10 curated links on AI agents, Python, security, Google Cloud, and engineering, selected by Médéric Hurier.

  1. Introducing Agent Compute Engine and expanding agent governance

    cloud.google.com

    Isolates every autonomous agent session inside a dedicated microVM backed by Titanium hardware roots of trust and open-sources the Agent Substrate GKE runtime for 10x higher multi-agent workload density alongside unified fleet governance.

  2. Agent Compute Engine deep dive

    cloud.google.com

    Details how copy-on-write memory sharing, fast checkpoint/restore across idle inference waits, dm-verity read-only root filesystems, and zero-credential guest sandboxes scale hundreds of millions of isolated agent sessions.

  3. Architecting Governed, Self-Evolving AI Agents on Google Cloud

    developers.googleblog.com

    Combines the Agent Development Kit (ADK), BigQuery telemetry, Model Armor guardrails, and Cloud KMS cryptographic identities on the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform to build self-evolving agents that remediate production outages in seconds.

  4. Introducing TorchTPU

    pytorch.org

    Google and Meta open-source a native PyTorch PrivateUse1 backend for Cloud TPUs supporting out-of-the-box eager execution, DeferAndFuse HBM optimization, torch.compile, and direct integration with vLLM, SGLang, and TorchTitan.

  5. Donating Agent Skills to the Agentic AI Foundation

    anthropic.com

    Contributes the open SKILL.md standard for packaging on-demand agent instructions, scripts, and domain workflows to the Linux Foundation's Agentic AI Foundation alongside MCP for vendor-neutral governance and cross-platform portability.

  6. Knowledge Catalog: self-learning context enrichment for AI agents

    cloud.google.com

    Evolves Dataplex into a self-learning context engine that uses Gemini to continuously mine schemas, query logs, and Looker semantic models, exposing governed metadata and verified queries to AI agents via sub-second Context APIs and MCP tools.

  7. Expanding Claude availability and deployment choice on Google Cloud

    cloud.google.com

    Brings Anthropic-managed Claude deployments to general availability on Google Cloud alongside existing Google-managed Vertex AI endpoints, letting enterprises pair direct Anthropic platform access with consolidated cloud billing and infrastructure.

  8. How bug bounty sharpens one researcher’s security skills

    github.blog

    Profiles security researcher @r31n's methodology for discovering complex vulnerabilities in GitHub Enterprise Server through manual source-to-sink code analysis, state-transition testing, and multi-step exploit chaining rather than automated scanners.

  9. Real-time speech translation in Google Meet expands to 63 languages with automatic language detection

    workspaceupdates.googleblog.com

    Scales continuous, voice-preserving speech translation across 63 languages in Google Meet with real-time automatic spoken-language detection to eliminate manual toggling during multilingual calls.

  10. The AI cyber arms race is escalating fast
