Google has announced the new Google Pay & Wallet Developer MCP server, an open-standard tool designed to securely connect AI development assistants and IDEs with real-time API and account context. The server allows developers to remain within their development environment to search official documentation, validate Wallet pass definitions, check integration status, and manage merchant accounts. Ultimately, this integration aims to reduce friction and accelerate development workflows by minimizing context switching and providing up-to-date, grounded AI support.

The Google Tensor ML SDK is graduating to its Beta phase, allowing developers to build and deploy high-performance machine learning models directly onto the TPU of Google Pixel 10 devices. By integrating with LiteRT, Google's edge deployment framework, the SDK provides a unified workflow for developers to convert, compile, and run PyTorch or TFLite models with robust fallback options. Additionally, a new model garden offers over 100 classic and generative AI models, including Gemma 3, enabling low-latency, private features like speech recognition, computer vision, and text generation.

Google is unifying its AI terminal tools by transitioning the community-focused Gemini CLI into Antigravity CLI, a new agent-first platform built for complex, multi-agent workflows. This new Go-based tool offers faster execution, asynchronous processing, and a unified architecture that syncs with the Antigravity 2.0 desktop application. While enterprise customers will maintain existing access, individual and free users must transition to the new platform before Gemini CLI stops serving requests on June 18, 2026.

Google AI Edge’s LiteRT-LM provides a production-proven, highly optimized infrastructure for running Gemma 4 across cross-platform mobile and edge environments. It actively unlocks the model's native multimodal and agentic features on-device by utilizing memory-efficient dynamic loading, Multi-Token Prediction for up to a 2.2x speedup, and advanced orchestration tools like Thinking Mode and Constrained Decoding. Furthermore, the engine is rapidly expanding its integration surfaces beyond Android, introducing new native Swift APIs for Apple ecosystems and WebGPU-accelerated JavaScript APIs for high-performance, serverless browser inference.

The Google AI Edge Gallery app has expanded its on-device AI capabilities by introducing experimental support for the open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) on Android, allowing Gemma 4 to coordinate complex tasks across external data sources like Google Workspace and Google Maps. To enable more proactive and persistent user interactions, the update adds a "Schedule Notification" skill for automating routines and a persistent chat history feature that restores long session contexts nearly instantly. Driven by an open-source toolkit, the platform encourages community developers to build and share custom utility-focused workflows, prompt configurations, and tool integrations via its GitHub repository.

Genkit is an open-source framework designed to help developers build production-ready, agentic AI applications using TypeScript, Go, Dart, and Python. The framework utilizes a powerful middleware system that intercepts generation calls to inject custom behaviors like retries, model fallbacks, and human-in-the-loop tool approvals. By attaching hooks at the generate, model, and tool layers, developers can ensure high reliability and deterministic control over model outputs. Furthermore, Genkit allows for the creation and stacking of custom middleware, all of which can be inspected and debugged through a dedicated Developer UI.

How to transition from stateless chatbots to production-grade agents capable of managing long-running enterprise workflows, such as HR onboarding, that span days or weeks. It introduces the Agent Development Kit (ADK) and its architectural shifts, specifically using durable state machines and persistent session storage to ensure an agent never loses context during "idle time" or server restarts. By leveraging event-driven webhooks and multi-agent delegation, the tutorial demonstrates how to build resilient systems that "sleep" during pauses and wake up to resume complex tasks with high reasoning accuracy.
