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 these challenges. By letting developers test ML workloads across a fleet of over 120 representative Android device t

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 announcement of GKE Agent Sandbox at KubeCon NA in November 2025, the community adoption has rapidly accelerated: we have seen more t

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, Google’s open-source runtime standard for agent execution, resumption, and distributed deployment. Based on what we’ve learned from solving these chall

Why SAP S/4HANA Landscape Design Impacts Cloud TCO More Than Compute Costs
Introduction: Beyond Compute Prices When migrating or running SAP S/4HANA on AWS, many organizations fixate on EC2 instance prices and assume that choosing the cheapest instance types will yield the biggest savings. In reality, cloud TCO is heavily impacted by landscape design choices, how many environments you run, how they’re sized, how data is managed and what auxiliary services you use. Cutting cloud costs isn’t just about shrinking VM sizes it’s about architecting an efficient SAP landscape

Agent harnesses like Claude Code, Codex, and LangChain Deep Agents are excellent orchestrators. They manage sessions, chain tools, execute code, and respond to developer intent. But when these harnesses need to do deep research, such as multi-document synthesis, decision briefs backed by enterprise data, and long-horizon analysis with
