Supercharging the agentic era with Spanner’s multi-model architecture

In the agentic era, the role of the database has fundamentally changed. It is no longer a passive repository; it’s a critical context engine designed to ground generative AI apps, models and power autonomous workflows. To do this effectively, databases must move beyond fragmented architectures and embrace a unified, multi-model foundation, facilitating deep reasoning and transforming static data into a system of action.  Spanner is leading this charge, and as a foundational pillar of Google’s Ag

Approval Queues Are the Runtime for Agentic AI Workflows | Focused Labs

An exception queue is the next agent interface to embed. Dull. An exception queue is fundamentally simple. All enterprise autonomy requires is for the agent to create a review item (e.g. an Approval item) and park its state. Then it waits for someone to make a decision, and resumes execution when done. If the AI agentic workflow depended on someone physically being present to “review” the AI (e.g. by staring at chat) then it would simply be another chat app, dressing up in a hard hat for work. L

The textbook answer is function hooking, and the textbook tools are C++. I've shipped all common libs. They work, but the "just overwrite the first bytes with a jump" idea hides a surprising amount of sharp edges

Google A2A Protocol in 2026: Adoption, Hype, and Reality

Google's Agent2Agent protocol, usually shortened to A2A, had a strange first year. When Google announced A2A in April 2025, the pitch was clear: AI agents built by different vendors, frameworks, and teams needed a standard way to communicate. The protocol promised agent discovery, task delegation, message exchange, streaming updates, and artifact sharing. The reaction, however, was considerably less clean than the announcement. Some developers saw A2A as the missing agent-to-agent layer for the
