Meet the LiteRT Tensor API: giving developers native C++ control over the model graph to unify end-to-end ML computations on heterogeneous edge hardware.
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.

Upcoming deprecation of selected GitHub Copilot models in mid-November
We will deprecate the following models across all GitHub Copilot experiences (including Copilot Chat, inline edits, ask and agent modes, and code completions) on November 16th, 2026: Model Deprecation date…
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.
Agentic autofix for code scanning alerts general availability
Agentic autofix for code scanning alerts is now generally available. It remediates alerts by working across your codebase the way a developer would: it explores relevant files, proposes a fix,…
Evaluating AI agents: moving past the vibe check
A practical engineering guide and reference architecture for establishing continuous evaluation pipelines for multi-turn AI agents using Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, Google ADK, and OpenInference standards.

HydraFusion has an updated model pool, improved orchestration workflows, and introduces HydraFusion Max. Both HydraFusion and HydraFusion Max are available across VS Code, the GitHub Copilot app, and GitHub Copilot…
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 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.
Gemini 4 Argon in GitHub Copilot
Gemini 4 Argon, Google’s newest frontier model, is now generally available in GitHub Copilot. It is designed for complex coding, agentic, and reasoning tasks. In early testing, Gemini 4 Argon…
Enterprise managed settings enforcement updates
Enterprise administrators can now require supported GitHub Copilot clients to retrieve current server-managed settings at startup instead of relying on a cached policy. We are also adding minimum client version…
Optimizing a 200,000-line Python codebase overnight with Gemini 4 Argon
How our engineering team ran Gemini 4 Argon unattended overnight with .agents/skills and /goal mode to cut in-memory session prep overhead by 40% in long sessions and speed up cold imports by 21% in Google's open-source Python Agent Development Kit (ADK).
Gemini 4 Argon for Robotics
Gemini 4 Argon is a general-purpose physical reasoning model designed to enhance workflows across the robotics stack with advanced capabilities in physical understanding, code generation, and visual-semantic reasoning. Developers can access and integrate Argon across Google's developer platforms—including Google AI Studio, the Gemini API, and Google Antigravity—to build and test sophisticated robotic applications. By leveraging simulation tools like MuJoCo and code-as-policies, engineers can seamlessly transition from real-world data or sketches to physically verified robot control and self-improvement workflows.
