What’s new in the Agentic Data Cloud: Powering the System of Action

Companies are shifting from gen AI that simply answers questions to autonomous agents that perceive, reason, and act on their behalf. Attempting to scale these agents on legacy stacks exposes structural failures that can lead to fractured governance, a persistent…

The future of data lakehouse: Open and interoperable for the agentic era

Traditional lakehouses were engineered for the era of reporting, not the high-velocity, multimodal demands of AI agents. To bridge this gap, architecture must evolve into an AI-native foundation — one that replaces batch processing with continuous feedback loops and live…

What’s new with Databases: Powering the agentic future

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…

What’s new with the Cross-Cloud Network at Next ‘26

While generative AI sparked a revolution, the true paradigm shift is the rapid evolution from standalone AI models to multi-agent autonomous systems. In this new era, the network transcends basic connectivity to become the critical integration layer for your agentic…

Inside the eighth-generation TPU: An architecture deep dive

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…

Announcing Spanner Omni: Your infrastructure, Google’s innovation

Today, we announced the preview of Spanner Omni, a downloadable version of Spanner, that expands its industry-leading distributed database capabilities beyond Google Cloud. This enables enterprises to run Spanner in their own data centers, across clouds, or on a laptop…

Cross-cloud infrastructure innovation for the agentic enterprise

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…
