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.

Distributed AI training is notoriously fragile because losing a single machine typically crashes the entire multi-node job, forcing a time-consuming, full-workload infrastructure restart. To address this, Google’s JAX ecosystem utilizes elastic training via Pathways, which converts a hardware failure into a catchable Python exception so the running process can survive. When an unplanned failure occurs, the system automatically replaces only the broken worker, restores the last viable checkpoint from Cloud Storage, and resumes training in place—minimizing total downtime to under two minutes without ever restarting the main controller process.

The open-source Genkit framework has introduced the Agents API, a full-stack tool designed to simplify the complex plumbing of conversational AI by packaging message history, tool loops, and streaming into a single interface. The API supports flexible, server- or client-managed state persistence—allowing for advanced workflows like history branching, long-running detached tasks, and multi-agent coordination—while seamlessly connecting backends to frontends via a unified wire protocol. Currently available in preview for TypeScript and Go, it also integrates with the Genkit Developer UI to allow developers to easily test, debug, and inspect agent snapshots without writing client code.

Google has officially launched the TPU Developer Hub, a centralized educational resource designed to help model builders and developers maximize the performance of Google Cloud TPUs. The hub offers code-first resources, open-source recipes, and deep-dive documentation covering hardware architecture, software optimization, debugging, parallelism, and networking. These materials are tailored for both human developers and AI-assisted tools to streamline everything from large-scale training to low-latency inference workloads.

Google is enhancing Sign in with Google by introducing new OIDC standard claims—specifically auth_time and amr (Authentication Methods Reference) to provide developers with deeper session metadata. These updates allow verified apps to verify the "freshness" of a user's login and the specific authentication methods used (such as MFA or hardware keys), enabling more dynamic, risk-based access controls. By leveraging these federated identity signals, platforms can better prevent account takeover and fraud while implementing granular security policies like step-up authentication for sensitive actions.

Google Pay is evolving for "agentic commerce" by introducing the Universal Commerce Protocol and a new MCP server that allows AI agents to manage integrations and analyze trends. New Android updates introduce dynamic callbacks for seamless express checkouts and extend payment support into social media apps via WebViews. Additionally, the platform is launching cross-device biometric authentication and new transaction signals to help merchants reduce friction and optimize processing costs.
