Announcing ADK for Kotlin 1.0: Building Production-Ready AI Agents in Kotlin, Android, and Beyond

Google has officially released version 1.0 of the Agent Development Kit (ADK) for Kotlin, achieving full feature parity with the Python and Java ADK cores to enable idiomatic, multi-agent AI development. Built on Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP), the framework leverages Kotlin Symbol Processing (KSP) for zero-reflection, type-safe function calling, alongside advanced orchestration capabilities like human-in-the-loop workflows and context compaction. Additionally, the release introduces a robust suite

Build zero-trust AI agents that judge intent, not just syntax

This blog post explores how to transition AI agents from static, build-time security controls to dynamic runtime governance using the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. It highlights three primary managed defenses: Model Armor for screening edge prompts, Semantic Governance Policies for evaluating tool intent against business rules, and Agent Anomaly Detection for catching multi-turn exploits. By shifting these capabilities to the platform level, security administrators can dynamically enforce po

Agent Anomaly Detection, now in Private Preview on the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform

Agent Anomaly Detection is a new, out-of-band oversight layer for the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform that analyzes OpenTelemetry traces and tool calls to catch behavioral risks without adding runtime latency to live requests. It utilizes a multi-tiered detection pipeline—combining lightweight statistical scanning with deep LLM-based reasoning—to identify logical anomalies and policy violations grounded in the OWASP Agentic Top 10. Developers can triage these automated findings within Security

Why client SDK generation belongs in the open

Google has partnered with Speakeasy to open-source their OpenAPI code generation suite under the AGPLv3 license, a strategic move prompted by the sudden shutdown of Google's previous proprietary SDK provider. The newly open-sourced suite equips developers with deterministic, multi-language SDK generators that natively support strict typing and SSE streaming, alongside tools for compiling agent-native CLIs and documentation MCP servers. Engineering teams can now safely integrate this robust tooli

Introducing Support for Local AI Models in the Antigravity SDK

The Google Antigravity SDK now empowers developers to execute offline, agentic workflows locally using models like Gemma 4 26B A4B via LiteRT. This update facilitates powerful hybrid orchestration architectures, allowing a cloud model to act as a lightweight planner while local models securely handle token-intensive tasks—like code auditing and patching—directly on-device. Furthermore, the SDK provides drop-in support for OpenAI-compatible inference servers like Ollama and vLLM, enabling the sea

Turn your REST APIs into MCP tools with Google Cloud API Gateway

Google Cloud API Gateway now acts as a native remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, eliminating the need to build and maintain custom middleware to expose REST APIs to AI agents. By simply adding specific annotations (like x-google-api-management.mcp) to existing OpenAPI 3.x specifications, developers can instantly convert standard REST operations into discoverable, agent-ready tools. The gateway automatically transcodes incoming MCP JSON-RPC requests into REST calls, ensuring that your ex
