Credentio is a newly released, open-source C++ library from Google that allows developers to integrate high-performance, local-first validation of C2PA Content Credentials into their client and server applications. By processing assets entirely locally with a highly optimized memory footprint, the library delivers instant validation verdicts for multi-gigabyte media files without incurring cloud latency, bandwidth costs, or data privacy risks. The library currently features deep manifest parsing alongside configurable trust list integration, and is available now on Google Source with future plans to support full credential generation and embedding.

Deploying secure, real-time Edge AI on Raspberry Pi is now simplified using LiteRT and lightweight Gemma open models. LiteRT optimizes CPU and GPU performance, delivering fast token speeds for models like Gemma4, enabling real-time local reasoning for robotics. Developers can quickly convert, quantize, and run these models using the lightweight LiteRT CLI tool. Support for Hailo AI accelerators is also coming very soon.

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.

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.

The Google Cloud Workbench Notebooks extension for VS Code has officially launched, allowing developers to connect their local IDE to scalable, cloud-based Jupyter environments. This integration streamlines the machine learning lifecycle by eliminating context switching and providing direct access to high-performance Google Cloud infrastructure. To support transparency and community-driven innovation, the newly released extension is fully open-sourced and available on GitHub and the VS Code Marketplace.

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.

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.

Celebrating the first anniversary of the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol, this blog post highlights how the framework enables autonomous AI agents to securely collaborate and hand off tasks without the rigidity of traditional APIs. By delegating complex workflows to specialized peer agents, A2A prevents context pollution, ensures data privacy, and simplifies application design through modularity. To demonstrate this ecosystem in action, the post spotlights FoldRun—an agentic interface for life sciences that orchestrates complex protein structure predictions—alongside diverse A2A use cases spanning commerce, data streaming, DevOps, and telecommunications.

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.
