Scaling Agentic RL: High-Throughput Agentic Training with Tunix

Scaling Agentic RL: High-Throughput Agentic Training with Tunix

Tunix is Google’s new JAX-native post-training library designed to eliminate TPU idling bottlenecks when training multi-turn, tool-using LLM reasoning agents. It maximizes hardware throughput by combining highly concurrent, asynchronous rollouts with a decoupled producer-consumer pipeline, ensuring the trainer is constantly fed even while agents wait on network I/O or environment steps. Additionally, Tunix provides plug-and-play abstractions and continuous macro-level profiling, allowing developers to easily integrate custom open-source environments and optimize complex distributed workflows without massive code rewrites.

Evolving Spec-Driven Development: Conductor Now Supports Antigravity

Evolving Spec-Driven Development: Conductor Now Supports Antigravity

Conductor has evolved from a Gemini CLI extension into a portable plugin, bringing conversational Spec-Driven Development (SDD) to ecosystems like Antigravity CLI and Claude. Rather than relying on strict command sequences, developers can now chat naturally with their AI assistant while it dynamically manages persistent markdown artifacts (like spec.md and plan.md) in the background. This update eliminates workflow friction while ensuring your repository remains a version-controlled, single source of truth for your project's architecture and state across different AI tools.

Expanding Choice in Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform: Introducing Grounding with Parallel Web Search

Expanding Choice in Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform: Introducing Grounding with Parallel Web Search

Google Cloud has partnered with Parallel Web Systems to natively integrate Parallel's search infrastructure as a web grounding provider on the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. This integration enables developers to anchor their AI agents in verifiable, real-time web results, significantly improving factual accuracy for complex enterprise workflows. Additionally, the partnership offers expanded architectural flexibility, allowing users to programmatically extract, permanently cache, and process web data alongside other large language models.

Systems Engineering Playbook: Optimizing Qwen 3.5-397B MoE on Ironwood (TPU7x)

Systems Engineering Playbook: Optimizing Qwen 3.5-397B MoE on Ironwood (TPU7x)

To serve the 397B-parameter Qwen 3.5 Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model on Ironwood TPUs, engineers developed a modular JAX/Pallas optimization stack that achieved up to a 4.7x inference speedup for prefill-heavy workloads. The team bypassed severe hardware sharding constraints by deploying a hybrid Data Parallelism and Expert Parallelism (DP+EP) topology, paired with custom low-level communication fusions like a hierarchical reduce-scatter to optimize cross-device token routing. Finally, by executing hardware-aware custom kernels—such as Batched Ragged Page Attention and a fully-fused Gated DeltaNet (GDN) block—they successfully saturated HBM bandwidth and TensorCore MXUs to push system throughput near its theoretical roofline limits.

Run Ray on TPU, Part 1: The foundations

Run Ray on TPU, Part 1: The foundations

Ray 2.55 introduces official, first-class support for Google Cloud TPUs, enabling developers to run distributed Python workloads on Google's accelerators using the familiar Ray task-and-actor APIs. To handle the strict networking requirement of keeping multi-host TPU "slices" together over their Inter-Chip Interconnect (ICI), the KubeRay Operator on GKE automatically provisions and labels the underlying hardware layout. Ray Core utilizes these labels via its slice_placement_group() primitive to atomically reserve complete slices, allowing developers to deploy jobs through KubeRay, Ray Train, or Ray Serve simply by declaring a hardware topology (like "4x4") without writing custom placement code.

HeyGen x Google Cloud: Bringing Avatar IV to TPUs

HeyGen x Google Cloud: Bringing Avatar IV to TPUs

HeyGen ported their 18B+ parameter Avatar IV video generation model to Google Cloud's Trillium (v6e) TPUs via torchax and XLA, utilizing FSDP and Ulysses sequence parallelism across an eight-chip mesh. To achieve a 1.86x speedup for real-time streaming, the engineering team pipelined exposed all-to-all collectives, aligned sparse attention block sizes to eliminate mask padding, and bypassed softmax serial dependencies using a precomputed Cauchy-Schwarz upper bound. These custom Pallas kernel and compiler optimizations were deployed only after passing rigorous two-tier quality gates to guarantee byte-identical or mathematically equivalent pixel outputs.

Agent Plugins package your skills, tools, and more

Agent Plugins package your skills, tools, and more

Agent Plugins 1.0.0 is a new, vendor-neutral directory specification—backed by Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and others—for packaging Agent Skills and MCP servers into a single portable unit. By standardizing the manifest (plugin.json) and utilizing a fixed directory layout, it eliminates the need for developers to maintain separate wrappers or configurations to support different AI coding agents and IDEs. Google has officially joined as a Core Maintainer and already rolled out support in the Agents CLI and Data Agent Kit, allowing developers to start building and distributing interoperable plugins today.

Model routing with Google Cloud API Gateway

Model routing with Google Cloud API Gateway

Google Cloud API Gateway now offers a model routing feature in Public Preview, allowing developers to dynamically route traffic to models like Gemini, Claude, or OpenAI OSS-GPT without hardcoding endpoints or managing open-source proxies. Developers can easily configure these routing rules directly within their OpenAPI 3.x specifications by mapping virtual model names to specific backend targets on a shared host. Once deployed, the Gateway acts as a serverless ingress layer that accepts standard OpenAI-compatible requests, automatically transcodes the payload to the native schema of the target model, and routes the traffic on the fly.
