Even though that’s it for the live keynotes, we’re still on the ground, jumping between sessions and chatting with Google executives to get all the latest details on this year’s long list of announcements.
Next, we head to a breakout session to learn what’s new from Gemini, Google DeepMind
Additionally, Rapid Enterprise Migration, in preview, is now up to 5x faster to move an entire organization off M365 thanks to extensive work on interoperability.
Yulie Kwon is now on stage to announce the general availability of Workspace Intelligence – deeper context for gathering information with situational awareness and personalization. This turns fragmented information into a clear path forward, she adds.
In a quick on-stage demo, we see Gemini Enterprise for Customer Experience handle complex workflows with product queries and even language changes. For the consumer, this means that conversational AI can be used via phone support, with the AI agent having access to all the necessary resources behind the scenes.
Just weeks after learning that Google Cloud had completed its acquisition of Wiz, we now have a glimpse of what this acquisition means for Google Cloud.
On the data side, Google launches “completely borderless” Cross-Cloud Lakehouse
Karthik Narain, Chief Product and Sales Officer, is here for the upcoming launches, starting with Knowledge Catalog, Intelligent Storage for Agent-Ready Data with Instant Tagging and Zero Manual Data Engineering, and Deep Research Agent.
Of course, we’ll have more details on Google’s two new TPUs coming later.
As for the TPU 8i, it now supports up to 1,152 TPUs per pod via Boardfly Topology. We’ve broken the ‘memory wall,’ says Google
The 8t TPU promises 3x performance per module, support for up to 9,600 TPUs via 3D torus topology, 2 PB of shared bandwidth memory (enough to hold the entire Library of Congress digital collection 100 times larger)
Then TPU 8t and TPU 8i are announced
For another live demo, three-time Olympic gold medalist and snowboarder Shaun White shows us how Google Cloud and Gemini can analyze the details of a video for detailed analytics.
Oh, and of course, the convention center was filled with “snow” for White’s entrance.
“The era of the pilot is over, the era of the agent is here,” Kurian says as he welcomes colleague Erica Chuong for a demo.
Projects in Gemini Enterprise, coming soon, serve as a shared workspace for teams and agents
The name drops continue as Thomas Kurian reminds us that Google Cloud has partnered with NASA/Artemis II for flight readiness with agentic AI.
And the name falls… Google Cloud reminds us of the historic partnership with Apple, which will drive Siri, much improved this year.
We also hear about Gemini 3.1 Pro, Gemini 3.1 Flash Image (Nano Banana 2), Veo 3.1 Lite and Lyria 3 Pro.
The main theme of today’s keynote and this year’s announcements will be Google Cloud’s new Gemini enterprise agent platform, described as an “end-to-end system for the agent era.”
About 75% of all new Google codes are generated by AI, Google CEO Sundar Pichai explains in a pre-recorded video. About a year ago, we reported that AI made up about 25% of Google’s new code (and a third for Microsoft).
“How to put AI into production across your business?” » asks Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud, welcoming the audience.
Spoiler alert, he’s already given us the answer: it’s a unified stack. That’s what we’ll be hearing about over the next couple of days.
In true tech conference style, a live DJ set warms up the audience ahead of today’s announcements
