Our TPUs are headed to space! Inspired by our history of moonshots, from quantum computing to autonomous driving, Project Suncatcher is exploring how we could one day build scalable ML compute systems in space, harnessing more of the sun’s power (which emits more power than 100 trillion times humanity’s total electricity production). Like any moonshot, it’s going to require us to solve a lot of complex engineering challenges. Early research shows our Trillium-generation TPUs (our tensor processing units, purpose-built for AI) survived without damage when tested in a particle accelerator to simulate low-earth orbit levels of radiation. However, significant challenges still remain like thermal management and on-orbit system reliability. More testing and breakthroughs will be needed as we count down to launch two prototype satellites with @planet by early 2027, our next milestone of many. Excited for us to be a part of all the innovation happening in (this) space!

Explore the latest advancements in AI agents for data engineering and data science with @SmithaKolan and @LuciaBlick on The Agent Factory Podcast. They cover new releases, including the computer use model and CodeMender, demos of agents designed for BigQuery, data science, and more. Highlights: 00:00 Intro 01:45 Gemini Computer Use Model and Demo 04:33 CodeMender: AI agent for code security 06:44 Data Engineering and Data Science Agents Demo 09:01 How the data science agent helps in detecting anomalies in datasets 10:27 How the data engineering agent uses AI to generate SQL and create data pipelines 26:01 Demo of ADK app that uses a Spanner graph database and generates comics using Nano Banana 38:49 Developer Q&A

You can just vibe code on a podcast. Watching @OfficialLoganK doing some unscripted, real-time app building with @GoogleAIStudio alongside @SmithaKolan and @MollzMP. I think we're underrating the software explosion that's coming. youtube.com/watch?v=azvA2B…
