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.

We're excited to introduce LiteRT.js, the newest member of the LiteRT family! LiteRT.js is our powerful solution for running machine learning models directly in the browser, extending Google's cross-platform edge AI runtime to the web. Built for JavaScript developers, LiteRT.js delivers state-of-the-art ML model inference performance on WebGPU and upcoming WebNN, with a fallback to WebAssembly for CPU. This post provides a quick tour of LiteRT.js and gives web developers everything they need to get started.

The Agent Development Kit (ADK) for Go 2.0 has been released, introducing a first-class, graph-based workflow engine to help developers compose complex, multi-agent applications. This update adds built-in primitives for human-in-the-loop (HITL) orchestration, dynamic execution using plain Go code, and automated resilience features like exponential backoff retries. By unifying the execution model, both single-agent applications and intricate graphs now run on the same runtime, simplifying telemetry and state persistence.

Answering the questions of "why we built ADK 2.0". This explains the rationale, some of the features, and why a developer should consider upgrading. This will be published the day after ADK go 2.0 launches.

Building AI agents often leaves developers uncertain if prompt tweaks to fix single errors will accidentally cause widespread regressions in production. To bridge this gap, Google has introduced a new developer skill for coding agents that automates a five-stage evaluation flywheel: preparing data, running inference, grading with adaptive AutoRaters, analyzing failure clusters, and executing targeted optimizations. Running continuously against production traffic or on-demand via synthetic scenarios, this tool allows developers to describe testing goals in plain language while an independent evaluation service safely validates and counts actual performance improvements.

The newly released Gemma 4 12B is a dense, multimodal model designed for high-performance local AI execution on consumer devices. By introducing a novel, encoder-free architecture, it bypasses traditional visual and audio encoders to feed multimodal data directly into the LLM backbone.

Google announced the transition from assistive AI to independent agents, highlighting the launch of the Gemini 3.5 series and major updates to its Antigravity agent-first development platform. For mobile developers, the post introduces new Android CLI tools, the Android Bench evaluation leaderboard, and an automated Migration agent designed to rapidly convert various frameworks into native Kotlin code. Web development is also being transformed through Chrome DevTools for agents, the HTML-in-Canvas API, and the proposal of WebMCP, an open web standard that enables browser-based AI agents to execute complex tasks.
