Announcing New vLLM and SGLang Inference Engines on TPU

This post announces native PyTorch backends for vLLM and SGLang powered by TorchTPU, enabling developers to run and optimize serving workloads using familiar PyTorch tools. Built in collaboration with open-source project maintainers, these engines include optimized TPU kernel implementations, production-ready features like KV cache management with TPU Sync, and disaggregated serving. Public benchmarks demonstrate state-of-the-art performance and industry-leading cost efficiency on Ironwood TPU across long-context and agentic workloads.

Integrating TorchTPU into TorchTitan and Optimizing Models for TPU

TorchTPU integrates a native torch.device("tpu") backend directly into PyTorch, allowing developers to train large-scale models on Google Cloud TPUs without rewriting code in JAX. The TorchTitan TPU fork enhances this with production-grade scaling primitives like SimpleFSDP, Graph Trainer, and custom Pallas kernels that achieve high Model Flops Utilization (MFU) across dense and MoE architectures. Developers can leverage these battle-tested optimization playbooks, recipes, and the Hugging Face modeling backend to efficiently scale their own workloads on TPU infrastructure.

Unifying Edge AI: How Coral NPU’s open standard brings portable, energy-viable intelligence from model to silicon

Google Research has completed the 32-bit open-source Coral NPU RISC-V architecture with the introduction of its Matrix Execution Unit, which delivers up to 1 TOPS while targeting 10 mW average power for edge inference. Alongside this architecture, the release of the v1.0 open-source IREE/MLIR compiler allows developers to take models from JAX, PyTorch, and TensorFlow straight to Coral NPU hardware without writing custom assembly. Developers can now prototype and deploy these multimodal edge applications using new hardware options like the Synaptics Astra SR200 MCU series and globally available Coralboard devkits.12

Step by Step guide: Build a Voice Agent That Never Goes Silent using ADK

The open-source Agent Development Kit (ADK) and gemini-3.8-live enable developers to build responsive voice agents by implementing non-blocking tools in Python. Developers can use streaming tools to yield progress updates or background execution patterns to keep conversations fluid during long-running backend queries. Additionally, configuring response scheduling behaviors such as WHEN_IDLE, INTERRUPT, or SILENT gives developers precise control over when and how tool results are delivered into the conversation.

Announcing DPoP Support for Google OAuth: Securing Refresh Tokens

Google OAuth Platform now supports DPoP (Demonstrating Proof-of-Possession) to sender-constrain refresh tokens, neutralizing Infostealer malware and adversary-in-the-middle attacks. By cryptographically binding long-lived refresh tokens while maintaining short-lived access tokens as standard Bearer tokens, developers achieve robust credential security without incurring high-QPS API performance overhead. Additionally, developers integrating multi-agent or Model Context Protocol (MCP) workloads can use Google Cloud Secure Token Service (STS) to handle secure token delegation across agent chains.

Three layers, one repo: a tour of google/adk-recipes

The google/adk-recipes repository unifies Agent Development Kit (ADK) resources into three structured layers—core/, plugins/, and contrib/—serving as a single source of truth for building AI agents. Developers can leverage reference patterns, install modular vertical skills (such as retail product search and virtual try-on) directly into their coding assistants, and deploy production-ready services across multiple languages. This cohesive structure streamlines the entire workflow from initial scaffolding to full deployment on Google Cloud infrastructure.

Announcing MCP support in Apigee hybrid: agentic tools that run in your own cluster

Apigee hybrid 1.17.0 introduces native Model Context Protocol (MCP) support, enabling the MCP data plane to run directly within your own Kubernetes cluster. This architecture ensures that AI agent request traffic and tool execution remain entirely inside your infrastructure while pulling configuration updates from the control plane. Developers can expose OpenAPI 3.0.x specifications as discoverable MCP tools, leverage existing security policies and API products, and trace end-to-end requests using W3C trace context headers.

Origin App Marketplace

Origin now integrates with over 20 apps for deployments, CI, code review, security, monitoring, and project management, from partners including Cloudflare, Linear, Sentry, and Socket Security. Starting today, the marketplace is also open to public submissions, so any team building developer tools can publish an app for Origin. #Apps for your stack The marketplace now includes apps for: Deployments: Cloudflare, Netlify, Render, Spacelift, and Vercel CI: Buildkite, CircleCI, CloudBees, Depot, EngFlow, Namespace, and RWX Code review: CodeRabbit, Greptile, and Tenki Security: Artemis Security, Semgrep, Socket Security, and Upwind Monitoring: Sentry Project management: Linear #Publish to Marketplace To submit an app: Create an app in your namespace. It stays private to your namespace while you build. Build against the Origin API. Apps authenticate with an app JWT and installation access tokens, receive webhook events, and write back check runs, pull request comments, and reviews. Make the app public, then submit it from the app's page with a slug, suggested tags, and a demo video. The video should show install, uninstall, and your core product flows. We review the submission and list the app once it's approved. #Get started Try the apps in the Origin App Marketplace today. Want to build an Origin app? Start with the publishing guide and the Origin API reference. The Origin Apps plugin can also answer questions from the live Origin API docs and plan a port to Origin for an app you already run.
