AI overview

Google announced Agent Compute Engine, a service that gives each AI agent its own hardware-isolated microVM secured by Google’s Titanium chip; it already powers Gemini, with preview access planned in the coming months. The service automatically pauses idle VMs and uses shared memory to reduce operating costs. Google says its open-source Kubernetes runtime, Agent Substrate, supports ten times as many agents per server and achieved suspend and resume times below 500 milliseconds in a test involving 200,000 agents.
