knowledge Catalog that

At Google, our TPU design philosophy has always been centered on three pillars: scalability, reliability, and efficiency. As AI models evolve from dense large language models (LLMs) to massive Mixture-of-Experts (MoEs) and reasoning-heavy architectures, the hardware must do more than just add floating point operations per second (FLOPS); it must evolve to meet the specific

Today at Google Cloud Next, we are unveiling a more proactive Gemini Cloud Assist, our AI-assisted cloud operations platform. This update shifts your Google Cloud operations from manual workflows to a proactive, intelligent experience supported by a powerful ecosystem of agents. Why it matters: A new agentic architecture enables Gemini Cloud Assist to handle the

From vibe-coded and large-scale apps to AI models and agents, Cloud Run delivers on-demand compute with zero overhead and pay-per-use pricing for all of your workloads. Last year, the number of external active developers and applications on Cloud Run doubled, with more new customers and apps coming to Cloud Run in 2025 than in its

To act at the speed of business, AI agents must operate in fast and trusted reasoning loops. They need to “think” by reasoning across both your historical context and your live operational reality. Only by understanding this complete, real-time picture can they “do” — taking immediate action. For decades, data architectures have been built with

By combining the analytical depth of Looker with Google’s Agentic Data Cloud, the potential to transform how we model, interact with, and act on our data appears limitless. This week at Google Cloud Next, we are thrilled to share how we are reimagining the business intelligence (BI) stack with Looker for the AI era, starting

The era of agentic AI is accelerating from human- to machine-speed operations, while also creating profound stress on legacy technology infrastructure. This new reality pushes foundational systems to their limits: agents generate thousands of internal messages and complex queries, spawning more agents, all of which can rapidly overwhelm traditional networks and databases, and expose new
